I wouldn't mind another Playstation TV at that price.  Picked up a used one awhile back hoping to use CFW with it.  Might get a second one as a gift for my roommate. 

Not even sure if my local Walmart still even carries Playstation TVs anymore.  Haven't seen one since December. 

 

Then again I haven't really been looking for them.  Come on universal price drop!

Dont Wal-Mart's in store clearance pricing vary? I remember that happening when some were clearancing vita games

These weren't clearance tags.  Normal $29.96/$49.96 tags.

I think my store actually frequently marks clearance with normal tags (like they did when the PS TV dropped the first time...and was at different prices at different stores)...and the clearance prices often end in .96.  I'm guessing this is probably just the YMMV clearance on the system/bundle that's been going on for months.

Why is it this price at every store within ~100 miles of me then?

Huh.  According to brickseek, that price on the bundle seems to be at the stores near me, too...but, of course, no stores in 100 miles have one in stock.  And I do know that some stores had the bundle lower...for $44, I think...months back.  But maybe it really is a universal drop...if you can find one.  It looks like they're trying to drop the system altogether.  You can't buy them online anymore, and it looks like they're trying to purge them from stores.

Bought one last summer to replace the Vita I sold but sold it back after a month. Too many devices hooked up didn't use it. Maybe I'll do this one more time I dunno it is tempting

I've been on the fence with one of these for weeks now.  Does anyone know how that remote play works with the PS4 in a different room?  Also are the Vita games pretty good on a bigger tv?

Works off the internet connection.  You need a really strong one to use it.

 

Also, I prefer the Vita games on my Vita.

 

You can tell I don't like my PS TV very much, and I paid $50 for the DS 3 bundle lol

I think the vita games look great on the pstv, I enjoy it.

FYI, The codes for the included games (lego movie, Sly cooper) in this bundle expire 3/31/2016. At least those were the dates in my box.

They were marked as $69.99 clearance but rang up $49.96 at my store. Bought some for the controllers.

How did you find it on Brickseek?  I tried searching for "PS TV" or "Playstation TV"....wanna see if this is in stock near me before I head out to the store to find one at that price

I don't know how many people live in a state with a Meijer store but I bought the last PSTV bundle at two different locations (one for step-dad who didn't have luck finding one) for $49.99 on clearance.

EDIT: Nevermind, I couldn't figure it out either.

Picked one up... playing Valkyria Chronicles II on the TV is a real treat.

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 )

None in my area by those numbers.  :(   I might hold out for a model revision or a better bundle since I already have one.

Thanks OP.  Had to go to three different Walmarts to find the bundle.  First two were all out.  Third one was a little out of the way but they were fully stocked with several bundles and the PSTV solos.  

 

I am enjoying it so far.

CFW works on PSTV? Thought that kept messing up or so. Cause if it works fully.. Id be all for buying a 2nd one. I know remote play is decent enough when needed. Not to mention Vita on TV for RPGs.

I wouldn't wait on that.  Sony has realized what a fail it was.  I don't know why Sony didn't offer Netflix some sort of incentive to develop an App for it.  That would've helped sell units, for people who want to watch Netflix in a room that doesn't have their regular console.

Would sell more if Sony looks the other way while people mod it. Kinda glad I did that one email hack on it to unlock it to run all vita games on it.

That's a good hack because it doesn't allow you to run pirated games so I can't see why Sony would have an issue with it. I'm going to use it on mine and I heard it makes Netflix work as well? Not that it matters to me, I have no less than 3 devices hooked to each television I own that do Netflix streaming...

Just got back a little while ago from my local Walmart and the guy in electronics tried telling me that the price tag was correct. All I wanted was for him to check it and he didn't want to. He finally did and the bundle rang up for $50 while the price tag was still showing $99. Anyway, thanks op because I finally have a PlayStation TV

My sister in law was able to grab the last one for me at our Walmart. I think I'm going to let her keep it so she can play vita games also. Share the love.

This is still useable? I was about to hook up my Playstation TV just to (hopefully) play Breath of Fire III, and realized that my PSTV is on 3.30, and though maybe I shouldn't update till I look into "other" options. This method popped up in my search, and I'm thinking about trying it once I get a second memory card as I currently only have a 4gig which I'm not willing to format atm (which it is demanding I either do that or update to use my current card).

 

Honestly though, I'm thinking about picking up a second one just because.
