sony playstation review part sony kotaku streaming box playstation tv microconsole

"What do you want the PlayStation TV to do for you?" That's an important question when considering purchasing Sony's new microconsole. A more important question might be "Do you know what the PlayStation TV is?"

I ask because over the past few days with the PlayStation TV, I've run into several people who had absolutely no idea. It is not a television. It is not a cable box. It is not a tablet or the latest teen singing sensation. So what is it?

The PlayStation TV is a small black box that connects to a television set via HDMI cable. Inside of that box are the guts of a PlayStation Vita handheld gaming system. It features a plug to connect to a wired network (built-in wireless as well), a USB port, a socket for the power adapter and two slots, one for a proprietary Sony memory card and one that accepts retail Vita games.
