E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) kicked off this week and with it will come the βbigβ announcements from each of the three (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) major video game players. Β From the Sony press conference was the announcement of the Sony Playstation TV, which had been released in Japan last year, coming to North America this fall. Β Did the world really need another TV/streaming device though?
If youβre a gamer, the answer is an emphatic YES!! Β In addition to running the same Β apps as every other streaming device, the PS TV will also stream games through the Playstation Now service. Β This gives the user access to a huge back catalog of compatible Playstation 1-3 and Vita games. Β That alone is pretty cool, but this is called a Playstation TV, and it earns that name by also being able to stream a Playstation 4 game from your console to whichever TV the PS TV is connected to in your house. Β So for example, if the PS4 is in your living room, you can play your games on the bedroom televisionΒ if itβs hooked up to the Playstation TV. Β The Sony Playstation TV isΒ going to retail for $99 and is currently available for preorder through Amazon.

Naa, not until they learn to write a decent UI. The Sony UI is one of the ugliest and cumbersome UI’s I’ve ever used.
