I was really looking forward to the Playstation Portal. However, the missing bluetooth functionalty is a dealbraker!

I already have great Sony WF-1000X. why should I buy extra headphones just for the portal? (which I then have to carry around as well…)

Now the real questions:

  1. Playstation Link should be better in terms of lag. Is the difference really this big in comparison to bluetooth?
  2. is it possible that Sony will enable bluetooth-support via a software update (or is the hardware for bluetooth missing?)

    Sony are claiming it’s all to do with their proprietary streaming codec

    Sooo… Sony doing the same Sony bullshit they’ve done for 30+ years now?

    Nothing new under the sun there.

      It sucks, but I’ll take that over Microsoft’s dumb decision to not only have a proprietary wireless protocol for Xbox like Sony, but also restrict audio streaming over USB to signed devices only for “security”.

      At least on PS5 I can plug in my wired headset using USB.

      It depends. Sony used to have their own proprietary SD-Card: Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo. And the got rid of it (now using regular SD-Cards.)

      So I do have a little bit of hope ;-)
