Sony's joke to counter the 2DS?
It might not be compatible with all Vita games, but I feel kinda bad for whoever bought capture cards for their Vitas.

Re: PS Vita TV
It looks like it is Japan only at the moment, so it is not to counter the 2DS, but to counter the possibility that Apple may announce a set top entertainment box similar to this on Tuesday. It will not be compatible with Vita games that require touch input as the Dualshock 3 lacks those inputs.

I was just thinking wether this would work with capture cards or notMithrilMonarch wrote:http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/9/471008 ... ps-vita-tv

Re: PS Vita TV
It has HDMI output on it so you can use any capture card with a HDMI input to record.

Re: PS Vita TV
Yeah, a Hauppauge or an Elgato would work. Not sure if it'll have HDCP on it, but I've heard that HDMI switchboxes can bypass it for the PS3.
Re: PS Vita TV
Funnily enough, i bought a vita capture card the day before this was all announced. Do I regret it ? Nope.
All of the games i want wouldn't be compatible with it (LBP, Tearaway, Uncharted etc) and I know PS3's HDMI is protected so you can't record with it (with a large majority of capture cards, newer ones may have gotten around this) I can only assume PSVita TV would probably be the same.
This is a great bit of kit, kinda confusing who this is targeted at, as a lot of Sony's own IP can't be played on it, but hey, if you don't care about games that use touch/gyro/mic/camera Vita TV is awesome for youtubers, specially as its a great way to record PSP content (yes you can hack your psp like i have to record, but idk i find that super inconsistent)
Just my point of view. I also don't care about the new vitas, no added functionality aside from internal storage, which as I plan to import a 64GB card asap..
Let's hope i get my vita soon

Re: PS Vita TV
The new, lighter/thinner Vita also doesn't seem like a great idea. The downgrade on the screen is a turnoff, and frankly, for the power it offers I don't see the Vita as being that big.
Do not put Bacardi in my glass again and try to tell me it's rum.
