Well, I finally got my PSTV set up this past weekend in which it came in the mail the Monday before. This isn't s review of the TV itself but moreso its application in my life.
I bought the PSTV w/ DS3, LEGO Movie game voucher, and 8 GB card bundle for just under $73 USD. Why PSTV? I'm an ATLUS more specifically a Persona fan. So when I heard of the ability to play VITA games on a TV, I was hard pressed to not look into the possibility of playing Persona 4 Golden via PSTV. Now, get this... I own the original Persona 4 for the PS2. Never got around to playing it. Then I bought Persona 4 Golden just to have to collect the game. Then less than a year ago, I bought a PS VITA instead of waiting for a PSTV because of the lack of VITA support. But now that I'm in my new house with a new HDTV, coming across the $69 PSTV bundle was something I had to jump on especially after missing out on the $50 Amazon deal. And let me say thatPerson 4 Golden never looked better on my 60" Sony LED (KDL60W630B). It's finally time to enjoy this RPG before the release of Persona 5.
I'm an old school Final Fantasy fan. And if there were a Final Fantasy we old schoolers missed out on here in North America was FFIII (Japan) for obvious reasons until recently. Aside from the DS version, playing FFIII PSP version on a 60" with a Dual Shock 3 downloaded to the PSTV is the most comfortable way to enjoy this game.
And then there are the two PSP Corpse Parties. I love survival horror, and as you can tell from the last paragraph I love old school RPGs. Corpse Party is a good hybrid of both. So like FFIII, playing the corpse parties with a Dual Shock 3 on a 60" HDTV with the lights out is quite emmersive.
I'll be the first to acknowledge that the PSTV overall is a failed product. But so far, It's been worth my gamble.
