Forums - Sony - PS Vita TV is just excellent

Gaming wise I really don´t see any reason. Why buy a PSV that isn´t portable? Wasn´t the purpose of the PSV to play console like games on the go?  And recently to use it as an offscreen accessory for PS4? Since most are multiplats that are also available on PS3 why would anyone buy an inferior version instead? Also PS1 games are also available on PS3s PSN and PS3 has the far more PS2 HD collections.

The biggest problem to me is that it basically just is a handheld mutated to a console that still has the huge problem of overpriced memcards if you take them into account you could just buy a PS3 with a decent harddrive instead.

The biggest thing for me is if I get a PS4.  I often buy multiple consoles to play in different rooms of the house.  With that doohickey, I could play my PS4 in the game room and the living room!  Not a bad deal from where I sit.  I already have a Vita so I wouldn't really use it for that.  I like my Vita games on the handheld.

I think there are cheaper ways to achieve that. But that´s another matter, I´m more talking from the perspective of software library and for it´s own merits as a gaming system. PSTVVita  is basically just another console, that is basically PS3 with worse graphics+library and with huge problems in the storage department, those memcards are insanely expensive and have a really low capacity. Even the newly announced 64GB memcard isn´t exactly alot and you have to basically shell out the same amount of money as PSTVVita (10.000yen).



so you can play PS3 ports on a PSVita on a TV? :P



Excellent, perhaps. But also somewhat defeatist.

Its only 99 dollars, plays PS1 PSP PSVita games and can stream music and video. But the biggest feature is being able to stream PS4 games to another tv and play them with your Dualshock 4. This is pretty big and I can now play PS4 games in my small tv somewhere else without buying a 2nd console

My only worry is the resolution though!

 

It won't play all PSV games and the controller that comes with it for $150 doesn't support PS4 games.

it still needs a memory card. which is the stupidest thing ever, they should have gave it 512MB or 1GB built in memory


Because that will be big enough to hold every single game right?

it would be enough for game saves. (im assuming the game does take game cards right?)
