I got one of these as a Christmas gift from my Wife. I think my first thoughts was about the size of the thing, so tiny. I have 10 games that are compatible out of my collection, about %50. I have a few digital games that I have on my Vita which can be played on the PS TV. Also have tried Crackle app, streams good with wifi.
I really like what it does and I see it as a good companion to the Vita. I am not sure I can recommend this to just anyone. It is nice even though it is not 100% compatible. And it will never be a Roku, having been marketed as such by Sony. Its limitations places it in a category of a niche market piece of technology that only appeals to a small group of consumers. It had good potential to be great. And because of Sony the PS TV will never flourish beyond its current capabilities. I love it.
I think this little set-top box is crashing & burning fast. The price drop from $100 to $39 since last year tells it all. And I think it is due to Sony not giving it the support it needs. But that is not surprising, they have a reputation for doing that to their handheld technology.
