Less than the index once you account for inflation.

The index would cost 1300$ in today's money, give or take.

Tbf, of all consoles, PlayStation games are the easiest to actually dump legally owned copies of, all you need is a bluray reader and you can do all of them.

The joysticks are fine, nice that they're upgrading them. I want the d-pad to be clicky though. There are kits for the deck but I don't care enough about this to mess with the electronics, I'd rather it be done by pros.

Way too mushy, can't realistically play fighting games with it, and i much prefer d-pad to analog for those.

So far no controller has beaten the XBOne and later style of dpad with clicky switches underneath, for me.

I hope the d-pad is better than the steamdeck one, other than that I'm looking forward to it.

There is the horipad as an option, but I'm not sure if it's available outside Japan yet.

I got one last time I was there and it's pretty good, not perfect but it would fit the parameters you gave.

It wouldn't, playability is related to actual frames, generated frames don't take input.

Some of my faves in no particular order.

Co-op:

Terraria, Raft, It takes two, A Way Out, Conan exiles

Vs:

any fighting game you both enjoy, lethal league, nidhoggr, Windjammers 2

Disco Elysium, which plays really well on deck even with very low TDP, great for long lazy days.

It hasn't been. It's just as clunky as it's ever been.

Every console they release is so locked down you can't even install *their own os* on it, I think you're wrong.

For my money? It won't allow that without jailbreaking.
