Basically what I'm trying to do is make it think that I'm Remote Playing away from home... but that doesn't seem to be working

Danganronpa is one must-have.
Two. Two must haves.
Soul Sacrifice Delta.
I'd add Virtue's Last Reward as a must play. Should play 999 first though.
Also: Started playing Soul Sacrifice Delta today and boy I am enjoying the heck out of this game so far. All I expected was some fun gameplay - what I didn t expect though was great atmosphere, sweet soundtrack and surprisingly competent writing. Super enchanting package with lots of character. I really, really dig the worldbuilding SSD does in its lore section. Of the 6 hours I played so far I spent like over an hour just reading stuff about places, enemies and the history of the country. The game manages to piece together a vivid, rich and living world. Consider me shocked at how good this has been so far.
Game works flawlessly on PS TV and playing it with a Dualshock 4 is a pleasure.

The price is already dirt cheap, I wouldn't expect much below the $80 deals unless a store completely stopped stocking them or it went out of production. It's...really damn cheap.
That's something to blame SCEE, if the game is compatible with american systems.
lol? this a device that can't even let you stream netflix or have any real media apps in the UK, lets not forget the fact that I need to buy a controller for this as well as a bigger memory card as the 8GB will not cut in the long run.
I don't expect this thing to rock NPD sales, unless Sony can give us a rocket-bottom price for this thing. Otherwise it's a niche device for an already niche userbase.
A hundred bucks with a mem card and controller is rock bottom to me, but what do i know.
It's not a problem with the systems. It's a problem with SCEE, and their whitelist of regional games.

Nothing you've mentioned makes it any cheaper to produce or distribute. "I don't like it" doesn't magically lower real prices for electronics

Don't forget a free $20 game too - that $100 is a great bargain.
Edit: I guess the value pack isn't available in the UK...
Hi guys,
I am very tempted to buy this mostly for remote playing my PS4.
The issue I have is that the TV I want to hook it up does not have a HDMI port but an old DVI.
I saw there are some adapters online, but since DVI does not bring audio, my question is: does game sound goes thhrough the DS4 jack as it does on a normal PS4?
That would solve my problem, I do not mind using headphones for remote playing
Thank you.

It's a Vita, should be exactly the same in that regard. There's a few things it does differently of course but accounts isn't one of them
Did some quick digging around and came across this email someone got from XSEED in regards to Ys IV
"Unfortunately, as of right now there are no plans to release a patch to make the game compatible with PS TV due to scheduling conflicts with the development team. We continue to cross our fingers in hopes that the situation will change in the future, but we can't make any guarantees at this point."
Well that's dissapointing. I was so happy to finally play Ys with a controller on a TV that when it didn't work i was gutted. I figured a patch was coming but I guess not. Ah well, the next Ys game is on PS4 so i can play it there
Oh and a quick chat with Amazon UK turns how they do offer refunds with 30 days as long as you retain all the boxes components. Guess my Playstation TV is going back after a week of doing nothing on it!

ouch!
Thank you for answering. Looks like have to wait until I get a new tv in that room.
There are HDMI audio extractors which are relatively affordable - check a couple of pages back in this thread, there were links. One of those will let you pipe the audio to headphones or some powered speakers, and then you should be able to use a HDMI-DVI cable to connect to your monitor.

The studio that worked on it doesn't exist anymore, so probably not.
The Elite
BOSS
A coffee table unit?
Depending on how ambitious I get, I may mount it and make a clean, hidden, pop-up tv in a coffee table. Or, I may make a housing for it all and keep it as a portable, netbook size PSTV system.
(I want to remote play on the couch while the rest of the house uses the TV and the vita thumbsticks give me cramps after a while.)

As far as I know they all work. I play muramasa often and P4G is on my must buy list.
The developers are the ones that patch the games, and after that do the call to Sony so they can be whitelisted. However I wouldnt keep my expectations high with the prePSTV games made in japan :_(
In fact I'm importing Danganronppa 1 US version as I fear that EU PSTV patch doesnt happen at all...

Get an Xperia with DS4? Actually I think you can use the DS4 with the vita too, providing you're close enough to the PS4 to have the DS4 connected to it
Mine finally arrived today.
It's very much a "dead dove do not eat" moment, but it's like the thing is upscaled from 480p... I expected subnative games to look like that but even the system menu is blurred, and I'm playing on a 24' monitor.
In any case, it's enough for what I wanted: playing Toukiden and other stuff with a DS4. I'd probably sell it if Vita ever gets controller support, though.

AFAIK there is no black Japanese Vita TV.

This is probably a dumb question but, can I use a Vita to control games using a PS TV to negate the control compatibility issues?
That would make too much sense, so no.
Oh, I don't want it to be Japanese.
They haven't released any TV+Controller bundle in America/Europe?
Well the monitor won't help, assuming it is 1080p and PSTV is outputting at 720p it'll be badly upscaled. I thnk it looks ok on my 24" monitor, but obviously not ideal. Have you tried 1080i? In theory it should be better because it is a 2x multiple of the native resolution and matches the monitor resolution. The interlacing might kill it though.

That's very unfortunate, I have a vita and kind of blind bought this and sort of feel I might have got a paper weight. In reality I was kind of approaching it as a Vita game player and nothing more, so reading that so many games don't work has discouraged me quite a bit. I just wanted to play them on a big tv I guess.
Can that one play my European Vita games?

Yes. Even the Japanese ones can do that, Sony ditched region lock ages ago.
It'll look better on the 24" because stretching 544p to 1080p doesn't give great results, but it'll be less pronounced on the smaller screen.
Music Unlimited seriously isn't supported on Vita TV? WTF?
I subbed to it this week so I could have music in my living room, (Vita TV) den, (PS3) and office. (PS4) I got it going in my living room with remote play, but not having Music Unlimited on Vita TV seems like a huge oversight.
