The editors liked
Inexpensive for imported electronics. Amazingly small. Can play some card-based North American games like Persona 4 Golden.
Plays most Vita games
PlayStation TV has an affordable starting price point
Works with existing DualShock 3 and 4 controllers and can play hundreds of games. It also offers game streaming from a networked PS4 or via PlayStation Now
And a handful of video services
Remote Play works well with the PlayStation 4
Compact and sleek design
Inexpensive. Very good backward compatibility with PlayStation Portable and PSOne Classics. Works with DualShock 3 and 4.
Cute
Sleek design
Inexpensive
Great way to play the games it supports
The cheapest
Most portable way to remotely play your PS4 on another TV
Plays PS1 and Vita games using a full-sized DualShock controller
Reasonably priced
The editors didn't like
Nonexistent support outside of Japan. Can only access Japanese PS Store. Won't let you access your North American PS Store purchases or PS Plus membership
1080i max resolutio
Barely any video channel
Physical design feels crampe
Cumbersome media server streamin
Inefficient touch-screen workarounds
A surprising amount of content for PSTV is not available in HD
And the Vita's interface doesn't make a graceful jump to the big screen. Remote play is laggy in Wi-Fi mode and PSTV still relies on an expensive flash storage medium. Major streaming service
Lacks some muchneeded content
No support for other streaming apps
Bottom Line
If you're a very specific type of retro gamer
The Sony PlayStation TV is the ideal microconsole for you
It really all depends on what you want out of the PlayStation TV. Using it as a Remote extender works well enough if you're using a wired connection on both systems. Vita games are a bit hit and miss, as are PSP games and PSOne Classics. It's frankly goda...
Abstract: When Stuff gave the PS4 its five-star review last October its Remote Play features stood out as a sign of a console with plans for the future. But unless you're a Vita owner (there are some out there, right?) it's a function that's so far gone largely unu...

Ultracompact design, Remote Play runs great
Many games missing, Major video apps MIA, UI isn't ideal for TV
As a Remote Play extender for PlayStation 4 owners with fully wired homes—or truly outstanding Wi-Fi connections—the PlayStation TV has definite value, and it's much easier than hauling your PS4 around the house and a lot cheaper than buying a second one....
Review: Sony PS Vita TVWhen Sony introduced the PlayStation Vita TV (PS Vita TV) at their Pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference in 2013, it had been a surprise to many due to the fact that the new PS Vita model had also been announced at the same time. Bei...

Retrouver ses jeux PS Vita sur la TV
Trop de jeux incompatible, trop de latence en lien PS, un positionnement peu convaincant
La PlayStation TV est arrivée sur le marché européen sans grande promesse de la part de Sony. Elle arrive malgré tout à décevoir, tant les fonctions qu’elle propose ont du potentiel, mais son limitées par un problème technique ou une restriction volonta...
Compacité et bonne finition, Installation facile, Aucun bruit de fonctionnement, Faible consommation, Compatible avec les DualShock 3 et 4 / Jusqu'à 4 manettes en même temps, Streaming des jeux PS4 (Remote Play)
Quelques soucis de latence qui peuvent être gênants dans les jeux rapides (FPS, course. ), Pas de gestion du 1080p, Tous les jeux Vita ne sont pas compatibles, Pas de manette fournie, 1 Go de mémoire seulement, Services multimédias limités à ceux de Sony
La mini-console de jeu PlayStation TV est une PlayStation Vita sans écran, ni plus ni moins : même interface, mêmes performances. Tous les jeux Vita ne sont hélas pas compatibles et leur affichage sur un écran beaucoup plus grand révèle forcément des défa...
Tarif de 99 euros, Compact (facile à transporter), Installation très facile et rapide, Stream de l'affichage de la PS4, Compatible avec Now prévu en Europe en 2015, Supporte le DualShock 4 mais aussi 3
Qualité du streaming PS4, Pas de support du 1080p, Peu d'applications pour le multimédia
Pétrie de bonnes intentions, la PlayStation TV n'est pas exempte de défauts. Les plus gros proviennent de la qualité moyenne du streaming de la PS4. Une mise à jour pourrait toutefois améliorer grandement cela. Il faut toutefois bien avoir conscience qu'o...
