For the average consumer all we can do is sit back and watch these get more affordable over the years. The PS2 Portable is aimed at someone who has dreamed of wanting this for a long time, has some spare cash and are big fans of portable handhelds. The build quality could be better, the battery life could be better and so on, but they’ve obviously tried to keep it under the $1000 and have had to sacrrifice those features in order to do so. Look, the PS2 Portable is the first draft of a new wave of custom consoles, and yes, shortcuts have been made, but this is simply due to the budget they have per unit, and the time it takes to make these products by hand. It sounds like a small harrier jet preparing for take off, but that just adds to the wow factor. When you turn on the device you will hear the fans come into action, just like the old console, so expect to get funny looks on the bus when you power up this thing. The device when in the hand is fairly heavy, because… well, there’s a PS2 console inside, including a screen. You can play while it charges, but it’s a little awkward.
While we’re on the subject of battery life the PS2 Portable can play for up to 2.5 hours on one single charge, the large brick like charging cable comes with the device and plugs in via the top. Hopefully better shoulder buttons, a more comfortable form factor and slightly better battery life. The PS2 portable itself, isn’t very comfortable, it’s very boxy, square and the shoulder buttons are awkwardly placed making it uncomfortable to play on for anything over 30 minutes.Īgain, the team are very new to this and I can see them coming up with a lot of new versions in the future if things go to plan.
