playstation-tv-01

During the social, sharing, now is your bathroom break part of Sony’s conference, we finally got some news on Playstation TV (once known as Playstation Vita TV), which at one time seemed like it was going to stay in Japan exclusively – but has seen a resurgence as of late. At E3, it was announced that the new device will be priced at $99 for the U.S. and Canada, with a bundle featuring a LEGO The Movie: The Game, a Dualshock 3 controller, a HDMI cord, and a memory card.

While it was only announced that “most” Vita titles will be playable, with the PS Classic catalog and the ability to play Playstation 3 titles through the Playstation 4 on a separate television, its easy to say this will be the thing to watch out of this year’s event for Sony. You add programs like Netflix and Hulu to this device, and we might be seeing the digital box break down some walls and allow us to finally toss those Rokus out the window.

Sony brought the heat with tons of gameplay trailers at it’s E3 2014 presentation for it’s upcoming list and one of the highlights was the debut of the Batmobile in action in Batman: Arkham Knight.

You can watch Batman and the Batmobile tear it up in the gameplay video embedded below.

Sony were happy to announce that the game would contain exclusive content on PS4, with PlayStation users getting access to bonus Scarecrow Nightmare missions but the actual content of those missions remains a mystery. The game is expected to release in 2015 after a delay was announced a couple of weeks back.
