Yeah the shit is pretty broken for the CC and well 100% wrong lol. Wonder why even add a feature that doesnt even function correctly. Then again seeing how Youtube has been going lately am not surprised.

anyone ever figure out what those on NicoNico use? The one that was modded to use Vocaloids voice set? As I remember it worked pretty well, at least for English.
 
cute girl



I want this more than I want a PS4, does it have DS4 support? I want to buy a Vita TV + DS4 and play some Ys: Memories of Celceta.

It's so weird how there are different languages. Like...she's just talking away a thousand miles a minute and I just can't understand a single word. I wonder why that is. I feel like it would be easier if we could just come up with one language so I can understand everything.

Is GAF pretending they don't know how commercials work? the exaggeration is part of the video. we are all talking about it, so SONY achieved their goal.

SONY is coming up with some good ideas lately. will be a good year for hem.

I'd very much like the possibility play media from my nas. I don't think Sony likes dlna that much anymore though.. Subscriptions and streaming services is where it's at..

Maybe Sony got confused. Somebody said "it would be good to stream video for my NAS, ne?" And Sony implemented streaming from nasne.





I'll get my coat.

North American accounts access the North American Playstation Store. If the Vita TV is exactly like the Vita, then there should be no problem with using an American account.

The Vita TV is not exactly like the Vita, it's only compatible with some of its games. They'll probably offer its own storefront that only sells compatible games.

Good idea earlier about building this tech into their televisions.

If gaikai becomes successful, I can see a sony tv and a subscription being a real one-stop gaming shop... So to speak.

Will have to see about that, since no idea if Sony added on there a separate firmware for the VITA TV that blocks the NA store access.

So wouldnt go getting folks hope up till the product is out in the wild and someone tests it for sure.

Yes, that could be true too. I hope we find out about anything like this before it comes out.

That said, Sony has never done anything like that before. I've never had a problem running an American account on any of the Japanese hardware I've purchased from them, either. It doesn't really make much sense to block accounts from being used.

The Vita TV is not exactly like the Vita, it's only compatible with some of its games. They'll probably offer its own storefront that only sells compatible games.

It's the other way around- some games are not compatible with the PS3 controller, and that's only because of the lack of a touchpad- that doesn't mean they wouldn't still actually run though.

I doubt they are going to change up much of anything, and if they do, that's only on the store- again, not related to the account being used. But this is all assumption. We don't know how it's all going to work yet. If you go by the video in this thread, there's no difference in the interface.

Vita TV and Vita have a different list of compatible games. Here's the list for Japan.

It's not about blocking you from anything. The Playstation Store app will try to find the storefront for the VTE (rather than PCH) device and the region of your PSN account, and it simply won't find one unless SCEA and SCEE set it up months in advance... they didn't do it with the Vita, btw.

Yeah, this is what I'm expecting to happen. Still, I'm preordering it and will get it this month as my Japanese account Vita TV. Nice little convenience for PS1 japan-exclusives. I'll definitely get a NA unit for those RPGs like Persona and Celceta. I'm just hoping I can link it to my Japanese PSN and then use NA carts like Persona Golden. That would be most ideal.

Im just generally saying that its better to not get folks hopes up, since all we know is that its a unit thats designed for the Japanese market currently. Dont want other GAF users assuming that it will work, buy it before hand only to find out it doesnt.

Its not that far off anyways, so a bit more of a wait isnt going to kill anyone.

Still want some confirmation on how the PSN account registration and numbers allowed will work with the PSV TV. There was this older article that talked about the subject but am not sure if things have been updated since.

At the moment you can register only two PS Vita units to your PSN account, and this has caused concern between Japanese users with the announcement of the PS Vita TV and the new PCH-2000 model. With three models available, and maybe some wanting to have multiple Vita TV units attached to multiple TVs to take advantage of remote play from the PS4, the current limit may prove a little restrictive.
Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and Asia Senior Vice President Hiroshi Ueda told 4Gamer in an interview that the limit is indeed there, but concerned customers won’t be ignored.
Currently for each PSN account you can register up to two PS Vita. This means that if you already have two PS Vita one must be removed to register a PS Vita TV. We were surprised by the fact that this caused concern between customers.

Although this policy cannot be changed easily, after we heard the concerns I believe we should not ignore them. Strengthening communication with customers properly, we want to avoid situations that cause inconvenience after a purchase.

Now that the voice of the customers has reached us, we’ll move according to our policies to improve the elements that can be changed.

Sony Computer Entertainment has been very responsive, lately, in changing policies that caused concern between customers, so we’ll see what they’ll do to in order to patch this situation. Considering the low price of the PS Vita TV, I can definitely see how some gamers with disposable income may want to get more than one in order to be able to play their PS4 games on multiple TVs in different rooms.
Hell, I have a friend with a TV in his bathroom. Bet you he’ll want a PS Vita TV there. He’s that kind of dude.

Someone who normally "tweets" with Mr. Yoshida, should ask him about that seriously.

Still really want one of these purely for remote play. Bit apprehensive about importing though. Hope it's out here soon

So, just to clarify, if I have a Vita and a Vita TV, I can use the Vita as a controller and have the game display on the TV, correct? And that shouldn't lead to any compatibility issues.

I don't think they've shown that yet. Just the Dualshock 3...with DS4 support forthcoming.

Why would you want to use the Vita as a controller?

Parakeetman, the Vita TV is coming to more regions than just Japan. It's not going to be restricted to just Japanese accounts- Asia is also getting it.

To play Vita games on TV directly from a Vita, eliminating the controller issues and a need to transfer save data, presumably.

I don't understand why Sony doesn't seem to be doing this.

Gotcha. At least it is wireless. Playing PSP on the TV with the tethered PSPs is one of the worst experiences a gamer can have...thankfully fixed with the Go. Personally, I'd much rather use a DS, though. If they allow Vita for touch stuff for certain game it would be kinda neat...Wii U-ish. But having a double image (like Wii U) is incredibly annoying.

Vita does have Sony's best D-pad, which is a plus.

I actually have no patience for the latter release in the US, but I can't read Japanese... I don't suppose that English language is selectable on setup for this thing?

God damn it! My frothing demand increases.

English language was available upon setup on Japanese Vitas during launch in 2011. Unless they really don't plan on releasing this abroad I don't see why that would change.

PS firmwares are usually the same for all regions, so it's very likely.

Oh damn, and the Vita is region free. This might become the first system I ever import. Thanks for the info!

Not only that, but I imported one at release and can confirm that my U.S. account worked on it, even though there was no store to access at that time.

Primary reason for me is that I like my portables to have a TV out. If I can use the Vita as a controller, then I don't have to worry about any games not working and stuff like that, but I get the benefit of being able to play on a way bigger screen.
