During their E3 media event Sony announced that the PlayStation TV would be coming West this Autumn, but sadly gave us no exact date, and only North American pricing.
Speaking today however, Sony have revealed that the little black box of tricks – which allows you to stream PS4 content to a remote TV or play Vita games on the big screen, as well as granting access to PlayStation Now services – will retail for £85 here in the UK.
Unfortunately, that RRP will get you a micro-console and not a lot else. There’s currently been no announcement of a DualShock or Memory Card being bundled, although we can expect to see these at a later date, as was mentioned during Tuesday’s conference. Retailers may well also create their own bundles, offering discounts to potential buyers this Christmas.

I’ll buy this for PS4 remote play in another room. I’ve been stockpiling vita games from PS+ just in case they’re compatible.
If I was using the same DS4 for PS4 and PSTV would I need to keep plugging it in via USB every time I switched, or can the same pad be paired to two systems?

Something weird just happened: I checked for PSTV on Amazon and found it available for pre-order for £54.99! Ordered it immediately, but now can’t find it listed anymore! I might have been lucky…

It’s listed again in Amazon, but the price is now £84.99.

I’d like to see a list of Vita games that are supported by it and I would need them to release Netflix, Amazon and BBC video apps for it and then I would be sold!
Great idea and a good price really, a Roku with brilliant games!
