Tiny new system, big potential

New Sony product PS Vita TV lets you play Vita games on your television.

And as the name suggests, the PS Vita TV will let you play Vita games on your television, as well as downloadable PSP and PSOne games. There's even multiplayer support for Vita games. Just keep in mind that Vita games that need touchscreen action won't work with this system.

Cool!
Stupid Sony only giving PSM licenses to a couple of countries.

Looks nice, but not hackable. But they are pushing the streaming media, which is critical. Looks like they have Hulu on board.

.... no Uncharted?? ugh

It's basically it's a Tegra 4 Android box, what puts me off is that there will be no access to the Playstore. I kinda avoid restricted stores now after suffering being boxed in by Apple for so long, I dont want to swap Apple for Sony now. I think I'll hang back till a more open Android Tegra 4 device becomes available.

the funny thing about this Vita TV is that when someone did the Nintendo 1DS parody, i thought is was a great idea, but it seems Sony actually had the idea!
