I could have sworn you could only put one Vita per PSN account?

Question:
If you retool all the settings on the PSTV, will everything be messed up when you put the card back into the Vita?
Will each system remember its own setting or is there one setting that each system reads differently?

I imagine the Vita TV changed that.

So it doesn't play some PS1 games that work on Vita? That's news to me.

This thing is tiny. I'll post impressions when I test it out in the evening. Bummer about Netflix and other spa not being supported yet, but that's why my house is flooded with Chromecasts.
No, you can have three 'portable' devices per account, I believe the Playstation TV falls under that category.
I had 2 of my own Vita's on my own account for a short while (when the Slim came out and I was deciding which one I wanted to keep), and later took that off and added the Vita my brother bought. This was 3 or so months ago and it's literally never been a problem.

Can i use 2 remotes with the playstation TV?
Yes.
The patch of live going with netflix has nothing to do with the store upsate. Sony never promised you these app so why are people surprised and acting like they expected them to be there?
Is it going to be supported natively? I'd just assumed it would be available via remote play.
I'd be very disappointed if it weren't available. All I own is the Vita TV (well, now PSTV), so I was hoping I'd be able to play some PS3 games I've never had the chance to play.
Curiously enough, the model number for my unit from BB is "PSV TEST" so you might not be that far off.
PS now beta starts today on Vita and PS TV.

Sony better fix the the item locations when you put your vita card into a vita tv and vice versa.
I'm not going to fix that every single time. Figured that would have been a given to have fixed Day 1.
So you can use the vita when traveling and then play on the TV when you're home.

It's specifically mentioned in the FAQ I've just noticed, so I assume it'll get native support.
Somebody said that it saves the locations for each platform independently, so you won't need to constantly re-shuffle. How does the UI look at 1080p does it still only allow the same amount of bubbles per page?
Awesome! I can't wait to finally try out South Park Stick of Truth. I've been waiting months.

Is there any advantage using the ps4 controller instead of ps3 one on ps tv? Does the vita make use of the touchpad? Dunno which extr controller to get as the PS3 ones are cheaper but they're not as comfortable either. Also I have a us physical game of persona will that card work with the uk ps tv?

Some people are saying that you cant use the mic port on the PS4 controller through Remote Play. I wonder if it works for the PS3 controller.

My DS3 Bundle got release day shipping, my Senran Kagura however did not
That sucks. I even went back to check it on Sunday to see if it was eligible and the only way I could do it was pay 3.99.
There isn't a mic port on the PS3 pad.

Well then I wonder if you can use a bluetooth ps3 headset then while in remote play. Hrm....
PSTV runs on a splinter of Vita's firmware. They could patch in multiple accounts and have it exclusive to the STB but they won't.
I actually think it's a bad idea as it addresses only two of the reasons Vita has sold the way it has: price and the state of dedicated handhelds. It doesn't tackle the lack of marketing, the insane memory solution or the frankly horrendous software library for anyone who isn't a NeoGAF member. In fact, PSTV has a worse software library than Vita does. Instead of being in a declining category Sony half-heartedly launched it into a market that has yet to see a real success.
Yes for PSone game and Remote Play. PSP, PSMobile and most PS Vita games won't work like that. I say most because games like Skullgirls and Desert Ashes will support PSTV couch multiplayer.
2 home consoles and 3 portables
PSTV counts as a portable
Apparently you can, and it allows use of the party app (Vita closes it when you launch remote play I believe).

do you need to physically connect it to the same network the first time you get it to remote play ps4 games on it? I have a friends who's getting it delivered to work and I was wondering whether it would work or not.

a follow up question re: the folders
if you proceed to rearrange games/folders with the memory card while in the PS TV, will it remember that setup the next time you put it in the PS TV? and would it rearrange the games/folders when you it in your Vita?
I get that it's two separate devices, basically, but I guess I'm asking if it ever treats one like the default device
If you're a SP fan, you'll love it.
Definite no. Main reason why nobody imported this in the first place.

Agreed about the marketing and memory card issues, but I feel like the library is mostly geared toward Japan's tastes. It is mostly RPG, Visual Novel, Dating Sim, or a cross-platform game.
3DS can get by on Japanese games alone because many Nintendo games appeal to worldwide audiences despite being very Japanese.
It seems most American mobile developers have moved on to iOS and Android. The lack of western-focused games hurting the Vita could definitely be argued though...

The whole Persona series is available between PSP, PSOne, and Vita games.
If given a choice, Golden is definitely the preferred option.
Support was added in patch 3.30 so yes.
The store will be updated today and hopefully there will be additional compatible games for this device.
Again, I choose to be optimistic, you choose to be pessimistic. Sony would be pretty myopic to ignore apps for this device.
You'd be mistaken. They've worked since 3.30 went live. You just have to deal with circle being confirm and ecks being back in the OS.

Video earlier in the thread actually shows Vita TV running a US account. I believe a patch has gone out to unlock them. In that video he could not access the US store though. Not sure if anything has happened there since then.

I'll mess with it again. It moved stuff around when I went to the TV and then back to the vita.
Maybe it was just a one time thing. It does have the same amount of bubbles.
He couldn't access it because the store wasn't live at the time.
Ah you're correct, I missed them on the list since they were under the "Shin Megami Tensei" title.
Yeah, I was thinking Golden would be the better play, just seems like a waste that I don't play my PS2 version, but I really should of played that a long time ago. My backlog is my bane.
So, what about Persona 2: Eternal Punishment for PS1 or Persona 2: Innocent Sin for PSP?
And, what about Persona 3 for PS2 or Persona 3 Portable for PSP?

Curious, does the audio in remote play get converted to stereo only or is it possible to get surround sound?
I can't speak for every game on this list but Suikoden worked just fine for me. It was already on my vita memory card that I put in the system but it played.

Just thought I'd put in my two cents.
Bought a Playstation TV (US Model, US Account)
-Set up is just like a PS Vita
-Bought it mainly for remote play in my bedroom; I do have a Vita though and the Vita games run great
-Currently my PS4 has an ethernet connection and my PSTV is wireless
-Wanted to try out twitch-reflex-ish type games so I played a bit of Towerfall Ascension and Resogun. Both ran meh; a few chugs here and there, but definitely playable
-Internet speed is 25/10
-I'm going to try hooking up with a Powerline Ethernet connection tonight in hopes of some smoother gameplay
I think I'm definitely going to hang onto this. I'm a JRPG type of person, so this will be key for me whenever the next "Tales" game comes out.

Eternal Punishment is the sequel to Innocent Sin. They are different games
I find the PS2 version of P3 unplayable due to lack of party control, but your YMMV on that issue. The FeMC campaign in P3P is better than the FES content in the PS2 version as well.

I got mine shipped in today. I was hoping I'd be able to use a controller adapter that acts as a wired PS3 controller, but I'm stuck at the startup screen where you have to sync a DS3 or DS4. Does it do this prompt every time you start up, or only the first time? In other words, if I borrow a DS3 to get past this synchronization step, would I be able to proceed with only a wired controller? (My failsafe is to buy a DS4, I guess...)

I'm of the opinion that Persona 1 and 2 have aged poorly, but I'm sure many here will disagree. As for P3, if given the option the PS2 version is the way to go, but the PSP version is serviceable.

I thought it ONLY works with the DS3 and DS4. No wired controllers.
South Park isn't available on the PlayStation Now beta.
