PlayStation®TV system is a sleek and compact console with a universe of PlayStation games available for you to stream, download and play. Whether as a second console for your bedroom or the primary gaming system in your living room, PlayStation TV is an easy way for gamers of all ages and skill levels to enjoy playing games together.

Big family fun in a small console.

I saw the E3 reveal last night and it looks pretty cool.  A lot of companies seem to be doing this lately (or, at the very least Sony, Steam, and ), having the functionality to stream a game/service from a remote device and access it on a client machine.  

 

I could definitely see myself getting one or two of these when I get my PS4.  So many people have/had multiple PS3's, myself included, that it makes more sense to have a device like this that can essentially multiply a single console.  Only issue would be if you have multiple people that want to play different games, although I'm the only gamer in the house (for now) so that won't be an immediate issue.  Now it would be neat if you could play different non-disc based games simultaneously, or one disc based on the PS4 and still play a downloaded game from the PS4 on the PS TV.  Possibly too much processing power needed though.

It's been out for a while in Japan as the vita tv I believe. Looking forward to it here.

What is crazy is how I have held on to my Apple TV through all of this. For the most part we are an Apple house with Mac hardware (and at this point, all of my film and TV purchases are through Apple TV). The Playstation TV will be great, however, to connect my PS4 to the television I have in a separate part of the house for remote play on a larger screen. I wonder how it will later pair with the Vita (perhaps simply using the Vita as a controller for the PSTV/PS4 combo).
