It’s not like they have a, say, website or anything to post a regularly updated list. Nor will they print off a list for you if you ask. So it’s clearly intentional.
Also, PS Portals are frequently reduced to $299 so may not be worth it to some people.
Nor will they print off a list for you if you ask.
^This REALLY depends on who you ask.
That's how I managed to get the last list uploaded lol
a general idea, check those preowned game on their website,any game above $30, should be eligable
When I did the trade in deal for the PS5 pro, I had a friendly manager pick out the games from the Xbox used bin as she said those were the cheapest. Did the 2 transections (used games, then pro) and walked out. Seems like it comes down to the employee sometimes from reading about other experiences on ozbargain.
The PS5 Pro trade in deal worked with ANY game that wasn't released as Free-to-Play (Destiny, Rocket League, etc).
There was no minimum value required for that deal.
And u need a really good home wifi router to make it worthwhile
I use the Nokia 5G modem supplied by Optus.PS5 is connected via Ethernet. It works really well.
I'm also 1 room away from the modem.
Ethernet is key. Even if it's to a Wi-Fi repeater/bridge the PS5 is infinitely better remoteplay
I used the ps5 on wifi, with deco mesh, works ok. There were patchy connection sometimes but rare
They improved connection massively in November update
Bring back the Vita
due to popularity of portable pc and switch and possibly xbox portable
there is rumours that Sony is also working on a potential Vita successorUnlikely now that they have PS portal live streaming the extra/premium catalog.
I suspect that is their portable console. Just wish they would roll it out in Australia.We know that Microsoft is making their own portable gaming console
If Sony doesn't develop one they are gonna lose a big hot market of customers
(as can be seen by how popular and hot the switch and portable gaming pc is now)PS Portal is not a true portable console cos it requires another console (PS5 and good internet connection to stream it which is reported to still be laggy)

@pinkybrain: Not with the cloud streaming service you don't need another console. You just need a ps premium subscription. But again still not available in Australia which is a massive let down. It's. Currently available in 30 countries
Not a great deal, but fine if being lazy and not waiting for JB hi-fi discounts to stack
Or just go to Facebook Marketplace and buy used (in good condition) for $200?
PS Portal worked well when it's working well. But it's quirky most of the time (touchpad button on screen is really hard to interact with; The haptic feedback isn't entirely the same as DS5).
Yeh its never a good sign when market place is flooded with "only used once" with a massive price from from rrp.
Sony marketed it as almost like a switch, but its not portable in that regards at all. Eg: you couldnt use it readily on a plane.
You could easily pick one up off Facebook marketplace for ~$200. Lots of people selling them off, probably near new condition due to regretful purchases…
I bought $90 worth of games during EB's Boxing day sale and traded in at Cex for $180, then grabbed a Portal from them for $220.
$130 all up for an excellent condition use Portal.
I would recommend buy it of facebook marketplace, I sold mine which only used a few times for $200. From my experience back late last year that it is laggy, maybe its me and my connectivity
Firmware updates have fixed a lot of the lag issues.
Really shits me that they don't tell you what games are eligible. They just expect you to walk in with a tower of games I suppose.
