Can never update my PS4, because I'd lose P.T. Silent Hills, and therefore won't be able to sell it for $10,000 twenty years from now.

After shutting off WiFi on like 15 different things in my house (multiple PS3s, a 360, a 3DS, a Wii U, Macbook, iMac, my phone, my tablet, two smart TV's, a fucking printer) I was finally able to get remote play to work, in HD, with the high frame rate. Despite that both the PS4 and PSTV are connected to the hotspot by wireless. No more cut outs or pixelation. But just the slightest bit of lag. Once I get a 75FT ethernet cable it should be flawless. Total 100% turnaround from the first time I remote played on a proper hand held Vita and games were like 240p blurry and a second behind. Now a twitchy game like Rocket League works fine. No different if the PS4 was in the same room.

I only paid $25 for it used at GameStop, so between having occasional remote play, being able to watch Live From PS streams without turning on the PS4, Persona 4 Golden which I got for like $10 on PS+ sales, and having something to play some unique PSP games that were never remade for PS2/3/4, I've got my money's worth out of it.

It is terrible the less than bare minimum work Sony put into it. Like they're making a PS4 Tear-Away, therefore they know how to DO that game without the touch screens. So why not implement the change to the Vita version? As BombCast mentioned, some games didn't even make use of the touch screen and were never given the OK to work with PSTV. Despite having backwards compatibility with PSOne and PSP, some PSP/PSX games aren't available, and not ones that used peripherals either. And despite being advertised as a Roku style device it only does Hulu and Crackle.

Maybe if PSNow turns out okay, and fixes the terrible lag (or America's internet speeds finally increase for the first time since 2001) (50Mbps speeds are actually turbo boots for a second or two for web pages, for things like streaming, my alleged 50meg connection is more like 8Mbps) the PSTV will suddenly be really useful.

What a weird "event". Almost nothing on sale, only a limited quantity is put for sale (everything is already sold out. which is weird. real stores can sell out. their supply should theoretically be unlimited. if x number of people want to buy so and so ps4 game, the publisher would gladly print more copies for them.) Sale prices are still higher than what you can regularly find stuff for (like 32GB memory cards for $25). And the things on sale are super obsolete, like iPhone 4 cases and clock radios.

I'm wondering what type of preview of 10 Jeff seems to be using as his primary OS (logging into Steam and playing games on). Because the free preview edition I was about to sign up for blatantly said it has a keylogger and goes out of its way to say, "anything you type including pass words WILL be used in our marketing". The way they worded it was like at press conference demo rooms and stuff when showing the media how Surface/Holo/10 stuff like note taking would work they're purposefully using the real notes random beta testers typed in.
