Support NeoGAF

[Unknown Soldier]

My body is ready. It's about damn time I was able to play my Vita games on my TV.

 

[Massa]

anyone?

1GB just like the Vita 2000.

 

[Supermanisdead]

does this have a vita game card slot?

 

[Adam Prime]

Yeah, a console to play Trails in the Sky 2!

 

[vgamer1]

does this have a vita game card slot?

The JP version does, and I don't see them making a new hardware for the US, so yeah.

 

[RoninChaos]

I assume the memory card is a vita memory card and not a micro sd?

 

[SFenton]

I'm half torn on whether or not I would buy this. I have a Vita, but having it on the TV would be nice, but it's a bit pricey for an optional accessory for me...

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

my p4g box arrives

 

[Vashetti]

I wish this was updated hardware so it supported 1080p.

 

[koopas]

The JP version does, and I don't see them making a new hardware for the US, so yeah.

Pretty sure the bundle comes with a lego game on a vita card so yeah pretty sure it has a slot.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Heh, Elminage Original is compatible of all things.

 

[RoninChaos]

Is it going to upscale at all? The psp component cables, while a cool accessory, didn't do much for the games when displayed on a tv since nothing was improving the resolution. Will the vita tv do this?

 

[Oersted]

I wish this was updated hardware so it supported 1080p.

Didn't someone reveal, trough opening it, that it is just a Vita with HDMI?

 

[Loofy]

Can this stream movies from the PC?
If I could skip getting a media player like Fire that would be great.

 

[Lupin the Third]

Pretty sure the bundle comes with a lego game on a vita card so yeah pretty sure it has a slot.

They said the bundled LEGO game was a download voucher. But yes, it has both Vita memory card and game card slots.

 

[mob_skater]

This may be a dumb question but does anyone know how well this would work for remote play? Has anyone, with the jp vita TV, tried it with remote play? And does it work with a ds4?

I'm really interested in buying this but the only thing I would use it for is for remote play. Already have a vita for my vita gaming and it would be nice to play the ps4 on a different tv if I need to.

 

[Vashetti]

Didn't someone reveal, trough opening it, that it is just a Vita with HDMI?

I meant upscaling.

Original VitaTV release supported 720p and 1080i.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

I'll prob buy more PSP titles because of this. Will be nice to play titles in full screen the right way.

 

[rjinaz]

Best news out of E3 so far, for me anyway.

 

[J-Man]

Will buy a bunch of PSP stuff (that I already own on UMD but haven't played yet) when I inevitably buy this.

 

[Aselith]

Goodbye Fire TV, we hardly knew ye

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I was sooooo happy when this got announced, I'm buying it day 1.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

This was my favorite announcement all day. I kept faith this would come to the US, and even felt they'd changed the name.

So glad it's coming

 

[charlequin]

Yeah, a console to play Trails in the Sky 2!

If that ever comes out

Spoiler

it won't

it would be pretty high on my list of reasons to want a "Playstation" TV, yes.

 

[GuardianE]

This is pretty great. I hope the compatibility list grows, though.

 

[Badlucktroll]

bless the playstation gods. I am going to have my Ps4 in 2 places at once!

 

[Badlucktroll]

Does anyone know if i can have my account on my Vita, as well as the playstation tv i plan to purchase? also, here is some remote play footage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGuJw12Mp3k

 

[linkboy]

If Sony can improve the via compability, I might just pick this up instead of a second Vita (my current one is hacked and I'm not upgrading it).

 

[Basileus777]

I'm surprised they are still bringing it over after its disastrous Japanese release. I don't think it has much of an audience in the West either.

 

[Darknight]

Sony really dislikes the Vita. Won't even call it a Vita TV when it runs on Vita OS...

Plastation TV sounds better than Vita TV because its focus for a broader audience and the thing doesnt play all Vita titles. Still dont think its worth it.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I've been given too many Vita games through Playstation plus not to purchase this. I feel like I pretty much have to. Can you opt for a Dualshock 4 controller instead?

