This is the best thing ever. That means you don't need two PS4's. Remote Play into your bedroom TV.

Genius.

Wow oh wow, I need to see exactly what this thing can do, but it might be huge. $99 is a good price for it too.

Man, I really want this. If only the Vita had TV-out and I didn't have to use something like this. Idk. If the Japanese revival is successful, and we get a lot more awesome games for it, I'm totally down for one.

The PSVITA TV bundle screen showed the PS vita memory cards, so they couldn't even be bothered to add some internal flash memory or something ? Come on now.

What do they mean by this thing supporting PSP games? Did they mean downloaded or does this baby actually take the UMDs?

i do like the idea of playing vita on the big screen!
but it could've been done with a good HDMI out...i mean, being able to switch TV's is cool but ill never get people who think remote play, off-TV play and stuff like this is a game changer

Well, my interest in the new Vita model just took a nose dive, lol.

Also, the Vita TV better be compatible with the Dual Shock 4. Sucks that it's bundled with a DS3. :-\

They just eliminated the need for a ton of people to own the Vita...

Sony doesn't care how many vita's are sold. Hardware doesn't sell for a profit.

It is half the price of a Vita. Could do pretty good, considering it plays PSP, PSONE and Vita games.
