I'm really tempted to grab one of these even though I have no reason to.

I've never been a huge fan of portable gaming, but thanks to PS+ I have a bunch of interesting Vita games so I think I might get one of these then. Well played, Sony. Also I never got around to playing Persona 4, so now I can just play Golden instead.

I'm definitely getting a Vita TV, since I mostly play mine at home and would much prefer a big screen and a DS4 for extended gameplay sessions. Then again I bought my Vita purely for P4G and not for the portability, so the Vita TV is a perfect fit for me. I just hope that Vita games working on it will be the rule rather than the exception.

Beef Waifu posted:Do we know if the Vita TV is region-free? We don't actually know but will probably get a better idea closer to the release date. Currently it seems the Vita TV is blocked from connecting with a US account simply because the backend store for it isn't up; the Vita TV has its own store frontend to filter out incompatible games, and it's possible that once the backend store is up, everything will work. There's also the possibility that the whitelist could be region-specific (e.g. only US units can run US cards, or only consoles configured with a US account can run US cards) or some such thing, but it's probably more likely that the Vita TV will just get a firmware patch which includes an updated whitelist.

Is there any information up anywhere about transferring save games from a Vita to the Vita TV?

The_Frag_Man posted:Is there any information up anywhere about transferring save games from a Vita to the Vita TV? I think the same way you transfer between Vitas now: either using the PS+ cloud, or using content manager on a PC (which works over a network and I think you can even use a double-ended USB cable to transfer with).

Not sure if there's any truth to this, but apparently it will be possible to seamlessly swap the same card between the Playstation TV and an actual Vita if they're both bound to the same account. That's pretty cool if true.

Judging by that tweet I doubt it will be much easier than it is on the Vita now, considering the recommendation for the PSN IDs to match. The question is just what it entails when it's not "a seamless experience". I'm leaning towards it working like it does on the Vita now, or close to it.

If Sony was smart they'd release the Playstation TV bundle with Minecraft instead of The Lego Movie Game. A $130 Minecraft box would have sold like gangbusters to parents.

I said exactly this about the Vita itself a few months back, especially since portable options for that game have mostly been pretty lousy. Incidentally what might be the final code got sent off for certification to Sony, so we might be seeing it really soon (and owners of the PS3 digital version get it free).

According to someone on Twitter, after installation of system software 3.30, NA accounts can now be used on Japanese Vita TVs. univbee, want to check if this is true? Same person also said the memory card got wiped.  Be careful with that.NA PS Store might not be accessible. Yechezkel fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Oct 2, 2014 |

 Oh! Well, congratulations! I'll compile info from other places in the meantime. The guy I linked confirmed NA PS Store is not accessible through Vita TV as of now. NA games have to be already installed on a memory card from a Vita handheld to play them on Vita TV. He also only has one NA game on gamecard and it doesn't work (Neptunia Rebirth). :/ Another person confirmed EU accounts also work with Vita TV. The person is streaming Vita TV stuff right now. Right now, it's stuff from Persona 4 Golden. From that stream, EU version of the first Danganronpa game really doesn't work, confirming its absence from the EU compatibility list. NA version is shown as compatible on the NA list. Yechezkel fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Oct 2, 2014 |

So my son was born fine, just getting that out of the way, and I had a chance to run some very quick tests. The whitelist is updated so if your Japanese Vita TV gets updated to 3.30, you should be able to run physical cards on it with a Japanese account of compatible games. Note that the game has to show up on the English list, so unfortunately Ys Memories of Celceta doesn't work. However, Ragnarok Odyssey Ace works if you patch it. (Note I just got to the point where the games boot up). I confirmed that Dangan Ronpa 1 and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward are compatible games, at least.

Another update and still no sign of support for Sony branded headsets, or the headset port on PS4 controllers. That's just a ridiculous oversight if you ask me. edit: and PSO2 doesn't support it. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Oct 4, 2014 |

This is coming out next week! er... next week in the NA region. EU region won't get it until 14 November. I put in my pre-order for it today. Hopefully a store won't put up a surprise deal with it a few weeks after I get it, like most other gaming stuff. $100 doesn't seem like a bad risk, since I have spare controllers and memory cards for it.

Both NA and EU PS Blogs posted big FAQs about PSTV: NA FAQ EU FAQ Notable answers that I don't believe have been covered in this thread. For both regions: quote:Is a memory card required for gameplay? NA region specific: quote:Will PS TV require a system software update at launch in North America? How will system updates work post-launch? EU region specific: quote:When does PS TV come out in the SCEE region? Yechezkel fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Oct 7, 2014 |

Any chance Gravity Rush or Uncharted will get patched? You figured they would been working when the Vita TV came out, but it still not changed. Sucks since I remember Gravity Rush's only had touch screen use on some a dodge roll.

Sucks since I remember Gravity Rush's only had touch screen use on some a dodge roll. Gravity Rush also uses the touchscreen for the Gravity Slide, where you press on both bottom corners to initiate it, then let go of one corner to drift. This would be fine if they assigned it to the L2/R2 buttons, but that would still leave the dodge roll unaccounted for. At that point the only buttons you could theoretically use would be the L3/R3 buttons, and that would be awkward at best. Still better than it not being functional, though.

Their decision to keep using their own stupidly expensive memory card format is going to cost them sales again though.Knowing my luck I'll buy one to play PS1 / PS2 games, and then they'll announce a update to let the PS4 play them.  No Soul Sacrifice though.

Was Final Fantasy III on the PSP on the Japanese list? I noticed it missing on the official site list, which feels odd since you figured none of the PSP/PS1 games would have issues. I do hope the Playstation TV does have the option to remap buttons on the PS1 games. I saw video of someone using the Vita TV with a PS1 game, and it had the lame PS3 options of "analog and digital".
