Posted by SignOfZeta on July 20, 2015 at 20:16:38 EST in reply to 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. (n/t) from Millergram and Opa Opa.
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).
