Walked into future shop and stumbled on these so naturally I had to buy them all.

I gotta be honest, I'm glad I don't live in the same city as you.

. I phoned everywhere when smash first came out looking for one of these. Then today I went to a futureshop I haven't been to in a long time and I saw these so I figuired why not they were cheap anyhow.

Ok. How much?

I got very lucky on eBay.
I have a backwards compatible PS3, And i have 4 memory cards for PS2/1

My PS3 is now my PS2/1 and I have been looking for a way to transfer my old saves.

The adapters go from $45-$50, and that is steep for a thing I'm only going to use once. I debated buying one and selling it, but was on the fence just in case I needed one in the future, and it is a good thing to keep with the system.

I have been sitting on it for a while, and I just decided to take another look because the one in my cart sold.



New, $7.00 + $3.65 shipping. New listing with 5 views. 

Instant buy.

If you find any purpose at all for the pstv let me know.  Mine is gathering dust.  Most of the games I wanted to play on it are incompatible.  Very disappointed.

3 of the 5 games i have work, 'uncharted' doesn't even register, and when i try to start 'resistance' it tells me its incompatible and wont start.

personally, I'm with you guys, totally stupid and virtually useless, reason for buying was I thought it might become 'rare', not one of those rare, super valuable items, just quickly discontinued and uncommon/talking point...

 I had one for a few hours because the Blu-Ray player in the bedroom isn't wi-fi and I was looking for a good device to stream Netflix. The guy behind the counter said it did in fact do netflix......it does not. Netflix has no plans of using their resources to support the device.

I'm hoping it gets hacked, and can use it for ps2/ps1 stuff off a memory card or somehow an external device.  Not sure even the hackers can be bothered with it though. Lol.  I have seen an exploit for putting psp roms on it, which I might try if nothing else comes up.

I might still pick one up if the price ever drops.  I would only be looking for the bare unit.  I don't need another controller or anything like that.

That actually look really cool! Mind if I ask how you went about doing that? I can definitely think of a few CD based translations I'd love to do that for.

Well then have no fear, all you get is the shitty device, power cord, and am HDMI cable

I meant as opposed to the version that came with a controller and game.  Then again, I could always sell the controller. 

I guess it doesn't matter, I'm not ina big rush to get it. 

You know what pisses me off?  The PS Vita was originally meant to have a video out connector like the later model PSPs, but they took this out of the design in order to make the PS TV.  To be honest, playing PS Vita on a large TV was the only thing I cared about.  If I could just run an A/V cable from the Vita to the TV and just use the Vita as a controller, I would be happy.  This would also mean that 100% of games could be played on a big screen.  Now, the only way to play the games on the big screen is with the PS TV, and most of the games aren't compatible.

I have a Casio CW-50 CD/DVD Thermal Printer.  They used to be very cheap but now they have gone up in price.

I paid $30 for mine on ebay band new in the box a few years ago.  My main goal at the time was to title Godzilla dvds.
