The Vita TV serves double duty, both as a device for streaming media options such as Hulu to your television and also as a stationary Vita analogue. The Vita TV is said to support 1,300 games from the Vita, PSP and other, older Sony platforms, as well as support for the PS3's DualShock 3 controller. Though the selection of compatible titles is slated to grow over time, on debut (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/09/09/vita-tv-will-support-more-than-100-ps-vita-retail-games-at-launc/), the system will support standouts like Persona 4 Golden (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/persona-4-golden/) and Lumines: Electronic Symphony. Further, the Vita TV will also support Remote Play with either PlayStation 3 titles that support it, or the upcoming PlayStation 4.
You can find full technical specs on the Vita TV in our story (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/09/09/playstation-vita-tv-announced/) on the device, or if you'd prefer moving pictures, YouTube user "RedSunGamerTV" offers anunboxing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiKdoqmxbwE&feature=youtu.be) video. Currently, the Vita TV bears a price tag of ¥9,945 (about $100). Sony has yet to announce a Western release for the Vita TV, so if you plan to import one, expect to pay a bit more.
