I disagree. It has a much more limited library of games that were never meant to be displayed on a HDTV. You still spend $140 or so for the system and a tiny memory card. Why not spend a little more and get way more features, games, and hardware power?

I still don't understand why I can play ps4 games on a vita but I can't play vita games on a ps4.
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
pretty neat that they're bringing it over.
would be nice as a portable console to hook up when you travel around, i suppose. cheap enough to be that, for sure.
i dont think i have a use for it at the moment, though.

The Playstation TV will have a vita game card slot like the Vita TV (JP), right?

Well, the Japanese version of DR1+2 works, so there's no reason it couldn't...

I'll be grabbing one for the bedroom, remote play from the PS4 on a big screen is preferable to the Vita.

Finally confirmed. hopefully the PSTV can pull decent numbers, anything to improve overall Vita sales is a good thing (yes it's a vita still).

So, how much does the memory card cost for this cheap, all in one little package...?
Day 1 buy. Might wait to play some of the RPGs I bought on it and are on my back log (Conception 2, Demon Gaze, Mind Zero) until it comes out. If they work on it anyways.
Hopefully there's a good Black Friday sale on Vita Memory Cards again this year. Or can I just swap my Vita's current card into it and back easily?

Well, one thing is that it makes more sense to launch a product like this in the west than the hilarious decision to launch this thing in Japan.
But I think it's going to be an extreme niche product, despite them trying to distance it from the Vita brand and everything. It's obviously nice for some hardcore fans to get the chance to play some of their favorite games on a larger screen. But at the end of the day it's a Vita that's not portable, that does not even support the entire Vita library, and that you need an extra (DS3) controller to play.
It would've made much more sense to just make a remodeled Vita with HDMI out, in my opinion.

Good call, why confuse customers? This is a completey different product to Vita.

Thank god the Puzzle by Nikoli series is available. Surely they'll add more compatible games once it's available in NA. What would make a Vita game not compatible with Vita TV?

Is it DS4 compatible yet? I'll probably buy it when it is

i hope this is region free unlike the jp vita tv. half my libray on vita is imports.

Yes, Vita update 3.10 added DS4 support for Vita TV
The jp vita tv isn't region locked technically. They just don't allow us/eu accounts because it was never released there. It comes up with an error saying the vita tv store isn't available or something. Same for any games that didn't work, the patches were never done for them because it wasn't released there. Thus I can't see the western version being region locked either.

They really don't give a fuck. It's a port of the 3DS game.

Why do you say it definitely will not? Dangan Ronpa was one of the games I DEFINITELY remember they said will work on Vita Tv when it first was announced in Japan soo...
Did Vita molested some SCEA boss' son? Man SCEA seems to really hate Vita, but at the same time it's incredibly stupid too!
The "Playstation TV" name is the worst thing ever not only as a great lover of Vita, if you want to ditch "Vita" than replace it with a fitting name, honestly if you didn't know about Vita Tv what would you think a "Playstation Tv" is? A PS1 console? A Playstation branded Tv receiver? "Tv" alone is utterly stupid because as a home console the tv is already implicit, "Tv" made sense in "Vita Tv" because Vita is a handheld.

hopefully i can then log in to my japanese VitaTV with my european account :E plz sony.
Yeah, but people know what playstation is, they probably won't know what a vita is. I also don't think they'll be marketing it as a way to play vita games. More likely to push it as a streaming device for ps4 multi room and PS now which does have the option to play some vita games on the side.
I know, but don't you think that all those things would be more effective with a better name? "Playstation Tv" is just confusing, Sony will need half of the very few advertising to explain what it is and the result will probably be not that better than what Nintendo gained adding a "U" to "Wii".
Something like "Playstation Universe/Legacy/Media/All In One/Whatever Hub" or something similar would have been a lot better.

I think the PS Camera being such a insane seller for the PS4 at least gives Sony hope that the Vita TV would help boost sales by piggybacking on the PS4.
Then they can use the leverage of extra Vita TVs sold to convince more devs to put games on it, like they already did with Disney Infinity 2. Disney Infinity 2, Minecraft and a few other indie games would be pretty much a perfect christmas gift if SCEA advertised it right.
