Will this allow me to play digital PS3 games without owning a PS3?
I'd be happy to use my Vita as a controller, just to play any game on the PS TV.
Only a moment ago i saw the Playstation Tv ad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i87unktx0Y
How much SCEA hates Vita? They don't even want to make Playstation Tv more appealing thanks to the ability to play PS1, PSP and PSVita games, but just as remote play device!
SCEA really wants to erase "Vita"(console + games) from people's minds leaving only the "Playstation Tv"(a remote play device that doesn't need games)
I'm wondering why SCEA hates Vita so much and why SCE doesn't punish SCEA for his mismanagement(SCEA's work is to promote Sony products in America, not to bury them).

Depends on PS Now.

It's just a short advert. You don't want to overload people with information during an ad. It doesn't mention PS Now either but PS Now isn't DOA.

They are pushing both features equally in my eyes. :/ The "1000s of games" available thanks to PSN are pretty alluring. But this is also just one ad. There'll probably be another when PS Now debuts.
PSNow is still in beta testing...

Thanks, staying way away from this thing.
That's actually an SCEE commercial, made evidenced by the "This is for the players" line at the end which is the European slogan.

At the end is written "Sony Computer Entertainment of America".
Well at least the resolution is there, but 30fps will still make it very different feeling on certain games. Thanks for info.
Great points, but since it's able to capture/encode at ~1080 just fine with the share button, I would think that it could do 1080i/60fps over a wired connection, maybe sacrificing the ability to record video clips when being used remotely.
I was just hoping for a spec bump going from VitaTV -> PlaystationTV, but I may just end up getting the white GTAV PS4 so my wife and I can LAN some Diablo 3: RoS.

£85 without a Dualshock 3 isn't exactly cheap and that price is even less attractive when you factor in the expensive memory cards. I think a future purchase for me will depend entirely on the availability and price of Playstation Now in the UK.

I want one, but I'm also curious on how good the marketing is, Sony has with the PS Vita TV. Obviously people want their television and this is good way to sell a product. I'm just curious on how they would market it over say their competition. I'd love to see the Vita sell more units because of this too. I'm just wondering about the market value here.
Anyone have any estimates or rough ideas?

Wow. No wonder they didn't add the "Vita" name on to it. Can't blame them.
That is way too many games and some of them I have.
Whenever I re-purchase a Vita, it will not be this for sure.
I'm really into off-tv anyways, I should not be buying the PS Vita TV just because of that too.
Look at the list Shinriji put up. Too many games not compatible. I think they did right by removing the name.

So can my Vita do what the Vita TV does with regards to PS4 streaming on another TV?
The vita tv not being able to stream at the original res and framerate is a bit of a bummer.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Do they make a device this cheap that works streaming PC games?
That's honestly what I really want. Bluetooth/wireless controller support and streamed from my PC.
Gimme that for $100.

Vita doesn't have TV output, so you can only stream the PS4 to your Vita screen using Remote Play. Vita TV basically is just Remote Play from one console to another.

Well...That is a complete bag of shit! Come on sony!?! lol
You can't expect to able to play Tearaway on anything but the Vita, can you? Have you ever seen how it works?

Thanks mate, didn't realise the Vita couldn't output to TV; I've always assumed one of those ports bristling all over the Vita was for TV-out

How come we still don't have a release date?!? I already preordered on Amazon, I'm so excited.
Yes, precisely. When they released a PSP (Go) that couldn't play all PSP games it didn't work out well at all. The Vita name would add nothing but confusion to this product.
Regardless, if they make a success out of selling a cheap console that can play Lego games, Minecraft, Disney Infinity and the like, it would benefit the Vita as well. As far as developers are concerned it is the same platform and that's what matters in the end.
From that list, I'd link stuff that could work well with a few tweaks. Games I've played, obviously.
SONY
- Uncharted: Golden Abyss: Touchscreen controls could be changed for the traditional R2 (reloading) and L2 (grenades). The other touchscreen features are rubbing stuff and all that.
- Wipeout 2048: I think touch screen controls were just limited to menus.
- Unit 13: As far as I remember, touchscreen for menus, jumping and some situational stuff. Could be easily changed.
- Sly 4: It's on PS3. I haven't played it yet. But I don't think it'd be hard to copy-paste the control scheme there, right
- Playstation Battle Royale: Same as Sly.
- Destiny of Spirits: Could work. It won't be that hard IMO.
SEGA
- Sonic All Star Racing Transformed: Same as Wipeout. I don't remember touchscreen controls during races.
EA (PS3 versions of all of those games. It won't be that hard to change the control scheme)
- Need for Speed:
- Fifa Soccer
- Fifa 13
- Fifa 14
- Madden 13
KOEI TECMO
- Dynasty Warriors NEXT: It could work if they put some effort into it. They won't. Just buy DW8, SW4 or WO3U
- Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (more homeconsole ports)
UBISOFT
- Rayman Legends: It'd be harder. Touchscreen levels everywhere. Fuck them though.
COMPILE HEARTS: Gotta rub stuff guys. It's not the same on the PlayStation TV. It'd be weird to just rub a black thing
DS4
- Monster Monpiece
- Moero Chronicles
PS: After a while I got tired of putting "there is a PS3 version so why not?" thing. So I deleted ports / multiplats after EA XD

The biggest problem with the PSP Go was that it had an $80 premium tacked onto the price as a bribe to retailers, not that it couldn't play every game.

What a pathetic list. I could see myself getting one someday to replay P4G on a bigger tv but this thing seems destined to fail.

That's a huge list. I guess I'm not getting one after all. Gaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Can't catch a freaking break.
Ugh, there goes my enthusiasm. I would expect things like Tearaway not to work, but out of my 51 retail games almost nothing will work. I was looking more for "big-screen Vita" than "tiny PS4". Oh well, will probably grab one just for the hell of it.

Natively. It is a Vita.

Thank you so much.
The list is pretty huge, bigger than expected and includes games that really interest me.
I thought that PsTV was almost totally compatible with avita games
might dig in then if I can find one cheap. There is a bunch of VITA games I'm interested in. Only thing that held me back from getting one, is the missing VIDEO OUT. CBA about playing on a small screen when I have a fucking 40" tv right in front of me.
Anyone?
Couldn't you get an Ethernet powerline adapter instead of using another router?
Now your whole house is running on your powerline directly/wired instead of WIFI.

Here's the PS TV announcement video. It shows the guy in the video playing Killzone Mercanary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGKaOSOnwvQ
I didn't know such a thing existed...wow. You sir have changed my life.
I just had the second router lying around. That's why I'm set up they way I am!
