So has anyone here gotten the small Vita game playing device Playstation TV? They are pretty cheap these days and can be hacked to play ROMs even.
 
They were pretty much dead on arrival across the world really, took off a little in Japan but still wasn't great. Sony don't even talk about it anymore. I have no faith in buying one, would probably rather buy a Vita but not even sure about them.
 
The PlayStation TV can be pretty good if you just want to play a few Vita games, but don't want to buy the more expensive Vita, and prefer a bigger screen to play games.

But, I feel buying a Mini PC like the Intel Compute Stick or Zotac mini PCs, or laptop, and hooking it up to a TV with a HDMI cable would be better for ROMs because PC support more emulators, play flash games like Tetris, Pac-Man, Space invaders, and Pong on PC web browsers like Firefox and Chrome, and you can buy classic console and PC games on Steam, Gog, and other online downloadable games store.
 
I never picked one of those up. Really haven't heard much about them either, don't seem too popular. I may pick one up soon as it'd be cool to stream my PS4 to different rooms, and play some Vita games.
 
To be honest it's not a device that I intend to be linking up either, and I'd say that pretty much sums up other peoples attitudes towards it aswell.

I think even Sony themselves have given up promoting the device for now, and I wouldn't be surpassed if it slowly just faded away. While I wouldn't go as far as to say it's been a flop, it's certainly not been a device that Sony can put down as a huge success either.
