Geekisms!

Yesterday at its pre-TGS (Tokyo Game Show) conference in Japan, Sony announced the PS Vita, a micro-console which allows you to play PS Vita and PSP games on your TV using your PS3's Dualshock controllers. Apart from playing games, you'll also be able to stream video from sites like Hulu and possibly YouTube too.

Announced along with a new, smaller PS Vita, the Vita TV will also allow you to play PSOne games and PS4 games via its remote play feature. However not all Vita games will work on it because of games which make extensive use of the Vita's touchscreen features (which this console obviously doesn't have). Maybe they'll find a way to make the DualShock 4 work with it so we can make use of its touchpad.

Release date is set for November 14th in Japan ( and eventually other parts of the world), the Vita TV will cost about $100 for the basic version and $150 for a special edition that comes with an 8GB Vita memory card and a wireless controller.
