Posted by Millergram and Opa Opa on July 18, 2015 at 23:18:47 EST in reply to Dang. The Playstation TV is a pretty big fuckup. Did you know you can't watch Netflix on one? That's just fucked. I can watch Netflix on my DSi. I can't understand why they waited 11 months between US and JP releases and yet still did such a bad job of the U.S. version that there really is no way it could have been anything but a huge flop. Talk about a doomed company on autopilot...even at $40 I don't think it was a good deal. I do feel glad that I bought it though, since hackers will eventually make it the product it should have been all along. It only sucks now because of Sony's inability to get out of their own damned way. from SignOfZeta.
As someone who knows nothing about video games anymore, all these Sony products you guys talk about remind me of Sega in 1994...and I'm just as confused as yer gramma.

Not wanting to be yer gramma at all, I just red up a bit on this stuff and from what I can tell my phone can play PlayStation Mobile games. Apparently my HTC phone is PlayStation Certified™! Does this mean I could have bought Oh, Deer! three days ago? Or is there some games on PlayStation Mobile that only support some of the supported devices.

It's *kinda* like that, but the Sega of 1994 was still just a game company and everything you bought, even if it was some hella dumb shit like a 32X CD version of some crap sports game, it all still worked. You put the game in and it worked. Now that all these devices are designed to do so much more in so much more complex ways, when they fall on their face it's also in complex ways. After hooking this system up and realizing how much regular Vita stuff didn't work on it I wondered if maybe I shouldn't just set it on the shelf and wait until someone tells me something cool I can do with it because I can't honestly see why I shouldn't just be using an actual Vita or a PS3 for any tasks that the PSTV can do. I can play Pinball Arcade on it, but it looks much worse than the PS3 version and isn't portable like it is on an actual Vita. Early on, apparently, you could actually download Netflix, but it wouldn't run, now it's not in the store at all, neither is YouTube, but Hulu is (requires subscription).
