Vita TV: Sony Finally Gets It

A super cheap ($99? YES PLEASE) micro console that plays PSOne, PSP, and PS Vita games on the TV, comes bundled with a DualShock 3, lets me access the Vita library for just $99?

A microconsole that not only has a better game library than Chromecast/Ouya/Apple TV/Roku, but also has media and social functionality (YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Twitter, Skype, Facebook)?

Holy shit yes, I want this.

Converting what was basically an overpriced failing handheld with no market interest into a cheap microconsole with the best library of games in its class? Sony gets it. This will save the Vita.

I think this will solve my problem I had... Now I will be able to play all the Vita games I've gotten from PS+ :) I will definitely be getting this when it comes out. i also like that it can stream PS4 games to another room. 

Not all Vita games will work on Vita TV.  Games such as Uncharted and Wipeout will only work on a PSV device.

Um don't you need the PS Vita console along side the PS Vita TV device? Or am I missing something?  Cause holy shit if I could just buy this micro console device and play PS Vita games off the PS Store right off the bat.  That would be amazing.

PSOne, PSP, and PS Vita games on the HDTV............??Good....very good.

The dualshock 3 bundle costs $150. Anyways, it'll be interesting to see how this does out here. It's not the best way to play Vita games, but its success only means I'll have even more stuff to play.

"best library of games" :lol: Now you can play your console multiplats on your TV! :lol:

But I digress, if I already didn't have a Vita, $100 is a good price to play the games.

I was tempted to get a Vita but I am gonna wait for this instead. It is a much more appealing device to me. I have tons of Vita/PSP games to play because of PS Plus and this would be perfect to put in a bedroom because of how small it is and the ability to stream PS4 games as well as watch netflix.

This will save the Vita.

honestly...this isnt even a vita to me anymore....its so different. they could have could it something completely different like playstation TV and i would not have said anything.

seems like a way to save face by still calling it a vita.

but Vita has dat OLED

 

Patching can fix some games (like SS that's already supported), but others just won't work. Tearaway is a good example, Technika as well:

Nope, no Vita needed.charizard1605

Finally, I can play Persona 4 Golden.

Wow, that's pretty impressive. For $95 if it ever comes to the US? I'm in :D

It deserves to be said, it could very well put the Vita front and center in gaming.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"]Nope, no Vita needed.nethernova

I get the feeling if Vita TV is successful, they'll have their excuse to phase the handheld out.

I'm definitely intrigued.

Why would they release a new slim version if they planned to phase the handheld version out?

If the Handheld continues to sale like crap while the TV actually proves successful, they found their out. I'm not saying they're quitting cold turkey, just that they found their out without outright abandoning it.

Honestly meh but I'd probably buy it over a regular Vita.

RIP Vita. Basically Sony killed their own handheld. What a waste of money it was to spend time developing the Vita, then they make this sh1t instead of fixing PS Vita's problems.

SDC.

But they haven't announced it over seas.... things over here can be more complicated..

For giving people the ability to play the games on the TV rather than only the handheld? the vita still exist and will continue.. this is just allowing people to play it on the TV if they don't wanna play it on the Vita... that's all... i don't know how to comment on your negative personality..

I have a Vita and I'm still going to buy this.  It sounds awesome to be able to play Vita games on my big screen.  Reminds me a lot of the Game Boy player for SNES, of course it's much more expensive than that but doesn't require a system to use it with.  Genius.

Will they still make the old vita model? I like the oled screen better

Eh it's good for what it is, I just wouldn't want it. Pay $50 more (I don't have a DS3) and I can get a regular PS Vita and have a handheld.