 

[cdash]

I'm surprised they are still bringing it over after its disastrous Japanese release. I don't think it has much of an audience in the West either.

I don't think the Japanese audience says anything about the West though. For example half the reason to own it (PS4 Streaming) barely even applies in Japan as no one owns a PS4 and it released before the PS4 even released.

 

[Am_I_Evil]

bless the playstation gods. I am going to have my Ps4 in 2 places at once!

very exciting !!!

 

[Basileus777]

Plastation TV sounds better than Vita TV because its focus for a broader audience and the thing doesnt play all Vita titles. Still dont think its worth it.

A broader audience that wants to play PSP/PS1 games, a limited selection of Vita titles, and wants a not so great media box? A name change makes sense, but this isn't a device with broad appeal.

I don't think the Japanese audience says anything about the West though. For example half the reason to own it (PS4 Streaming) barely even applies in Japan as no one owns a PS4 and it released before the PS4 even released.

In the West there is a ton of competition from better media boxes with stronger branding and market awareness. I don't see this competing.

 

[Jeels]

Hmm, do people think this will become heavily discounted within months?

I'd be willing to pay something like $50 for a PS4 streaming option for another room. Essentially an accessory to my PS4.

 

[vagabondarts]

I want a compatibility list.

Here's a listof compatible games:

http://asia.playstation.com/sg/en/newsdetail?id=1873

P4G is on there which is all that matters.

thanks

Counting this and my Vita, there's my 2 Sony platforms for all of my games.

Will have to think about getting this vs a PS4 for TV gaming.

Can I play Persona 4 Golden on the TV? yes
TxK? no.
My PsOne games? some

Heh, Elminage Original is compatible of all things.

Haha Awesome!!

 

[Hellsing321]

All I want to know is if P4G is compatible with it. Everything else can fuck off.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

So going off the Japanese list

Persona 4 The Golden
Atelier Totori+
Atelier Meruru+
Soul Sacrifice
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom Vita
Tactics Ogre PSP
Final Fantasy War of the Lions

Yeah. I'm sold just for those games. Incredible. Hope the compatibility list grows to include the Trials in the Sky we're getting and Sword Art Online.

 

[The Spoony Hou]

Sony trying to fool people, I see.

 

[baphomet]

Sony trying to fool people, I see.

How so?

 

[flyover]

Best news out of E3 so far, for me anyway.

Same here. Besides the pipe dream of a Last Guardian update, this was what I wanted most.

Is P4G on PSN yet, or strictly physical? If the latter, I'm ordering it now, just to be safe. It's pretty much the whole reason I want this thing.

 

[ubersticky]

How come all Vita games arent compatible? What's the point?

 

[hodayathink]

Why aren't they bundling it with DS4 instead of DS3? Makes no sense.

This puzzled me too.

I'd guess because with the drop in PS3 sales, they have a ton of DS3s they'd like to get rid of, while they aren't really worried about the sales of the DS4. Which is probably the same reason they mentioned the DS3 for PS Now on Bravia instead of the DS4.

 

[t26]

How come all Vita games arent compatible? What's the point?

Because of the touchscreen.

 

[Blearth]

Is there custom firmware on Vita TV yet?

 

[Punchy4486]

Because of the touchscreen.

Can't the Dual Shock 4 compensate for that?

 

[darkwing]

I really hope that once this releases, I'll be able to use my NA account on my JP Vita TV.

This!

 

[vagabondarts]

waitaminute, you can put physical Vita cartridges in this?

How did I miss that detail?
I thought it just was like a Vita PSN streaming device.

 

[Hindl]

I actually think I'm going to get this. I'm living in a big apartment next year with a few people, so the idea of having the ps4 in the living room and be able to stream it to my bedroom is tempting

 

[DarkLegion]

DanganRonpa should be fine right? I'd buy one just for that game.
