Yesterday, Amazon was selling the Playstation TV at 50% off for a limited time: $39.99 instead of $79. The Dualshock bundle was sold for $49.99. The deal sold out within minutes
I use it for several fantastic PSP games on TV. WipeOut Pulse, Ape Escape OTL, Medievil Resurrection, Syphon Filter Logan's Shadow, Pursuit Force, Parappa, etc.
Hey I bought it for 100 and don't even regret it. I'm not a mobile gamer, but a big JRPG and indie player..so just imagine my plight.
I keep it in my brother's room and we just chill and play JRPGs like when we were kids. Only now we can kinda see how stupid they are sometimes and just laugh. He actually just finished P4G. I'm still working on Tales of Hearts R (great game).
it's just that there aren't many ways to do it yet with low enough latency to provide a 1:1 experience but doesn't mean no one wants it!
Remote Play on the Vita and PSTV from the PS4 is doing a decent job especially on local network provided you have a good connection, but the latency is still there - not enough to ruin the whole experience but not ideal for high pace games requiring precision like Driveclub for example. I have both the Vita and PSTV and also Xperia Z3 tablets where I play my PS4 games when times allow and honestly, IT'S AWESOME! I'm excited with the improvement their next system will bring in terms of bettering the current Remote Play quality, but with what is currently on offer, I think I'm pretty satisfied.
I love mine, Lunar Silver Star is incredible on a 65". It fills the screen with no stretch or distortion. Same with Vita games. So glad I bought one. Didn't get the deal though but 100$ is worth it.
The thing about these Amazon super flash sales is that they come out of no where and you have to be in the right place at the right time otherwise an hour later, it could be gone.
The lightning deals are BS. After it sold out within 10 seconds, I had to go on the wait list for the bundle and it didn't update until I logged out and logged back in. If I never relogged I would of never got the bundle.
I went to Target because it sold out so fast and they wouldn't price match it. Then I went to Walmart and they did so I got it for only 40 and didn't have to wait for it to be delivered
I did it for the same reason. I could either pay $40 for a new DS3 or pay an extra $10 and get the PSTV, game, and 8gb memory card. Seemed like a no brainer to me. This is in addition to the fact that I already own (and love) a PSTV. I guess I now have a spare.
The hard part was actually getting it. I was on the site right as the deal became available, and I still missed out on the first round. I got put on the wait list and suddenly I got notified that I had 45 seconds to add it to my or miss out. I got lucky.
Agreed but I don't understand why Vita haters would hate this. Sure it plays Vita titles. But it also plays PSone titles and soon can be used with PS Now and of course can be used to stream your PS4 titles to. Which is what I use it for the most before bed I suppose.
By numbers suggested in the $50 deal, they were only offering around 500 units. So the $40 one was likely 1000. Across the US with probably more than few offers from other countries.
If you're not gonna mobile game, do it. Just make sure to wire the PSTV if you wanna do remote play. I remote played FFXIV at my friend's house down the street (PS4 at home and PSTV as my friend's was wired) and I was able to do end-game raids. Pretty awesome honestly.
Who'd not want that at $40? Lol
The thing about these Amazon super flash sales is that they come out of no where and you have to be in the right place at the right time otherwise an hour later, it could be gone.
I grabbed the bundle at 50. Needed a new DS3 so it ended up working out very well.
Now that is the perfect price for this. They should honestly just keep it at this price.
even at this price i don't see the point buying this, i got all my gaming needs covered
