Sony - PlayStation TV Lego Bundle - Black

Of course I recommend to all my friends and family

Needed a new Controller for my PS3 so i scored this bundle. Wish I had a PS4 to unlock the full potential of this little beast but it is a Playstation not much bigger than a cell phone that I can use on my non family dominated tv and take with me when I travel and do some gaming at the hotel. A little tricky to find the right Vita games that are compatible and don't need Vita touch controls but the internet has lots of lists.

I bought this when it was on sale for $50 which is worth it since the base unit costs $40 and this gave me an extra long charging cable along with a game a dual shock 3 and an 8GB memory card while this won't replace an actual Vita, because of the price drop, you can enjoy Vita games until you decide to pick up a Vita later on. Plus you can enjoy the games on your big screen which unfortunately the Vita will never be able to do which was my decision.

This is a pretty nice piece of tech. It doesn't play all of the vita games, but for a system that can be taken anywhere, and have access to a significant amount of games is quite the godsend. I've put PSone games and PSP games along with some vita games and use this as my portable system when going to someones house and not have to drag my big consoles. This system does not have netflix unfortunately, so if you plan to use this as a roku with games, you are unfortunately out of luck. It does support hulu, but it still needs more to be fully recommendable.

The PSTV is a great product and allows anyone to play vita games on the tv. The console is very small and easy to setup. But I wish all the vita games were supported instead of looking up for a list. Overall, I enjoyed the system but it needs work. The bundle is worth it and comes with a game to get you started.

This is a great companion set for any body that has a PS4 and wants to be able to ply in another room in the house on a big screen without having to purchase a 2nd PS4 or by moving the console around. The remote play works great over Ethernet, but not so much on Wireless unless you have full strength.

If you have a PS4, and any desire to play it in another room, this device is what you need. Ideally, you'd also want a wired internet connection, but it is still kinda playable over wifi. (I use powerline networking, so I get mostly flawless streaming, with a very rare hiccup every now and then) If you like watching the Live From Playstation streams on the PS4, this device has it's own app for that. It also has Crackle, which I use to watch Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. It doesn't have it's own Netflix or Hulu app, but I'm pretty sure they are coming. It would surprise me a lot it we don't at least get netflix. Comes with a DualShock3, but works best with a DualShock4. When playing PS4 games, the DS4 is useful because of the lack of touchpad on the DS3, but even when playing Vita games, the touchpad is really useful; a pointer shows up on screen allowing you to use some touchscreen functionality without too much hassle. By default displays at 720p, which can look a little fuzzy up close. But if you switch over to 1080i manually, I find that the image is a little nicer. The Vita renders natively at 960x540, so it's a clean 2x upscale going to 1080. I haven't noticed the interlacing causing any visual issues. I would not currently recommend it as a standalone device (though there may be some people who could find plenty of use for it that way), but as a companion device, it's really quite functional.

gave it a 4 stars because for a set top box...no major media apps were available on launch day... and netflix has still no plans in supporting it. streaming is very good as long as you have a dual band router and just doing rpg's or mission.. no multiplayer.. i think the playstation tv could handle it, but its too much for the ps4.. to be on multiplayer and streaming via remote play.. I also tried remote play via the internet(not home network).. it is possible as as long its stable or hardwired. has potential....
