This piece of hardware is small. Really small. Smaller than a deck of cards. It's features feel big and yet, not at the same time.
As sweet as it is to be able to play Killzone: Mercenary, Freedom Wars and the Persona games on your big TV set, the exclusion of Netflix is troubling. Luckily, more apps are coming like PS Now and PS4 Live Stream. The UI is the Vita's touchscreen interface which doesn't translate well on the television. Now controlled with a Dualshock 3 or 4, it feels unintuitive. Then you have Sony's insanely high priced proprietary memory cards required for the device, will just cause consumer's headaches.
PS TV feels like a glass that's half full or half empty, you decide. I love the slick design and small size. I had an extra 32gb card kicking around and loaded it up, via my Vita, with games and movies. I get joy out of the device and can easily throw it in my satchel. It's clearly aimed at PlayStation fans, those who are invested in its ecosystem and digital content.
If you're new, interested or curious, I recommend the $139.99 package. It comes with a PS TV, 8gb card, The Lego Movie game digital voucher and a Dualshock 3.
Now it's time to bust mine out to battle in the Freedom Wars. ;)
