So guys, I'm thinking about getting myself a Vita TV in the near future. I've got a couple of questions though.

Does anyone here have any experience with that thing? If so, how's the DS3 doing at controlling the Vita menu/games? Does it work for any touchscreen stuff at all? Is there a list of (in)compatible titles for it?
I also heard that there is some region locking kinda thing going on. Does that affect any of the games or is it about the PSN account connected to the system?
And lastly, do you think there's a chance of the system coming over to Europe/America? Should I wait for an announcement?

There is a list of compatible titles (check out the wiki page "ps vita games list"), but in general every game that extensively uses touchscreen is not supported.

The console itself is not region locked, BUT you can only currently use Japanese PSN account with it. 

I think the console will come west this year. To be honest IMO the console is not worth importing since you wont be able to use your PSN account and all your digital titles.

Thanks, sounds all good to me. Though I guess I will wait till post E3 (at least) and see what happens. Not importing is always the better option if it's possible.

Thing is, the PSN account thingy isn't really a problem to me. I own a grand total of 5 Vita compatible digital games, 3 of which work on my PSP and PS3 (Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX, of which I own VII and VIII for the original PlayStation (and I'm planning to buy IX soon, too)) and 2 indie games I purchased for bit more than 5 bucks (Spelunky and Hotline Miami) which also work on my PS3. I'd rather take that lock as an opportunity to get a Japanese account. Might be some interesting stuff on that PSN store.
