Because tomorrow, and only tomorrow, you can! In a manner of speaking.

The PlayStation Vita TV will be $40 on Amazon.com tomorrow, starting 11am. For $40, you get access to a large portion of the PS Vita's library, as well as all PSOne, PS Mini, and PSP games that are on the PSN Store. In addition, the PlayStation TV also runs PS Now, so you get a healthy amount of PS3 games on it via streaming, and has Remote Play, which means it can act as your in house PS4 extender.

For $40, it's a steal. Especially since those $40 give you access to the best version of the GOAT game, Persona 4 Golden. If you have not played P4G yet, and were going to, then this $40 is worth it for just that. Seriously, go ahead and get it, guys.

Good deal, but I already have a Vita amongst other consoles.

As a novelty for $40... If I didn't have a Vita, I would certainly jump on board. Especially if I had a PS+ account all this time. Ton of games to play instantly (assuming I queued them, and why wouldn't a subscriber do that?).

Really? You're going to deprive me of making a thread to mock the PS TV/Vita?

That's just cold

I haven't been following this TV thing, so more reason to not buy one.

Still not worth it, IMO. No netflix or amazon, and it still uses that solid gold memory card.

You had me excited for a second. I thought, "A PSVita for $40?!?! I'll take 10 of them!"

A PS Vita TV? Ehhhh.... I mean, I'll definitely consider purchasing one for that price but what I love about the PSVita is how portable it is. I can play it on the road or at work whereas a PS Vita TV I need a monitor/television for it to work.

Which reminds me, has anyone played Freedom Wars yet? I should have grabbed it last years when it was $15 during a Black Friday sale. Still kicking myself

My understanding is that Vita TV doesn't support a good number of games.

If it had the full library of PS Vita, I would definitely be interested in it at that price.

The games are not $30, most of them can be found for really stupidly cheap. This bundle presumably does not have the controller, but the controller bundle should also be 50% off tomorrow, so it'll probably be $50-$60.

It supports most of the important ones- the only ones worth playing that it does not, to my knowledge, are Gravity Rush and Tearaway. But all the big, important ones? Final Fantasy X HD, Persona 4 Golden, Soul Sacrifice Delta, Ys: Memories of Celceta, and so on- those are all supported.

I'll just wait for HD versions of those games on Ps4. Unless Gravity rush needs Vita's hardware gimmicks or something. That's the only game I want to play on Vita honestly. Why can't it play gravity rush?

Nope because Sony is known to discontinue things and I feel like the Vita will be part of those discontinued Sony things.

Not really the same thing as a Vita. Another strange interpretation by charizard.

Good price, but not really interested. What's the point? There are still a lot of Vita games not supported right? Seems like Sony has already lost interest in the Vita TV.

For the Vita yes, for the Vita TV no. I'd want it for the portability really, especially the case as it's mostly ports I could play at home in other ways!

@DrRockso87: Freedom Wars is okay. The core combat is really strong and the enemies are built in a way you can take full advantage of this. The most fun part is that your character often carries around a sword that allows you to sever enemy robot parts, which is cool as ****.

But the story takes all this potential and throws it down the fucking drain and the overworld is annoyingly static. The game also becomes more of a chore to play later on because the upgrade system is horrendously complex. I literally didn't use it the entire game and just played online with more skilled players to get past later missions.

It's not bad, but it's deeply flawed in parts. The combat being so fun is worth a pick up for under $20 for sure.

Damn, I thought it was just the Vita......I forgot about that tiny TV console.....NO THANKS.

If it was the original OLED Vita for $40, then I'll definitely budge.

Does it support PSN? (or SEN whatever), if so it could be worth it for the PS+ Vita games.

If the game's compatible you can redeem the [complementary] games. Nice way to get additional PS4 games every month as well if they're cross-buy.

Looks like the deal's only live for 4 hours. They were all snatched up in seconds and the waitlists are full. Managed to get one myself :)

I would have if I had not spent all my money on Majora's Mask and Monster Hunter today. Tough luck, Sony.

Having to buy a controller and those ridiculously expensive memory cards would have still brought the price above $100.
