I wish it had Vudu, and MGO. for the most part, it gets the job done. I am anxious to try the games out. A controller should be included or atleast be bought at 50% off for the the first one.

In general the user interface is good.  Sadly, it is not completely functional.  I am not able to burn DVDs with animated menus.  Magix support personnel responded by saying: "this is a known issue".  In other words, there is no fix at this point in time.

I like it  better  than the CIV V and  brings  back the  excitement when I had with  civ 3 and  below, but  still  miss the  stack  units

TV is great but software is not. It is not supporting a lot things such as Youtube. It makes life a little bit complicated.

its awesome not just with giving me Netflix and possible the only game system ill ever need in the future but more. however I have a few criticisms with the games 1. the game I downloaded gta vice city seems easier than the ps2 version and after awhile it would stop making the soun forcing me to uninstall it then reinstall it and have to start all over again. 2. I think its stupid having games like tic tac toe and flappy bird for this when you can play those any mobile device. 3. I hate that you have to scroll through a list  in order to find a game you may want to play and does allow you to search by typing the game in. 4. my final criticism is that there aren't that many games on it put games like the batman arham series or the kingdom hearts games and sales would skyrocket that and plus I don't want to spend like 500 dollars on a game system I may have to replace in a few years its getting ridiculous. but other than the gaming I have no problems with this

This is a review of the Single Play campaign since I don't play multiplayer so idk about that part. I was hoping for the variety of GoW III and was disappointed. I wanted to go underwater, fire the cannons on a gunship, solve puzzles like when you had to get the engine and fuel into the submarine in III. It was fun, but I paid way too much ( Ultimate Edition ) for what I got out of the single player.

The graphics, sound, weapons, and enemy AI are all top notch, they did a much better then with GoW UE  remaster where either I or my companions got stuck on the environment or had pathing problems.

What you get: MG 1 & 2 [in the MGS3 main menu]; MGS 2, 3 and Peace Walker on Disc 1 [All HD]; MGS4 on Disc 2; MGS, VR Missions and a graphic novel via digital download.

A quick review of each game, all of which I've played this year and after playing Phantom Pain.  Here's how they hold up. Nostalgia warning for MGS 1 and 2.

-MG 1: Definitely dated but still fun if you like 8-bit games.
-MG 2: Closer to modern games. Better graphics than MG 1. Introduced radar. Didn't finish either of these due to no nostalgia, time and I know the story.
-MGS: An all-time fav. Still a great game, great plot, memorable bosses/characters. It's the original graphics and the controls are a little off compared to today's MGS but I'd recommend it.
-VR Missions: Meh back then. Meh now.
-MGS 2: Still good gameplay. Improved graphics aren't amazing but not ugly looking. The plot and Raiden kinda bring it down but worth playing if you're into the series.
-MGS 3: Wow. I gave up on this one on a rental years ago because of the switch in style. I missed out...worth the challenge, great bosses, gameplay and a story that rivals MGS. Better than most games now, this has become an all-timer for me.
-MGS 4: Different gameplay. Sneaking is fun, but no you can run and gun if you want. Worst boss characters and an off-the-wall story. It's fun and worthwhile if you want to see the MGS series ending.
-Peacewalker: This was 1 of 3 I didn't finish. 1] It's a PSP game ported to PS3 so stripped controls, no crawling. 2] After playing MGSV, it just felt like a watered-down version of that game.

TLDR: Buy it, not used if you can. Game includes digital codes. If you have to buy used, play the original MGS somehow.

Ill give it five starts for its overall rating. It needs. Better instructions on how the software works and how the video is processed. It also needs more mounts to include tripod mounts. There isn't any. I had to modify a GoPro mount to work. I would also like to see better video out. Other than that the options on how you want your video to process is excellently fun.

I love this thing, seeming endless amount of channels to add, lots of content.  I also purchased the Western Digital media player, its nowhere as good as the Roku, not even in the same league.

This is a cool Little player, but HDMI cables are a must. I picked it as a gift, not knowing that I'll need to get a set of HDMI cables. The friends I got it for has an older TV and so I had to get a HDMI converter also. I simply thought they would give you an option on connecting it to legacy TV.

This was a refurb, and the w-less is still iffy. But, it does fine as a second player. It likes 720 better than 1080, too.

It's really a great app. I actually like it better than Windows Media Player so far. Time will tell but so far so good. Two things I would like to see it do:

1. Dock to the sides or top the way Winamp did so I have access to the player without it being in the way.
2. Give it the ability to add streams and podcasts via URL.

Setup: Pretty easy, but I'm into technology so I can't really say if it'd be easier for people who don't mess around with electronics much.

Quality:  The player plays great quality stuff and I am happy watching a movie in it from start to finish.  Everything else is a complete disaster. Note: I have a Samsung LCD/LED HDTV.

