Sony PlayStation TV 1GB Console - Black

About this product

Product Information

The PlayStation TV is a compact micro-console that is small enough to fit in your hand but powerful enough to play a huge library of hit video games. Whether you want a second console or you simply are looking to enjoy the PlayStation gaming experience, the PlayStation TV is a great option for handheld enjoyment. Instead of using a built-in LCD display, the PS TV connects directly to your high definition television set or monitor, just like regular full-size consoles. With the ability to connect the system to your TV via an HDMI cable, you can enjoy 480p, 720p, or 1080i resolutions. You'll have the same immersive graphics that you've come to expect. The system includes an Ethernet port and a single USB 2.0 port for additional support and accessories. It also features integrated 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi for wireless internet connectivity as well as support for a wireless Bluetooth headset. The system comes with a power cord, an AC adapter, and an HDMI cable. Games can be played with either a separate Sony DualShock 3 (PS3) or a DualShock 4 (PS4) controller. The analog stick on your controller will emulate Vita touch screen functionality for your handheld system. The PlayStation TV has 1GB of internal memory for storing video game saves and downloadable content. For gamers who need a little more storage space, the system is compatible with a PS Vita memory card of up to 64GB. Additionally, parents have the ability to restrict the system's use by ESRB game rating and block in-store purchases. By connecting your system to Sony's online network, you can engage in online co-op or multiplayer with other gamers across the country. The PlayStation TV also gives you access to a variety of video streaming apps, including Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu Plus. Download videos, play music, and turn your system into an all-in-one entertainment powerhouse. The Sony PS TV is powered by a quad-core ARM processor, with 512MB of RAM and 128MB of video RAM.

    PS One games Resurrected!

    Once I purchased a PS Vita I felt like the nostalgia of my PSOne gaming had returned. The drawback was it being limited to the screen size. Being inspired to share this with my wife, I pursued PSTV with the hopes of sharing the classic times. She had limited interest, but having a smoother system to play the old games I watched my older siblings play (and longed for) I could finally get it done! Pros: PS Vita integration for games and Vita Memory cards. Access to internet (smart device through Samsung TV) Access to Store to purchase classic games (Like Digital console for Nintendo) and play them on a larger screen. Connectivity to PS3/PS4 Controllers to play the games. Remote play from PS4 if playing on another TV (Be sure the environment is clear.) Super great Support from Playstation to handle issue Price is more competitive for the value you receive from the device. Option to change discs from menu (needed to YouTube this one when it came up) Cons: No remote start from Controller (From my experience anyway) Wi-Fi strength determines lag between input of controller to device. You need to adjust your timing of button pressing to get the exact result. I would NOT recommend FPS or musical games, or games needing very accurate timing of button pressing. (In my opinion this is PSTV's greatest flaw.) Overall, the device was worth my money. It saved me from purchasing another PSOne and retro games, without having all the discs. The remote play through Vita/PS4 lets me game while my wife watches netflix/Hulu. I would not recommend it as a primary device, but as an accessory to PS4/PSVita. PS4 runs the apps and has a better menu. Otherwise, having a wired internet connection through PSTV could fix the device lag, but this has yet to be tried.

    A less functional Vita in 720p;

    It has a limited number of Vita titles due to functionality concerns, pixelates PSP titles making them feel cheap and unappealing, requires a costly dualshock 4(in an attempt to mock the touch pads of the psVita), requires a PlayStation Network account to use the proprietary memory cards which MUST be activated on the system in order for its data to appear(unless you're satisfied with 1gb onboard memory), and of course it can utilize almost no streaming services including, PlayStation music, Netflix, FXnow, HBOgo, and so many others. It DOES offer PlayStationNow: A healthy library of PS3 games that can be rented at great cost if your broadband internet connection is worthy of Sony's approved bandwidth capabilities. For a seamless integration of games you can't keep longer than a cumbersome $17.99 duration of ninety days. Highly recommended for little ones, Vita fans that want a 720p experience for whatever reason, as a remote access drone for your PS4 in another room on your wi-fi network, and collectors of Sony's folly. I read all of the negative feedback for this little guy, and just had to make the mistake for myself to believe that something so redundant(and unfinished) could be sold. Hopefully this will help you decide to go with a PS4 for a more immersive media console experience.

  • Great for traveling instead of lugging around your ps4, as long as you have strong internet connection

    I wish I knew of this product a long time ago, it’s a stationary ps vita, which can remote play your ps4 and ps3, from anywhere around the world, but with Ethernet capability as well as WiFi, and you can use ps4 &ps3 controllers, as well as play vita games. It’s 720p so don’t expect anything dramatic but it’s great for house hopping especially if you have mostly digital games.

  • It is what it is...

    Too bad I didn’t snatch one of these up when they were under $30 new. Now they’re a bit of a collectors item. At any rate, this is essentially a Vita with an HDMI out. You can use a DS3 or DS4 which is cool. I bought this primarily to stream my PS4 on. A second tv, but both my PS4 and pstv are on WiFi right now, so even though I’m getting great WiFi speeds, the streaming is far too laggy to be playable. I’ve talked to others with wired solutions and they said it works fine so I’m sure that’s my issue. Other than that, you can play vita cartridges (some do not work, there’s lists online) as well as downloading games off the PSN. I’m using to play some psp and vita games I missed out on over the years, and I’ve never been a big handheld guy so playing them on the big screen is quite nice.

  • The product received just in time and is exactly as seller offered

    Works with no issues. This allow me to play very fun Vita games on TV!! Not all the Vita games are available to play in this vita TV (due for touch specs in some games); there is a while List solution around there that could allow to play all games with no restrictions! Ahh better use the DS4 specially for games like uncharted; gravity rush and wipeout 2048

  • Very compact, controller is nice

    I bought this at half price mainly to have a DS3 controller. The PS TV is pretty much a Vita so I can play most Vita games, including the free ones from PSN Plus. I'd recommend this if you can find a good deal on it and have a pile of free Vita games from Plus to play.

  • Pstv

    The PSTV is for the hardcore only or anyone who likes their ps4 in more than one room. The remote play feature is really the only to get this. Also if uou hack it (firmware 3.60) than if does become sn awesome emulator machine.

  • TV system needs more PS Vita tech

    I bought it exclusively to play my ps vita games on a bigger screen but the lack of touch-screen functions lacks in quite a few games interaction. The problem will be easily fix with a controller that covers all ps vita functions, thanks!

  • Essentially a PS Vita with some limitations for a fraction of the price.

    Sure it can't play ALL PS Vita games but it can play a very large number of them, added with the fact that it has a handy HDMI out, you can essentially stream any Vita compatible game you come across. Most people buying this already have a DualShock3 controller around and this thing is tiny. Almost a no brainer for the prices these things are going for. Sony's proprietary memory card is pretty expensive however.
