Others have said it already, but it’s the best way to describe it. It’s literally just a screen with a controller attached. You can only use it for remote play on a PlayStation console at home. It doesn’t offer cloud gaming and it doesn’t allow you to even connect to WiFi networks that require you to sign on in a browser before gaining access to the Internet because the thing doesn’t even have a browser included in the software. The only common use case I could see for this thing is if you’re you going to a friend’s house as a teen and want to play online games while in person.
Even then, as a parent I would much rather just spend the extra money on a steamdeck or other handheld that has compute and actual software. This is a ripe $300 turd that hardcore PlayStation fans and overzealous scalpers are buying.

It’s $199, the same price as the Premium DualSense Edge controller.
That’s kind of ridiculous for a controller. Unless the entire casing is metal or something, that doesn’t seem worth it imo.