Button Locations:  On top and the touch sensative kind which drives me crazy. It's not awesome for where I have it, which is below my tv in a player space.  Sometimes it takes a few touches to get stuff to work.

Remote Control: What a horrible controller it came with.  It does not light up and the glow in the dark is only on the play/stop/fast/rewind type buttons and on nothing else (and doesn't even seem to glow at all).  The main buttons you use which are the ones I just mentioned are small compared to the number buttons which are double the size (why? I've never used them once).  It's got lots of buttons to work for my TV except...it doesn't have input.

Wireless: Yeah, cool. Updatss... I'll give you an example of what just happened to me, and why exactly I am writing this review in the first place.  A title I loaded had some kind of update so I said yes. 5 minutes later I notice nothing on my screen, no status screen, nothing...just seems to be causing my TV to read the signal and drop is over and over. Finally I decline the update...suddenly my player wants a completely different update, a firmware update.  All right player, you win. Let's get this over with I wanted to watch a movie to fall asleep to and it's been 15 minutes...let's just get this over with. Oh wait, the player decides to freeze at 6%. Power on/off now I have to restart.  Freezes at 12% WHAT!?  I have 20mbs fiber optic download speeds yet, how big can this update be? Is there a reason when I decline the update, my screen goes black and won't let me watch?  System doesn't even tell me how much the download is going to be. (It's close to 40 minutes since I put my movie in, but the update is completely wasting my time).  I'm so tempted to just the DVD version the blu ray came with. Solution: Had to just pull the dongle USB thing out of the back. Said Fox/Samsung both needed updates to watch it, yet here I am and it's working without those updates.  Sure may be good for some things, but poor implementation.

Pandora, Netflix, etc:  Well the player has been ultra slow why speed up?  These are slow and now annoying features.  I have an Xbox and Netflix works amazing on it.  Tons of options, shows new releases, all kinds of stuff and it's super fast.  On this player is slow and all you can see is what's in your que. Pathetic.

BD LIVE:  It's more like a Beta, nothing really cool about it to be honest. Gimmick.

Conclusion:  Samsung is among my favorite companies, but they sure disappoint me on this.  I bought this for $300 and regret it.  If you like pain, suffering, and waiting, by all means, purchase this.  Just don't give it away as a gift, you'll be hated.

I'd like to give this 2.5 stars really.
I've been buying Playstation devices since they started with the Playstation 1, I've been really happy with everything they've put out.  I wanted to have the ability to play my Vita games on the TV, with the nice bonus of using Netflix/Amazon and PS4 streaming.  It will play Vita games, but they are limited. I came in fully aware that some games are just never gonna be compatible (like Gravity Rush or Tearaway), but I was surprised that there are a good amount of games that are just missing (Sword Art being pretty disappointing, as well as Y's).
It's also missing just about every basic TV streaming option: Netflix,Hulu,Amazon and Youtube are all missing.  I have no doubt that we'll see this coming soon, but the fact that they chose to call this the Playstation TV (Vita TV in japan) boggles the mind when it doesn't steam shows.  Vita TV makes more sense because you get the idea that you are playing your Vita on a TV, Playstation TV just sounds like some Roku box.
It also streams your PS4, but that was a hit or miss experience for me.  I had less trouble with my Vita than the Playstation TV.
I'd say unless you absolutely have to play Vita games on your TV (check the list of compatible games first), you're better off investing into a actual Vita, and if you don't like the feel of it pick up grips for the Vita, it will make it feel like a PS3 controller.

In the future if they get the game compatibility up, better PS4 streaming, and all the major TV/Movie apps, this thing will be well worth the money.

I got this as a gift, and i made a movie for it(simple slideshow w/ music rendered) but it lagged out when playing vid files. it seemed fine running music and photo slide show seperatly though, so i will still give it three star.

A very nice poor man's Vive.  Though I have yet to find any phones with enough power to push smooth graphics, most stuff makes me sick after a few minutes from the low framerate.

It's an interesting device...but doesn't excel at 100% of anything it's supposed to do. It takes the Vita interface (which is odd without a touch screen), allows you to play Vita games..er...SOME Vita games.., streams multimedia..er..if you get it from Sony.. Hulu is in the works, but Netflix has flat out said they have no plans on support it, and you get access to an overpriced service called Playstation Now. A service that will remind you that used games are always a better option. It does, however, function pretty decently with the whole streaming/remote play experience, but in the end, that's not what you paid 100 bucks for. It could be a really REALLY awesome alternative to Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, etc, but seems to have incomplete features and the lack of basic Netflix is mind boggling. For what it CAN do, it should really be a $50 box. Just wait for them to get a price drop or go on sale if you're even considering it. And if you're looking for a Netflix device, this is not it.
