This looks new ^^

Sony have just surprised us all by revealing PlayStation Vita TV, a 6cm by 10cm (tiny) device which allows you to watch video and network services or even play Vita and PSP games on your TV, controlled by a DualShock 3.


It appears to be a small console which is powered by the same stuff as the Vita, and includes an HDMI port for hooking up to your TV. There’ll be 1300 titles available.


The system also works as a companion device, which allows you to play PS4 games in another room without the need for a second console. That’s amazing.


It’ll be available in Japan on November 14th and will cost 9,945 yen or 14,994 yen with tax for a bundle including a controller and an 8GB memory card.


So, that’s about £70 for a device that allows you to play Vita games on your TV, or PS4 games in another room, as well as a plethora of TV and video content.


Few extra details from sony:

• There will be a system software update to patch in DualShock 4 support.
  
• It can connect to other PS Vitas via ad hoc mode.
  
• Two DualShock 3 controllers can be paired to the system, allowing for playing PS1 titles.
  
• PS Vita can be used as a controller for some Wii U like functionality.
  
• Will support “nasne”, a networked recorder and media storage device.

Well this looks nice and promising! Will save people a bit of money if they was going to buy another ps4 for another room, you could just buy this!

Things are looking even better for the future of PlayStation and better yet the PlayStation 4 itself!

I've read that it will be $99 in the US so its safe to assume it'll be £99 for the UK/Europe.

Thoughts?

Yeah that's why i thought at first, but the way you wrote it made me re-think it.

I might pick this up, looks intriguing. Definitely wouldn't mind playing Persona 4 Golden on the big screen again.

I honestly thought this at first was something like an article from the Onion. I'll be looking forward to seeing what Sony can do with this console, it sure does look promising.

getting this for my downstairs family room

Will you be able to login to a different account? If so then yeah just buy this as a second ps4 lol..

or is it just so you won't have 2 play in splitscreen but both of you have ure own screen?

This is my first time hearing about this. I probably wont be getting it... Im sticking to PS4! :p

That's not a new console it a streaming box which takes content from your vita or PS4. Some word on Gaikai support.
Still curious why they done this, part of me thinking it to get as many people playing Sony software titles as possible without the need for another PS4.

nice. gonna buy it for sure xD

Yikes, this looks ridiculous. I'll just stick to my Vita, thanks.
