Playstation TV on Sale for 20 dollars at Best Buy.

This was one of Sony's failed little experiments.  It'll play PSP, PS Vita and PS one games as well as stream PS3 games.

Why would you want this?

Well via a very simple hack it'll play ALL psvita games and since nobody wants a vita, you can buy the few gems available for that doomed portable and play them on your tv. 

I'm just giving a heads up.

I remember when it first came out everybody was ranting and raving about it. What a difference a year or so makes.

The necessity of proprietary memory cards always killed this thing for me.

$20 in hand if BYOAC members can confirm it's worth it.

Well it comes with one memory card. 

The real question is which version of firmware is on it.  I didn't know this when I posted, but apparently Sony eventually patched the exploit..... why they would do that to a dead product is beyond me.  But assuming you can hack it... all psp games work and all vita games work (except the ones that use motion controls obviously).  You can download ps one games as well via the psstore.  That might be hackable as well.... I don't keep up on Sony stuff too much.

Is it the bundle? If so, it's worth it for the controller alone.

I looked into it last night and decided it wasn't worth it. Shame really.
