Poll Playstation TV Reviews Are Out. Will You Be Buying A PS TV device? (62 votes)

Yes, I will be purchasing a PS TV 15%
No, I will not be purchasing a PS TV 69%
I'm undecided. Will wait for improvements before I decide. 16%

The Playstation TV Reviews are in and it hasn't been great. Seem Sony has released another incomplete device.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/10/17/playstation-tv-review

http://www.cnet.com/products/sony-playstation-tv/

Here we go again. Another rushed device or service launched by Sony that has their fanbase beta testing it. The PS4 was rushed (it still can't play a CD or music/video/picture files off a USB device after almost a year) to market and had over 1/2 dozen issues within the first 3 months. How many remember BLOD, corrupted saves files, disks not ejecting from your PS4 and the system completely deleting your games while you slept? lol!! Now we wait desperately for Firmware 2.0 to be released. Then we get the PSNow, which is NOT in BETA. Beta is when you have a number of people testing the product/service before it goes public. PSNow is 100% public for everyone to download. Also, Beta doesn't make you "spend money" to test it. When Sony decided to add fees to ALL the games on PSNow, Beta was over. The service is still crap. If you have a WiFi connection, don't even waste your time or money. Now we get PSTV, that launches with missing apps, poor wifi support and a large % of PSVita games that aren't even supported. WTF!?!? Why even launch it if you don't have Netflix, Amazon or Hulu Plus on it? There are even PS3 games that don't work well with this thing. It's only real benefit is Remote play, but you have to have a wired network for it to work well. The quality of the games on the big screen is hit or miss. Sometimes PSVita games looks great and plays well. Other times the screen is blurry and hard to see. There can be excessive lag and slow response to control inputs. This happens with PS4 games as well. The quality won't be as sharp as if you are playing directly from your PS4. Will gamers still shell out money for this device?

What is the PS TV? http://www.gamespot.com/articles/whats-playstation-tv-all-about-this-video-explains/1100-6422671/

Read other peoples reviews. http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-TV-vita/product-reviews/B00KVMHSUM/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_summary?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=byRankDescending

Now the main question. Will you be purchasing a PS TV to go with your PS4?

They do fit the "greatness awaits" quite nicely. I have yet to understand the "where the greatest plays" though.

Come on man this is going to sell... There is a thread over on Gaf with some guys buying it and returning it. Most being apologetic over it. The sales will show up. The returns.. who knows.

Amazon reviews are not to keen on the product. There are several Blind Sony fans that don't know the difference between good or bad. As long as the name is on the plastic. I Must have!

You see it everyday on this board. It will sell imo. Will it maintain sales. That's the question. Just look at the LACK of outrage over the Drive5 fiasco on the internet. Imagine that was Forza having those problems.

Mamma always said. Stupid is as stupid does.

PSP Go - Complete flop. Didn't even last a year.

PSNow - Flopping currently. Unless they can correct the WiFi lag and produce a monthly/yearly fee.

PS Move - Another complete flop that was worse then Kinect. Sony abandoned it without telling anyone.

I don't buy video game devices because they're cute though. There has to be a very good reason to own it and I can't think of any that's worth the $99 price tag.

I was just showing how someone can paint a picture in their mind on a complete Piece of Garbage product. To justify it's worth. Name / size / hope of future fixes.

People will buy it for reasons just like that. Apologetic Sony fans. No offense at all intended freedomfreak. It was just a great example.

I'm going to buy about 100 of them and then throw them at the annoying motorists tailgating me on the highway, Then I'll blame it all on Sony and watch Slowmentos try to spin the event into something MS or Xbox related.....

PSP was in no way a flop, it sold fucking 80 million units worldwide and was sony's (yes, the entire company's) main source of money for a good three years there or so.

Shitting on Sony is better after all the trolling Cows and Ponies did with MS XB1. I would take an XB1 over the crappy PS Move, PSP Go, PS Now and PS TV any day of the week. All the cows calling XB1 crap should take their heads out of Sony's ass and look at some of the crap Sony has brought to the market. Bunch of hypocrites. Don't get me wrong M$ has make crappy products as well. Windows Vista, Window 8, the first two Surface tablets and the MS original phone were all crap as well. The XB1 is far from crap however. I don't think the Wii U is crap either.

Too many unsupported games. I wanted one, but I think I'll have to buy a Vita instead.

A list of things they messed up on with PS TV:

-Not being able to use the PS Vita as a controller while a Vita cartridge or digital game is running off of the PS TV was a huge mistake. Many games are not compatible with PS3 and PS4 controller due to the lack of touchscreen and camera. Being able to quickly play all your PS Vita games on the TV with your PS Vita in hand would have been ideal and crucial to success of this platform.

-They could have turned the touch pad on the PS4 as a solution for touch screen on Vita and the Playstation Eye as the Camera.

-1080p upscale would have been wise.

-Lacking Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon Instant Video is ridulous for a streaming platform that is competing with Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV.

-Sony needs to get rid of proprietary memor cards and PS TV could have been the start. It is one of the big reasons 3DS kick the Vita's but sales wise.

Sony really has potential with this platform but they need to quickly fix many problems as of right now its nearly a useless box.

most important note

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

i buy one rest will get better over time

A lot of this stuff can be improved, but while I was really quite interested, my instincts tell me that Sony will half ass the effort they put into this.

See, getting the PS4 and X1 bare bones at launch is tedious, but you know they'll work their ass off to turn it into something and even that's taking time. Sony has had so much time with the PS Vita already, and the Playstation TV has already been out for almost a year in Japan, so I just don't feel like Sony truly cares which is a real shame. Sometimes they come out with great stuff and don't even try to support it.

On paper it sounds like a great device and a great opportunity. But I'm not rushing into anymore consoles now. I've learnt my lesson with the X1.

No, because I've already got a 3DS and Vita to play when I'm away from home, and it sounds like it has some major flaws anyway. Some of the issues could be fixed I suppose. I don't know what to make of this device or if there'll be a large market for it.

You're no less of a hypocrite then he is. The XB1 is fine.

lol, dafuq are you talking about blackace? Fail at reading comprehension?

I was relaying the fact that he is wrong about people shitting on Sony. Instead, everyone is shitting on Microsoft/ Xbox One these days, it's the "cool" thing to do. You see it everywhere in the media. How am I a hypocrite? I haven't really said shit negative about the Xbox One since it's horrible reveal (because the reveal was indeed horrible). In fact, I say it has the better game line up than the PS4 (which is overhyped). Phil has been doing everything right to clean up Xbox One's image.

Please enlighten me.

I would. I have a Vita already but I want to reduce the number of devices I have to worry about battery life for. Plus I prefer playing games with a controller. I would've gotten this instead of a Vita if it had been available at the time.

I can see myself getting one, but not any time soon. I hope more Vita games are supported in the future, and more controller options.
