    I should have done more research into this product. I thought it was something like a gameboy that i could download and play the games with this as a remote without needing to use the playstion. Yet you do need the playstation so while you play this nobody can use your system to play there game. If your an only child or single then this is probably for you.

    Awesome little device that we bought for my son. One caveat. It has different connectors lightning and USBC depending on the model. Not the end of the world if you have a Lightning charge port on your phone or vice versa but you will need an adapter since most ‘phones are moving to USB C
