Earlier today, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe confirmed the final details regarding PlayStation TV and it’s forthcoming release on 14th November 2014. As we all knew, the micro console is based on the 2000 series PS Vita hardware and connects directly to any TV with a HDMI input and will have a retail price of £84.99 / €99.99. Sony have now confirmed that the unit – like the 2000 series Vita – will come complete with 1Gb of onboard storage meaning that the console will be ready for use right out of the box without the need for any additional memory cards.
Bundled with it will be a voucher for three digital games from the PSN Store – Velocity Ultra, Worms Revolution Extreme, and Olli Olli – all critically acclaimed titles and a surprising lineup as many were expecting more mainstream games to be included.
There is still some frustration amongst the hardcore PS Vita fanbase over the console’s name and the focus of its marketing on the PS4 Remote Play functionality rather than the fact that it is a TV-based PS Vita (and the dropping of the Vita TV name) but if the console is to succeed then this could be the best way to get into people’s homes as a low cost companion system to the PS4 while still showcasing the PS Vita’s catalogue along with the legacy of classic gaming that it offers.
No mention has been made yet regarding PlayStation Mobile compatibility in the EU (although we assume that this will be present as it is in Japan) but Sony have confirmed that you can use your existing memory cards as long as the PlayStation TV is registered to the same PSN account as your Vita.
More games are being patched to be PlayStation TV compatible over the coming months, but this is the current PS Vita list as provided by SCEE:

A larger list is available with details of PSP, PS One and Minis and we’ll bring you more details shortly. If you want to help us bring you the best PlayStation TV coverage possible, please support our campaign to expand our site coverage here:- http://www.gofundme.com/5zgkbk
Raptor – RPG, Ocean craft multiplayer (released this week hopefully) and Hill Cliff Horse on PSM are all Playstation TV ready 🙂 still need some minor adjustments once i get my hands on one, but they are playable with the controller when no touch screen is present 🙂
Once we can get our own PlayStation TV systems for the site, we’ll be updating our PlayStation Mobile guide to make sure that we can let everyone know exactly what does / doesn’t work because I have a feeling that Sony will overlook PSM (again) when putting all of these lists out with regards to what works on the PS TV…
Shame WipEout 2048 isn’t on that list as it can be played without the touch controls etc – I guess it just needs a patch to ghost out the unavailable control options!
Here’s that complete list with the PSP Digital, Minis and PS One classic digital games included: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014/09/22/playstation-tv-release-date-price-full-list-compatible-games-2/
I think what is going to hold some games back isn’t the games themselves but the UI. WipEout’s problem is the menu system although that could be fixed with a simple patch to add d-pad / analogue stick navigation.
There are a few PlayStation Mobile games like that as well. Sixty Second Shooter is a prime example. The game itself only uses the two analogue sticks but you can’t get to the game without navigating a touch screen menu system… and it’s frustrating because it’s one of the best PSM shooters out there!
