Only works if you bought a PS4.
Doesn't even work in that case either. Just tried.

Word?
I guess that makes sense.
Will edit my post, if you don't mind could you kill the quote so people don't mistakenly try to use the code?

did they email you a code?
the code is one use. My code is different than the one posted. Also, the deal is only for those who purchased a PS4 from Amazon.

Then please, what resolution is street fighter alpha 3 on the PSP? Because that's what he's asking about.

Did not get an email and I bought a launch PS4. I hope I get one soon, otherwise angry email to Amazon...
Yeah, same boat here. No code even though I have a launch PS4 from them. I hope it's just a matter of them sending them out in waves.

It has an ethernet port ¯\_(ツ_/¯
Well it also has the same wifi card as the Vita 1000. RemotePlay works great via ad-hoc (connects directly to PS4) if you are in the same room or in a modern house with drywall and not plaster walls. Internet Wi-Fi works fairly well if you have a good upload speed at home, but for me local Wi-Fi RemotePlay stinks whenever someone else is using a device on Wi-Fi, even just browsing the web. 2.4ghz Wireless-N is barely enough by itself for 960x540. Without being wired locally I can't see how 1280x720 RemotePlay could work.

I want some impressions on how well this thing will work as a theoretical second console in my house. I guess it will be similar to remote play
Bit worried as to why Uncharted and Gravity Rush did not work.
Was this just an issue that has since been fixed?
Games that require touch will most likely never work unless someone adds in alternate controls.
Blimey, that is going to result in a lot of non-compatible games then.
That's a major hiccup for me. I was really looking forward to streaming a few Vita games and Uncharted and Gravity Rush were top of my list.

Given that they're patching KZ:Mercenary to work with a controller, they may do the same with Gravity Rush (which only has a couple of things that use the touch screen that could easily be remapped to other buttons) and Uncharted (which would arguably be massively improved by the removal of the touch gimmicks.)

I hope that patch for Mercenary is out by the time the PSTV is released. It is the only Vita game I can see myself playing on the PSTV. Otherwise it would just be PSP, PSOne, Netflix, and RemotePlay.
Though, I can see DualShock 4 users having a big advantage over those playing directly on the Vita.

So based on what you guys are saying, is this note on kotaku about being able to play some touch screen focused games wrong because it seems pretty specific.

Granted of course a patch is necessary, but based on this isn't it possible, though unlikely, that there could be a patch that makes Golden Abyss and the like compatible in the future?
For Gravity Daze in particular I wonder if there is a way to substitute the gyroscope with the Sixaxis within the DS3.
These are all just wishes at this point anyway,

That is a great find, amazing video there. Thank you.
That is actually a very, very good point.
Could they not simply make the DS4 compatible with Vita TV and problem solved?
Mind you, there are still those awful 'hold the vita up to the light' sections...

Also couldn't the PlayStation Eye (ps3 ver.) be used in some way to play games like Tearaway?
The DualShock 4 does not have both sides of a touch screen. Then there's how compatible the gyro is.
Games need to be patched to support either the virtual touch screen using the DS3, or patched to support DS4, or patched to remove touch screen necessity. Really seems to just be on a game-by-game patch-by-patch basis.

The DS4 is compatible with the PS Vita TV. How else would PS4 games be streamable to it?

You still need the game to be patched. If the developer has already moved on, then it's unlikely to see anything.

Does this have full access to PSN games as well?
It should theoretically work with any PS1/PSP games, but I'm not sure what the situation is with the US is and the strange transferring restrictions they have. After Sony fixed the glitch, I'm not sure what the situation is.

False, and stop putting that out of context. People were not talking about Japanese market. They were talking about the global market. Everyone knows that Japan is a portable and especially mobile gaming nation.
Nope. It's a one time use code. It can be given away too. Codes were different. Mine started with 5B84...
It was given to people that (apparently) got a PS4.
"Apparently" because I got a code and I got my PS4 from Gamestop during launch weekend.
...I did had one preordered on Amazon but cancelled it.Done.
was hoping for this to be in the 60-80 dollar range. 100 is just outside what I value this at, considering I already have a Vita.BruceLeeRoy

That was great but I mean w/ the PS4 I assume it will be similar

Have they announced a launch date yet for this?
No, not yet. Not even a release window.

Considering this is a home console, can we actually have multiple accounts on the damned thing?

Yup I want one. As long as PS4 streaming works well. I look forward to checking out some of the classic RPG's I never played on PS1 let alone all the great ones out for psp.

It should be pretty obvious as to why they dont work.

Nope, a kind member in here gave me theirs and it worked fine for me. I also had my ps4 preordered from day 1 through amazon if that makes a difference.
This has probably been answered at some point, but will this support physical Vita games? I know the Japan model did, but the rebranding of it for the west and the pictures I've seen make it look like that feature has been cut. Nearly all of mine are physical, and it would be a real deal breaker if I couldn't play those.
EDIT: Apparently I missed the announcement video. It clearly shows a slot for physical Vita games. YESSSSSSSS, I'm buying this day one.

The video posted here displays "Fall 2014" so that's about as close as we've gotten to a release window.
This is..interesting. Not sure it'd be practical wi any games needing fast reactions - eg a touch screen grenade button or something, but it's a start.
I think you could adapt that to the DS4 touch pad for better results. Put your finger anywhere on the touchpad for a cursor on the vita front screen, click to press. Hold down eg L2 as a modifier to do the same for rear touch.
I actually liked gyro aiming, charcoal rubbing and touch screen grenade throwing
Gravity Rush relies on gyros, but you can move the camera while flying with the right stick. They can just put evade on the circle button and throwing stuff on L2/R2.

I assume it might be out around October/November since they say it'll be out by the holidays iirc.
Anyone have any experience with the Asian hardware (Vita TV)? I was trying to get some info on how party chat will be handled and the only thing I can find is that you can use Bluetooth headsets for chat. Does anyone know if wired headsets are compatible when using a DS4 like how it's used on the PS4?
