The editors liked
Equal functionality and price as existing streaming set top boxes
Worldclass gaming pedigree
Cheapest game console on the market
PlayStation TV has an affordable starting price point
Works with existing DualShock 3 and 4 controllers and can play hundreds of games. It also offers game streaming from a networked PS4 or via PlayStation Now
And a handful of video services
Remote Play works great
Small form factor
Stream PS4 games
The editors didn't like
Proprietary and expensive memory cards
Unknown internals and partnerships
Game streaming unwise over slow internet connections
A surprising amount of content for PSTV is not available in HD
And the Vita's interface doesn't make a graceful jump to the big screen. Remote play is laggy in Wi-Fi mode and PSTV still relies on an expensive flash storage medium. Major streaming service
