I got one for $40 too, thinking I could just live with playing most of my Vita carts and just push my saves to the cloud for syncing with my Vita. Ugh, my PSN account limits how many systems I can have registered. I think my PSPGo is registered so maybe I can untether that (if I can figure out how to do it). Anyway, yeah, big disappointment, even at this price.

Posted by NeoGutsman on July 30, 2015 at 02:02:29 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.

I think what really shot Sony in the face was the back touch screen and having to be beholden to it for compatibility. You can assign touch points on it and the front screen to remap PS1 buttons, but I'd rather have four shoulder buttons of some sort. Tearaway is so charming in its use of the back panel but by and large I think it was a feature that wasn't worth including. Kudos on the two analog pads. I think they're pretty good overall. For what it's worth, I love the Vita. I just hate the expensive proprietary memory cards and the inability to download certain PS1 and PSP games directly (some I have to download to the PS3 then to the Vita via cable).

Yeah, the Vita's dual analogs are just the best. I wish I had more games to play that use both of them. I have never experienced worthwhile rear touch though. I have a few games that have very lame tacked on excuses for it, but nothing that makes any sense. I don't even get what good it was ever supposed to be. Maybe it helps with FPS somehow?
