Act fast for arguably one of the best video game peripherals we’ve ever seen.
RELATED: Sony “PlayStation 4 E3 2014” Recap
Earlier this week on Monday, we were first introduced to the Sony’s remote play peripheral, PlayStation TV. Last year, a similar component PlayStation Vita TV was released over the holiday season to bring Vita handheld games to your TV sets. Like demonstrated during the E3 media briefing from, PlayStation TV will allow you to plug-in-play on any HD set in your house through local Wi-Fi to stream content from PlayStation 4 consoles to the TV of your choosing.
So when company comes over or if you just want to sneak out of the bedroom with your significant other for a late night gaming session, the device will essentially act as a second console in another room. This device in particular will be extremely convenient with gamers who have a vast digital lineup in comparison to having to get up every time to swap out discs. If you’re budget allows you to do so, the digital wave is something to be on right now.
Later this year, Sony will also be releasing their on-demand PlayStation Now service, allowing users to stream hundreds of their favorites to various Sony-branded devices including PS3, PS4, PlayStation Vita, PSTV and select Sony HDTV’s.
The main features of the PS TV system are as follows:
PlayStation 4 remote play: As with PS Vita, PS TV supports PS4 remote play and Wireless Controller (DUALSHOCK 3 or DUALSHOCK 4). This will allow PS4 owners in the living room to continue playing a game on a PS TV system in their bedroom. You can also enjoy most of your PS4 games on PS TV as if you were playing it on your PS4 system*.
PlayStation Now: Once PlayStation Now is rolled out across the PAL region, PS TV users will be able to comfortably enjoy PlayStation 3 games via streaming.
A vast line-up of software titles: PS TV offers a huge library of PS Vita*, PSP and classic PS One titles. You’ll be able to enjoy all of these titles using a DUALSHOCK 3 or DUALSHOCK 4 controller.
Disclaimer: Games requiring PlayStation Camera are not compatible.
** Since PS Vita is equipped with special features not supported on DUALSHOCK 3 or DUALSHOCK 4, such as touch screen, rear touch pad, motion sensors, camera, electronic compass and microphones, not all PS Vita games are playable on PS TV. Supported titles differ by country and regions.
Amazon Pre-order: PlayStation TV ($99.99) or PlayStation TV DualShock 3 Bundle ($139.99)
