PlayStation ® Vita TV & NEW PS Vita Slim and Bright!!!!

With the Tokyo Game Show just around the corner, Sony took to the stage during a press conference in Japan this morning and had plenty of PlayStation Vita goodies to announce. Not only has Sony introduced a brand new updated handheld, but it’s also taking the device to your TV with a brand new tiny box that looks set to take on Android-offerings like the Ouya. Meet the Sony PS Vita TV, a tiny PlayStation the size of your phone for your telly!

If you thought the Ouya was a bargain, wait until you see what Sony’s got in store for you. The brand new PlayStation Vita TV plugs into your TV and lets you stream Vita games right to your big screen, with card slots for your Vita games and memory cards – and you can control it all with a DualShock 3 controller. That’s not all it’s capable of though, as you’ll be able to use it with video streaming services such as Hulu and Sony’s own Video Unlimited, and you can expect Netflix to pop up too. The big news is that you can use it as an extender for PlayStation 4 games, letting you beam down your next-gen titles to your own screen thanks to the magic of Remote Play, which is sure to come in handy if a family member is hogging the PS4.

Currently, the Vita TV is set to launch in Japan on 14 November, priced 9,480 yen (£60) while there’s an additional bundle that includes a DualShock 3 and a 8GB memory card for 14,280 yen (£91) – fingers crossed it launches worldwide, as this could be the Ouya beater you’ve been waiting for.



Sony also announced an update to its PS Vita handheld with a brand new model that’s even slimmer and lighter than the first-gen Vita, and comes in white, black, blue, yellow, pink and olive green. You’ll find the new updated version comes with 1GB of built-in storage, a micro USB port for charging, a brand new LCD display, and even better battery life – Sony rates the new model to last an extra hour than the previous model, bringing up the total battery life up to six hours.

Sony has said that the new Vita will be launching in Japan on 10 October, but there’s currently no word on an international date just yet – we’ll be sure to keep you updated on the new Vita, as well as the Vita TV as soon as we know more.

Interesting bit of kit.

I may soon have to move out of my house to fit all the kit in
