Agreed! Luckily when I went the Wal-Mart near me, there was a rep with a scanner in the gaming department. It was a win win for me. That same store had about 10 or so stand alone systems.This x100. All employees at Walmart are useless without their scanners. I hate having to find an employee that works in any department and only seeing ones with a scanner. You ask them for something and they either point you in the wrong direction or attempt to do their job for once which leads to doing nothing.
All of this info was out there before you made your purchase. Just like the vita, the resolution is crap when remote playing. But, this thing does what it's supposed to do. Been using mine a lot to remote play Fallout 4 in bed before going to sleep. No complaints, works perfectly as it should. And I only bought mine for the cheap ps3 controller but have actually found a use for owning it. Much cheaper than buying a 2nd ps4 and a lot easier than moving mine room to room.Half of the Vita games do not work on it. When you stream your PS4 to it the graphics take a serious nose dive.
gl hftheres a 50% off target cartwheel coupon that would be awesome if you could price match and use
No.Does this come with a trial to PS Now? If someone isn't going to use theirs, can they PM me it so I can test out the streaming quality on my Vita?
I just checked the GameStop website. The system trades in by itself for $10. I don't know if you get more for being a Pro member or not. You might just want to hold onto the damn thing like other people said for PS4 streaming or just playing your Vita games on a TV. It's not like it takes up much space.Thanks, OP. Picked up one of these today like a few of you for the extra controller.
From what I can tell, it doesn't seem like I can expect too much from a trade-in of the pstv itself. If anyone has any numbers in this regard, I'd appreciate it. Or is there a good place to look to gauge what tiv might be?
Thanks again for the posts, help, and edumacation. Take care, peeps.

Darby, you should add this quote to the OP so people can find it easier.Here's the item number for the Walmart exclusive bundle with Sly:
39362121
And this is the item number for the regular dualshock bundle version without Sly:
38457128
Found two different item numbers for the standalone system, but they both showed up as item not available in my area, and they're both no longer available on the website...so not sure if either is valid (but here they are if you want to try: 35284538 45632054 )
Someone mentioned these codes as having an expiration date.. which was maybe a few months ago in another thread. Do the codes still work, or show when they expire?If anyone's still looking for just the system/cables and/or game codes from the bundle hit me up.
I remember someone saying that you can contact Sony's customer support if the codes have already expired.Someone mentioned these codes as having an expiration date.. which was maybe a few months ago in another thread. Do the codes still work, or show when they expire?
This might not actually be necessary. I believe Sony actually extended the expiration date on all of those codes. You should be able to just try the codes and see whether or not they work on PSN. Chances are good that they will simply work.I remember someone saying that you can contact Sony's customer support if the codes have already expired.
Yeah, I didn't know for sure. I'm giving my stepdad the Lego Movie bundle I bought for his birthday because he's been looking for a cheap entry to the world of PlayStation, so that's good to know. I got my PSTV early last year for free with my PS4 purchase at GameStop. But, in all honesty, my Ouya gets more play time than my PSTV although I'm planning to buy the Vita version of Jet Set Radio for $4.99 from this week's PSN sale. I'll buy pretty much any port from the Dreamcast era.This might not actually be necessary. I believe Sony actually extended the expiration date on all of those codes.

Off topic but, has the ouya gotten any better. I have had mine packed away since i dont remember when. I just couldnt seem to get into it.Yeah, I didn't know for sure.

Well, I'm pretty certain that the company behind the OUYA already closed up shop and sold all of their assets. Thankfully, the OUYA itself was always open/hackable. So you can do whatever you please with the hardware and the software. But as a general platform it's pretty much dead. It got a little better before that happened.Off topic but, has the ouya gotten any better.
The Ouya Store is still alive since Razer bought the assets, and indie games are still showing up on it (a dev on Reddit mentioned that he had a new game ready for release on it), but the sun has nearly set on Ouya. The big punch to the gut, though, is that the games are typically more expensive on the Ouya Store than they are on Google Play. But I would still say that I replay the Ouya games more than the ones I have on my Vita/PSTV. I'm sure I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but give me Ice Rage, Knightmare Tower, Super Crate Box, Busted, and Maldita Castila over anything on PSTV any day. And yes - even Persona 4 Golden.Off topic but, has the ouya gotten any better. I have had mine packed away since i dont remember when. I just couldnt seem to get into it.
I just picked up a copy of the Lego Movie PSTV bundle last week and the code expiration was listed for March 31, 2016. However, I had no problem redeeming them (~May 5) and the games worked as intended. Amazing deal for 29.99.I remember someone saying that you can contact Sony's customer support if the codes have already expired.
Yeah, after enough people bitched to Sony they just reactivated all the codes.I just picked up a copy of the Lego Movie PSTV bundle last week and the code expiration was listed for March 31, 2016.

You must be living in nowhere or they found a missing pallet in the storage.I saw a huge stack of PSTVs at my Walmart bundles and stand alones. Priced 20 and 30 bucks. I might have to grab one at that price.
The $20 just includes the system and necessary cables. The $30 bundle includes an 8GB memory card.Sorry late to the party. What type of memory card does the $20 and $30 bundle come with?
It's a proprietary memory card. So if you buy one, get the $30 bundle otherwise you are stuck with the built in 1gb of storage which with software updates and stuff it doesn't leave much room for anything.Sorry late to the party. What type of memory card does the $20 and $30 bundle come with?
its a very busy area were pretty much all the shopping and stores in the county is located.You must be living in nowhere or they found a missing pallet in the storage.
All of PSTV were gone in any Walmart near me for at least 4 months (I picked up the last 3 from 2 Walmart when the bundle were still $50)
I second this.I have two codes for both LEGO Movie and Sly Cooper if anyone is interested in trading or paypal for it.
PM'dIf anyone is still looking for 16GB cards, I picked up a few extras the other day.
Same.Could someone sell me a $30 bundle if they pick up an extra one? Can't find any around me.
Will pay shipping plus a few extra bucks for it
