It's 100 bucks(or 90 with the rumored coupon/amazon pricing). They apparently fixed the software issues for the US release because every upcoming and previous game will work for it.

Yeah it's a screenless consolified Vita that you plug into your TV and play Vita games on. But 100 bucks for a console with a somewhat unique library is not bad. Tales of Hearts R and the new Project Diva are coming for it.

It has a shitload of anime games, like not since the Neo geo Pocket color has a system had 90% all anime games.

Not the UMDs, the only physical carts it will take are the vita ones.

But it will play the digital downloaded PSP games.

I don't know it would be useless for me since it's going to go into the same TV as my PS4.

the atelier games are just lovely ports of the ps3 ones, not really a strong selling point

You play using the PS4 or PS3 controller

I thought they were decent ports, but I wasn't aware they had PS3 versions. I think the Vita library is pretty strong, even without them.

The controller bundle comes with the PS3 controller not the PS4 I was wrong.

But it can stream PS4 games.

!!!

edit: here's a list of games compatible with it

seriously can't believe that crash bandicoot and spyro aren't on the ps1 list - kinda dampens it for me. i was hoping to import my psn library to the pstv

although all the disgaea games are on it

eh... i dunno

edit: tearaway isn't on that list either so i guess the touchscreen-intensive games are off the plate too

so when you say it can play downloaded psp games, does that mean it just pulls them off your psp or do you have to log onto the store with the TV?

It's coming in a firmware update because they're going to get the touch controls working. I Can't remember if it's the Terraway PS4 port though or the Vita version.

i'll get hype about this thing again when sony puts their entire ps1 library on the fucker AND makes all vita touchscreen games compatible

also there's a shitload of psp games that should be on that list - the sheer number of exclusives the psp had was incredible considering how much it lagged behind the 3ds

Silver Striker

There will probably not be 100% PSP compatibility anytime soon. Sony did a good job of getting most of the games working and then apparently gave up.

If it's like the Vita, and I assume it will be, then you can log into the store via the console. You can download any game that you have already purchased on the store, or transfer them from a PS3.

They're dicking around with their PS1 library for the PS4, I imagine that's what's holding it up since streaming is apparently a big deal. Which means once streaming works for the PS4 the Vita will get it.

Honestly I only want one to play JRPGs and anime games. That and I still have all my physical copies of PS1,PS2, and PSP games. Outside of Suikoden 1 and 2 there's nothing really that I want to download that I don't already have.

It's entirely stand alone, you might just need a PS3 controller and that would be it.
