Sony PlayStation TV

...

 

Sony is the only company that could kill their own ****ing handheld

 

Will still have 1 up on Microsoft :D

 

I think this is awesome. Streaming boxes are a big business right now (my house has like three Rokus) and one that has such a huge library of games and streaming features is an easy sell for me at $150+. If one of my Rokus ever breaks down I'll definitely be picking this up.

 

This sounds awesome. A cheap way to play Vita games/PSP games on my TV? I'm okay with that

 

I'm probably not gonna pick it up soon, but the PS Vita TV is definitely going on the to buy list. With the entire library of Vita games (and the PSP and PS1 ones) plus the remote play with the PS4 for just $100 is a pretty sweet deal. I didn't really care about the Vita too much, but this new model swayed pretty much sold the deal.

 

What are all the differences between the newer Vita and the current one? Like, what's the old version have in terms of memory?

huh, being able to play Vita games on a TV. that' s pretty awesome! i would totally get one

though it seems a little weird for Sony to release that $100 Vita TV. doesn't that kind of make the actual handheld less attractive? well it does for me, can't really speak for anyone else.

 

I would still consider buying the handheld ( thus completing the PS4/Vita/Vita TV triumvirate c: ) simply because it's a handheld--I could use it on the go. That's its major and lasting appeal, I think. With the recent price cut and the PS4's remote play features, it's still a really solid system.

 

There's also the fact that the TV version can't play any games that require the touch screen

 

Now that I saw it with caution.. there are my opinions

Spoiler: ps vita slim

Great ideia, even if it loses some graphic quality (that is too great at vita, but at a small screen size), LCD is more resistent than OLED, so the handled will endure more than our vitas.. it's micro USB cable probably mean that it will work with any smartphone charger! Not to mention it's internal memory of 1 G! My first 2 weeks with my Ps vita were useless.. I couldn't download any game from the PSN, I could not even use my skype! Only when my memory card was here I could enjoy my vita to full extention, so It will great to have a functional vita since day one!

Spoiler: PS VITA TV:

1)Can play Psp/vita/1 games at any tv!

2) If you have a Ps4 you don't need to take your console from your house NEVER! Psvita tv will stream your games to any tv with internet (Just like vita!)

3) it will cost $100 so it will be even more affordable than the 2DS!
4) There is no need to buy vita anymore ç.ç

I Think that if they try to sell it as a cheaper version of the vita it is ok! (is like half price) But only if sony makes a UPGRADE at vita and make it work like Vita tv (even if only by wifi). If you notice Ps vita has "everything" that is necessary to make it work as Ps vita TV, it has the REMOTE PLAY, and Bluetooth (for controlers).. if they make a firmwere upgrade on vita and let us play like this (hell Psp conected with the tv without need of a console on it), I will know that I can play my Ps4 at any place in the world with internet ...

Not sure with you guys noticed, but even though the Psvita tv comes with a dualshock3 bundle they also use D4 with it, probably that would be able to use the touchpad as the "touchable screen"

 

You've seen the 2DS, right?

All I can say is this is basically a way better Ouya, which is a smart move for Sony. Think they shouldn't have necessarily marketed it as a Vita console since this may be a substitute for the handheld for some consumers, better yet they should've marketed as Playstation TV or something. Still it'll probs do very well, and I don't mind it

 

Yeah I thought that weird, especially because they trademarked Playstation TV not long ago.

 

Playstation tv is that Tv that has 3D glasses that shows different images to Player 1 and Player 2.

I was thinking about the potential about Ps vita tv.. Vita classic is more expensive , so I think there is space for them both (if sony makes the upgrade at Ps vita)... if you think in it as a handled is the cheapest one being cheaper than the 2DS, and several times more powerfull..

So Vita tv will have some slice of the market of cheap handleds, but it will also have the slice of the "Cheapest HOME CONSOLE!".

How can you feel nex gen for $100 ? Sure that if you don't own a Ps4 you won't be able to play all Ps4 games in it (Because you need a Ps4 to stream for you). But vita games are interesting (and some exclusive, and probably more will be made) so it will be a "nex gen experience, with next gen titles at your tv"..

They could just make the classic vita a SUPER VITA TV (enabling it with the same functions as vita tv with the advantage of your own screen, with the catch of not being as cheap as PS vita tv)

I guess everything libre said makes sense.. I am a little less worried about my Vita then.. but I would love if they upgraded it so it could do the same things as Ps vita tv, as the hardwere for such is in it already.
Because I would LOVE to travel with my "Ps4 in hand" but also be able to play in a different tv , with my friends from another town without the need to travel with the Ps4 itself. But not as much as it would hurt me to buy another ps vita system when I already have one.
