The editors didn't like
Proprietary and expensive memory cards
Unknown internals and partnerships
Game streaming unwise over slow internet connections
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
Sony PlayStation TV ReviewAs we only have one main (large) television I decided to purchase the PSTV as my son could then play on his PS4 remotely while my wife and I could still watch the television in the living room without being relegated to the kitch...

Absolutely tiny, PS4 streaming works well, Decent range of old games available
Not enough streaming services, Too laggy for online multiplayer, Vita games not fully optimised
PlayStation TV verdict Open Gallery Playstation TV's USP is second-screen gaming and on that front there really is nothing else out there like it. If your main TV is regularly contested territory and you have a sturdy network this is a much easi...

Abstract: Let's address the positives first. PlayStation TV remains a beautifully designed piece of kit - it looks great, it feels solid and well-built, and the plastics are of a decent quality. It's completely identical to the original Japanese model of course, on...
Small, sleek portable design, Supports Dualshock 3 and 4 controllers, Three free games included
Inconsistent PS Vita physical game support, Remote Play only available in 720pHD, Small amount of onboard storage
PS TV: Remote Play Sony's big push is on PS4 Remote Play. This works in pretty much the same way as it does on the PS Vita, letting you play next gen games on another TV in the house. Like Sony's handheld, both console and microconsole need to be on the s...
A cheap console with access to tonnes of games, small and out of the way, PS4 Remote Play gives you access to your PS4 library to play in another room, simple to use
Only capable of 720p and stereo audio output, no video streaming services save for Sony's own, many PS Vita games are not compatible at launch
If you own a PS4 then PS TV adds an all-new element to your set-up, one that enables you to carry on playing your favourite games via Remote Play, even after being kicked off the living room television in favour of Strictly Come Dancing. In addition...

Abstract: The PlayStation TV has now landed, and while it's the smallest PlayStation to date, barely bigger than a deck of cards, it's capable of pumping out PS Vita titles and can also be used as a receiver for streaming PS4 games to another telly. Is that all it'...

The PlayStation TV sounds great on paper, but out of the gate, it underwhelms as both a gaming and an entertainment box....
