Non portable Vita, WTF? Vita Console what?

[Black Tiger]

I had no intention of getting a 3DS, Vita or next gen console, but I'll probably buy a Vita TV just to play PSP games on. Anyone know how playing PSP games legitly on a Vita works? Do I have to rip UMD games to a memory card on my original model PSP and then stick the card in the Vita TV?

[ParanoiaDragon]

I don't think there's a "Sony" way to rip UMD's yet, but there's probably a way to do it with a 3rd part device & CFW.  I think it just means digital versions bought off PSN.  Though, I'm no expert on the Vita, seeing as how I don't have one yet.  Ofcoarse, with CFW, that means no PSN support, & more & more games are going digital only sadly For my PSP, I actually have the 1000 for CFW, & the 2000 for all the regular stuff.

To back up your games you need a PSP with a UMD

From what I was reading, the new versions of CFW allow one to toggle the jailbreak, so access to psn is still possible.

Sold my PSVita a while back but I may pickup a vita tv. I paid $100 for an Apple TV just to be able to watch Netflix on one of my tv.

I'm stoked for this. I loved plugging my PSP go into a cradle, hooking it to a TV and controlling it with a dalshock 3. To me this is the same thing, only newer

Shit I didn't even know you could do this.  Can you do it with a regular PSP?

[bartre]

no dualshock support sadly
only the go supported the bluetooth.

$100?  Vita TV is a no-brainer of a buy for me.  It'll stream play PS1/PS2/PSN/PSP/Vita games, stream Netflix, Music Unlimited, Video Unlimited and hopefully it'll support Gaikai later on.

It's supposed to do ps4 streaming as well. I wish  there was ps3 streaming on it as well. I would buy one, no second thoughts.

[ParanoiaDragon]

I hope they make some sort of touch controller for it, so that ALL Vita games are supported, that would rock!

[geise]

The new ps4 controller is a front/back touch screen in a sense.  That will be what you would use for touchscreen stuff as far as I know.

I'm buying this thing for sure. No question.

The only reason I even have a Vita is for imported Bandai games like Super Robot Wars. Being able to play them on the Vita itself or the TV is pretty cool. This is the closest were going to get to a major console with a lot of 2D games.

Yeah, totally.

However, the quality of Netflix varies from one platform to the next. Apple TV and PS3 are the best I've seen. Vita...not as good.

Any word on if this is coming to the U.S.?  I know VITA was region locked correct?
