Useless for PS4 streaming (wired or wifi connection).
Pretty good for PSNow streaming.

Unfortunately not the case for everyone....it seems to work flawlessly for some but not others and £28 @ CEX as an alternative.

Good price but a useless piece of kit. Heat added. :smiley:

Arguable I guess, I sold my Vita abut a year ago but have a hankering to play P4G & some PS1 classics, £28 (+extortionate proprietary memory card) could be just the ticket, especially if I have games to trade in at CEX.

No, not at all - for you maybe :smirk:
I love my PSTV, & don't use it as a streaming device. I play Geometry Wars 3, Gravity Crash, TxK on a large screen.
For these games alone it is worth a punt, if like me, you prefer gaming on a larger display.
It is an incredible piece of kit when you stop for a moment & think what this tiny little plastic box is generating at minimal power output, with very little heat build-up.
We take far too much for granted.

It's able to play PSP, PS1 and Emulators, as well as Vita games so it's far from a "useless piece of kit".

Been having one since release but used it for two days only. The memory cards are just so expensive for this, the device is not handheld, so I am stuck to my vita for everything and if I want to play on the TV, I've got the PS3 which will do the rest of the job for me. Really, these are so limited in functionality that I would consider them as "useless".

It's all personal opinion, for some they just use it to stream the PS4 to another TV and it works for some flawlessly but not others, it's a 'suck it and see' product depending on your needs, one persons experience doesn't make it so....for everyone else.

I found one of these to be pretty useless for streaming. If you are playing a turn based game its probably ok, but otherwise the input latency is way too high This was with a wired connection as well.
It' s since just gathered dust :disappointed:

No interest in playing Vita games on it? For me that's absolutely the draw to the product over playing the PS4 in a different room.

Bought one of these last month had a quick shot downstairs from my ps4 which was wired and the PS Tv wifi, worked well. I'm on 160meg down 10meg up so that'll help. For people with slow internet it might be an issue

They should just remaster Persona 4 to PS4 and theres rumours of PS1 classics coming to PS4.

For all of these you don't need an extra device. All of these can be played on any emulators. Believe I own it and didn't touch it after first week.
