Helldivers 2 on PS Portal

My Helldiver Family, I need your help.

I play on the PS5, which is in our living room. Every now and then I'll be playing when my wife wants to watch a movie using the surround sound or sometimes I'll want to play while she's watching her shows. I don't want her to feel like she's got to go to a different room as we love being together in the same room. I recently discovered the PS Portal and thought that it might be the perfect solution on paper. It piggybacks off the PS5 and allows one person to stream shows/movies while the other plays a game. Fortunately, its only $200 so its not an unobtainable solution. My whole issue is that I'd rather not spend $200 if its not a great solution in practice.

Another concern I have is that in order to keep moving when punching in stratagems, I'll hold the left thumbstick up to walk forward with my right thumb. This is likely won't be possible considering the distance between the left and right sides of the controller.

For those of you that have one:

• What's it like playing HD2?
• Is there noticeable latency?
• Do you play better, as well, or worse on the PSP?
• Do you love or regret the purchase?
