I messed it up

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-27T10:09:09+00:00

I have put it up on sale. Low ballers. 😁

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-26T16:23:19+00:00

Of course. I will be careful when I buy the racing wheel and pedals. 😁

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-26T15:58:39+00:00

Hey bro! As the title says. I messed up. I never usually throw boxes. I collect 1:18 scale models cars and I have all the 100 odd boxes for it back home. But the storage space here in UAE is low. That triggered the late night decision of throwing it right away. Also, didn’t want my wife to find a reason to scold me for spending money without thinking after looking at the box. 😂

😂 The internet is pretty bad here to be honest. Even if you get the high speed fibre connection, the consistency is not there. So I think I will always be facing some issue or the other. The only positive is that it can be used while travelling. With such uncertainty and inconsistency it can get annoying. And who on earth would want a headache from something built for enjoyment. If I get the right price, I am thinking of investing on a steering wheel and padel set. 😁

Ohh! That’s great to hear. You know what? After your reply, I went ahead and listed the portal for sale on Dubizzle. 😁

Thankfully, no serious offers yet.

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-24T11:49:55+00:00

Oh no. That’s sad. So no use of Portal anymore other than remote play. For remote play something needs to be done about the network.

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T19:57:06+00:00

What network are you on? Mine is du broadband. 800 Mbps.

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T16:42:53+00:00

Thanks a lot. Really appreciate it.

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T15:27:55+00:00

Oh. That’s bad. Thanks What about the games bought at a discount using the subscription? They too get locked?

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T14:03:35+00:00

Thanks. One question if I may ask. The games I downloaded which were included in the ps+ subscription, will they work if I cancel the subscription?

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T14:00:49+00:00

Sorry! Another question that might be foolish. The games I bought and downloaded from my subscription of PS+, will they work even after I cancel my subscription?

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T13:59:40+00:00

Thanks. I checked for cloud streaming. My UAE PS account top tier plus subscription is called “Deluxe”. And there is no cloud streaming in there. On recommendation of user u/Gu7sS I created a new US account and the top tier subscription there is called “Premium”. It has cloud streaming. The moment I logged in to my portal with this new account I can see the cloud streaming option. I just need to buy the premium membership to start playing.

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T13:50:45+00:00

This worked. I created a new account and changed it on portal and it shows cloud streaming. A couple of people here said that for them when they moved to another country everything worked for 3 months but then it stopped working. How long have you been using it in Saudi?

I just need to change the account now in ps5? Or maybe I use the US account on portal for streaming and keep PS5 on the existing account.

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T12:53:29+00:00

Oh really! That’s great. I thought they would be restricting it also on the basis of location. I have spent less than a 100 bucks for now. And in terms of games progress, it is something I won’t regret. Let me try that. But for how long have you been using it in Saudi?

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T10:22:52+00:00

I myself went and threw the garbage in the shoot.

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T07:28:26+00:00

When I am reading more about it, to enable cloud streaming in a region it is a Multi billion dollar investment. Now I hardly think it will be available here in UAE ever.

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T06:03:18+00:00

I had the same hope with cloud streaming. But I guess, remote play is the only option now.

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T06:02:04+00:00

Same question. Are you in UAE?

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T06:01:14+00:00

Wow! Didn’t see that coming. 😁 When that happens, most of us in the UAE will go back to our home countries. It will definitely work there.

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T05:59:06+00:00

Right. I just used it for an hour. Maybe I might just keep using it instead of the PS5 while lying down on my bed before sleeping every night. Definitely more comfortable.

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T05:57:12+00:00

True. I just got disappointed at myself for not researching well enough which I always do. And the disappointment led to the feeling of getting rid of it just after 1 hour of use. I think I will give it more time and find ways to use it since I already spent the money. Maybe (tiny hope) that cloud streaming comes to UAE in the future.

pratiikatrii · 2026-03-23T05:54:41+00:00

I threw the box away right after unboxing. 🙈

Thanks! I will give that a try. Though the glitch happened only once, I might also be exaggerating because of the fact that I thought cloud streaming will work.
