    Product seems to be good. My son loves it the little bit he has gotten to play it. We just got to start using it due to the Best Buy worker giving us the wrong one. So, we ended up having to upgrade the phone to use it. Make sure you are given the correct connection for your phone.

    The PlayStation Portal offers an immersive gaming experience with a diverse library of titles. Its user-friendly interface and seamless navigation enhance the gaming journey. However, occasional server issues can disrupt the online aspect. Overall, a compelling platform for gaming enthusiasts seeking a vast array of interactive entertainment.

    It's a nice thought but it's too small for games like 2k that require more skill and because the timing will be terrible regardless of good internet. Shooter games are great with this. Other games are decent.
