Lol...no, it's not sad for me. It's sad for Sony. I'm the consumer. They have to convince me to buy it, not vice versa.


Same here.  I own a VITA.  I own a PSP.  I have the games and have access to the games.  But I would have been willing to pay 100 bucks to be able to play those games on a bigger TV.  But when the device is gimped from the start, it looks like Sony isn't even trying. Like this thing is just a cash grab.

Well:

 

The PSP has TV out and full PSP compatibility, and digital PSX compatibility.

 

The PSP GO has full screen TV out, and supports a PS3 controller, but is only compatible with digital games.

The original PSP does not have that.  Which is what I have.

PSP TV output wasn't great tbh, from what I remember with my PSP Go (the only PSP I actually liked) it outputted at the native resolution, as a small window on your TV. Though on the plus side, if it was purchased on a PSP Go, you already own it on Vita TV :p

They do seem to be patching most of the main Vita titles for PSTV. I'm curious to see how some of the Vita stuff will hold up on a large TV.I suspect it'll feel as pixelicious as 3DS games do on an XL.

Yes but then again did anyone expect this to do anything spectacular?

Baby Steps but Spelunky got updated:

PS Vita:

Leadboard replays (including fast forward feature)
Friend ghosts in Daily Challenge
Four-player PSTV support
Misc. fixes

Nice to see single system multiplayer is possible on PSTV.
