\n\t\t\t\t\"PlayStation\u00aeTV\"\"PlayStation\u00aeTV\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tTokyo, June 10, 2014<\/strong> – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today introduced PlayStation\u00aeTV (PS TV), an affordable entertainment system that will enable users to easily enjoy various game content and PlayStation\u00ae4 (PS4TM) remote play on their TV at home. PS TV will come in \u201cBlack,\u201d and will be available in North America, Europe and the PAL region this Fall at a recommended retail price (RRP) of just $ 99, \u20ac 99 for a standalone system. In addition, a bundle that includes a wireless controller (DUALSHOCK\u00ae3), 8GB memory card, and The LEGO\u00ae Movie Videogame<\/em> from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will be available at $139 in North America.<\/p>\n

This product was released in Japan and other Asian regions as PlayStation\u00aeVita TV (PS Vita TV) on November 14, 2013, and has proven to be popular with consumers looking for a convenient, easy-to-use gaming system. Since its initial release, PS TV has continuously evolved through system software updates and content enhancements. Adopting the same chip
\nsets and system software as the PlayStation\u00aeVita (PS Vita) portable entertainment system, PS TV comes in an ultra slim size (6.5cm \u00d7 10.5cm), the smallest of all PlayStation\u00ae platforms that connect to a TV. In response to the demands from users in North America, Europe and the PAL region, SCE will introduce the system under a new name and color, and will deliver entertainment experiences only possible on PS TV.<\/p>\n

Main features of the PS TV system are as follows;<\/p>\n

PlayStation\u00ae4 (PS4\u2122) Remote Play<\/h2>\n

As with PS Vita, PS TV supports PS4\u2122 Remote Play and Wireless Controller (DUALSHOCK\u00ae3 or DUALSHOCK\u00ae4). This will allow PS4\u2122 users in the living room to continue playing a game on a PS TV system in their bedroom. PS4\u2122 users can also enjoy most of the PS4\u2122 games on PS TV with excellent operability as if they are playing it on their PS4\u2122 system*1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

PlayStation\u00ae3 (PS3\u00ae) games through PlayStation\u2122Now<\/h2>\n

PS TV users will be able to access the PlayStation\u2122Now open beta service that will be available by the end of this year in North America and at a later date in Europe and the PAL region. PS TV users will be able to comfortably enjoy PS3\u00ae games via streaming, by using Wireless Controller (DUALSHOCK\u00ae3 or DUALSHOCK\u00ae4).<\/p>\n

Vast lineup of software titles available for download or via game cards<\/h2>\n

PS TV offers a vast lineup of over 1,000 software titles*2<\/sup> from select PS Vita games, PSP\u00ae (PlayStation\u00aePortable) games and PS One classics, including titles such as Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes<\/em> (Disney Interactive), Minecraft<\/em> (Mojang\/4J Studios), God of War\u00ae: Collection<\/em> (SCE WWS), and Killzone\u2122 Mercenary<\/em> (SCE WWS). Users will be able to enjoy all of these titles using the Wireless Controller (DUALSHOCK\u00ae3 or DUALSHOCK\u00ae4). Users can download games directly to the system through the PlayStation\u00aeStore, or insert a PS Vita game card directly into the device.<\/p>\n

Fun and Unique features of PS TV<\/h2>\n
