Has anyone tried to use this to forward PS4 video streaming services? Currently only use a Chromecast in my bedroom, if this can handle Amazon On Demand and Vudu from the PS4 in worthwhile quality it would be a done deal as I've already got a sizeable PSV, PSP, and PS1 digital library.

I believe it works like standard remote play, which does not work with video services like Amazon or Netflix

And there's no Vudu app, pretty sure there's no Amazon app either. The Netflix app is still the same slow interface that was on the system when the Vita launched. Crunchyroll works pretty well. Probably PSN video too but I never use it.

Edit: oops, Drek already has a Vita so knows all about the media app situation. Pretend this is just a general word of caution for people interested in it for media.

Awesome, though I don't see too much of a reason to import now, unless you're impatient or like the White colored box.

]Its the best handheld FPS game to be released so far.[/B] Quick missions, decent enough controls (only made terrible by the woeful Vita analogue sticks) as well and the multiplayer actually being kinda fun. COD and Uncharted were the two games I was looking forward to most as the handicap of the shit vita sticks will be removed, looks like only one of them will work.

Killzone: Mercenary begs to differ.

EDIT: Double post, sorry.

It needs marketing even more. It could have a million playable titles and the best version of Call of Duty on the planet and it's still wouldn't sell worth a damn, because no one knows it exists.

It is weird that there's been little marketing, but I guess that's for a couple of reasons. First, lowering sales expectations, kind of like Apple did with Apple TV by referring to it as a hobby for years.

Second, I think they may have planned -- and possibly still do plan -- to frame it to many people as a kind-of-sort-of $99 PS3 once PS Now is out of beta. I know my sister was looking for a second-TV gaming console and Netflix device for her family, and that'd fit the bill for her.

Like a lot of others here, I'm getting it to play a couple of Vita games on a bigger screen, but I have a feeling we're the edge cases, and not the people Sony will be targeting, ultimately.

Looking at its official info site, it looks like Sony feels that way, too. Vita isn't mentioned anywhere on the page. Instead, Sony says the device plays "hundreds of PlayStation games." They're also pushing the remote play capabilities, but those aren't as prominent.

That informational site is still so lean on content. Amazing that they still don't have any official word on streaming services that will work with the device.

Of the ones I've tried so far (which is not many really):

-Phantasy Star Portable 2 (downloaded during the 'mistake' window)
-Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker
-Gradius Collection
-Final Fantasy III
-Afterburner: Black Falcon
-Sega Genesis Collection

and a lot more

So they're seriously using a whitelist for PSP games, of all things? I was hoping I'd be able to play Peace Walker on it, even if it's not available directly from the PS TV store.

Is the white one a Japan exclusive?? Aw bummer

Killzone: Mercenary begs to differ.

100% agree

considering you can play vita remote play over the internet hundreds of miles away and it works quite well, i'm sure the pstv will be great for remote play. especially if both connections are wired

That's my thinking though. My PS4 isn't hardwired, and it seems like when I walk too far away from my living room with my Vita I experience latency and occasional disconnections.

Yeah. I started using mine a good few days ago with my UK account.

If only Persona 4 didn't have so much aliasing.

I already had it downloaded from the U.S. PSN. Just plugged my memory card into the Vita TV, logged in and activated.
