wait a minute... the Vita TV is an actual console? I had been confused and thought it was something used to stream the Vita to TV. The fact that it's an actual console is very interesting actually.

With the DS4? Probably. You can probably just press R2 or L2 to switch between front screen and touch screen for the touch actions.....at least that's how I would do it.

It was just an observation/comparison. Or maybe just a 3DS that isn't an attachment but you need the GamePad. For $99 I'm betting the Vita TV does not come with a controller either, it is meant to be a companion, hooked up with the PS4 or not.
There is a bundle for roughly $50 more that comes with a Dual Shock 3 and 8g Vita card.

Make it run Team Buddies and you got yourself a deal.

That sounds like it could work...

It won't work for games that require you to touch a specific spot on the front screen. But for most games it should be fine.

That is not a bad deal with that card attached to it. Hadn't seen anything about that one yet.

I guess I'll just wait and see how well it all works before I decide.

Now I'm not sure whether I want the new model Vita or the old one. I guess it will have to wait until the reviews are out - no one's sure about the quality of the LCD screen yet.

That Vita TV looks cool, but I already have several game consoles, including a PS3, next to mine. I'll be sticking with handheld.

Anyone getting Valhalla Knight 3 in a couple of weeks? As soon as I seen XSeeds lineup I bought the Vita.

Hoping Monster Monpiece and Dragons & Samurai get ported to the US as well!
