+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted March 27, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted March 27, 2015 Several UK retailers have been offering massive discounts on PlayStation TV today, which we originally put down to happy coincidence and stock clearance. However, we have now learned that Sony has officially slashed the RRP of the device in half, presumably in order to start shifting some units. UPDATE: We just received the following statement from SCEE. "Starting from the 27th March, PS TV will offer even greater value for money when it becomes available for only Jose_49 and DrunknMunky 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Eternal Tempest MVC Posted March 27, 2015 MVC Share Posted March 27, 2015 I hope they keep improving the Vita Game (Physical & Virtual) compatibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I don't have a PlayStation 4 but I do have a PlayStation Vita and a PlayStation 3 wireless controller. What will the PlayStation TV offer me? (I don't really understand what it is and reviews mainly mention PS4-related things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arachno 1D Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Seems to be a lot of "on-line" TV type boxes competing in the market at the moment Aergan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted March 27, 2015 Veteran Share Posted March 27, 2015 Tempted to go out and buy one, but I own most of the games on PS3/PS4/PC etc, which are compatible with it anyway. Would be nice to see devs and / or Sony support touch controls with the DS4 touchpad in future. I'm probably going to wait for a different game bundle to sweeten the deal before picking up. Awesome price though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lingwo Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 So do i get a rebate for being an earlier adopter? I wasn't interested in any of the streaming functions. I still think that technology is pointless. I enjoy it for playing my Vita games on the big screen. I went through Persona 4 Golden with it. Great price now though.

Showan Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Can I somehow play all the digital PS3 titles I own on this thing? I own a ton of PS3 games, my PS3 YLOD... can't repair it since the fan is dead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you sub to PS Now, but I'm guessing you meant retail discs or PSN purchases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the PS3, or PS4 controller with it. It functions as a way to stream your PS4 to another tv in your house. Play Vita games physical or eletronic (not all comptable yet) on the tv. Acts as a device like google tv, roku, amazon fire, etc (once the apps work) to stream tv content to your tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinggus Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Quick question, can I play any PS4 game on say my phone? I could have sworn I seen an advertisement where a kid was on his roof playing PS4 from his phone. Now to this, I don't own a PS4, but to be able to stream a PS4 game on any TV would be badass. I hope Microsoft comes out with one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn I seen an advertisement where a kid was on his roof playing PS4 from his phone.I believe this is a feature of Sony phone/tablets. I don't have one personally so I may have misunderstood but my understanding is the PlayStation app on Sony Xperia phones and tablets allow this.I don't believe there is any technical reason they couldn't open this up to other Android device (or even iOS) with sufficient hardware but I think for now they use it to try to sell their devices. Oddly enough the PlayStation TV doesn't seem to support PlayStation Vue... I would have thought that would be a natural fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS4 remote play is supposed to be exclusive to some Xperia phones, but unofficial ports have been made for other Android devices. https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1246706-unofficial-app-opens-up-ps4-remote-play-on-android-devices/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been addicted to Destiny and I'd definitely not be able to get anything done if I was able to play it away from home.
