PlayStation TV vs Nexus Player vs Fire TV, what's your pick?

With $100 set top boxes like the Sony PlayStation TV offering serious gaming cred, is it actually worth it to buy one of these 'consoles' like the Amazon Fire TV, Asus / Google Nexus Player?
Being able to play PS Vita games along with PS1 Classics, PSP titles and PS3 and PS4 games via PlayStation Now and PS4 Link streaming is a huge plus for the PlayStation TV but with both the Fire TV and Nexus Player running a version of Android it's not as simple as how many games you've got.

Becky Staggs Does the ps3.... work?
it is definetly second hand
Or just get a used PS3/360
You might even find a used ps4/xbox one

Same
same how did that happen
Same lol
xd
Same
Back when "Hey guys, this is Austin" still existed. Good ol' times.
I always laughed because in my mind it registers as" Hey guys this is exhausting"
Ye
And also actual content
Why the hell am I watching this. I have a ps4!
I'm watching this on a £2000 ish gaming machine. I'm just curious about low end hardware XD
you can stream your PS4 to it so you can play it in another room without moving the console
Yeah not to sound cocky as well lmao but I'm on a £1400 gaming pc and I'm upgrading to a gtx 1080 but I'm still interested in most hardware
Poison Seem cool? I said I'm getting one I currently have a gtx 970 and I'm not trying to brag I've been saving for 6 months for this so shh
Poison Hating bitch
Just buy an used PS3 and pre-owned games. You can get all of that with about 100$.
I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure it would be a little more than $100
IntroMaster HD Well yeah, but still under 150-200 bucks.
IntroMaster HD
Naaleppi Pelaa i did about a week ago and i wanna jailbreak it later
Jack Axus well, it's dying anyway so it's pretty much normal for an old console like ps3 or xbox 360, but it's bad on a newer. onsole like ps4. by the way in my country we can't buy from the online stores like the ps store
*watches video*
*about to buy*
*ps4 barges in*
Ps4: WHAT ARE YOU GETTING
Me: UH... UH..... I CAN EXPLAIN
Lol
*Should have bought your membership*
Why go for burgers when you have steak waiting at home?
LL5 For me it was 2020
*lol*
stuff:
when a console is new: BOI DIS EXPENSIVE
when a console is old: yay it’s cheaper now
when a console gets even older: boi why is it back to being expensive again? AND it’s even more expensive
Well one of the reasons is limited supply and in the case of the Vita TV has a lot of cool stuff people have managed to add in.

The PSTV is literally $4 at EB Games in Australia. Holy hell that's a deal, even in 2017.
Did ever get it?
Get like 10 keep it in the box then wait for it to go up in value and profit
Lol we live in Australia
the fuck? i would buy all of them and sell the controllers.
Too bad they don’t serve a purpose anymore
*_The Raspberry Pi is angry_*
Cue duel of Fates
Haha raspberry pi your less hd
Haha
Rasberry Pi is for coding not as a console so you’re wrong.
@@markler2976 its like a desktop
Every single sentence you say, Has the same exact tone. You start on the same note and end on the same note. It sounds like you are speaking in the same exact way but swapping out words.
Zeaig Holy shit you sir are absolutely goddamn right 😂
Is that not how everyone talks like?
My guess is he's reading what he needs to say. I have the same habit when I read sometimes.
I got a PlayStation ad
Lol
Ok
TH-cam does that it’s Not really a coincidence
I got an Xbox one
he speaks with a pattern and it drives me fucking insane
EXACTLY
His content is really good, but the speaking pattern kills it everytime. Sorry Austin,
read this comment in the beginning of the video..., never stop noticing the pattern..., just noticing the pace.... just like this.... many fade out pause... so....
no offense to the guy though.
good info about the stuff he shows but i just can't listen to him
Nashor pattern ? I don't know what that means
"serious firepower" Quad core intel Atom. *Laughing so hard*
Sebastian Von Kebab it’s firetv no firepower
Shehryaar syed you didnt understand what he said, did you?
I was sure I'm not the only one who laughed at that
@@kyoto3695 umm.. nope I don't watch the full video
I thought Apple taught us it’s not the always about the specs but what you do with them that matters .
Back in then when youtube wasn't a thing, gamecubes were at around for $99.
Ps5 Comes out
TH-cam: LET'S PUT THIS ON YOUR RECOMMENDATION
What do you think about the 60p? It's actually a mix of on camera stuff being in 30p (like I've always done) along with the on screen gameplay and video running at 60p.
Which of these babies would you recommend for a movieholic?
it was awesome!
also there was 60p in the b-roll....
60fps everything
you mean your camera actually don't have 60fps option right ?
you should transcode your 30p footage into 60p....
use something like SVP
a PS2 with a ton of games would be possible for that price, thats my opinion though
yes the PS2 is still fun to play! I still play mine until this day!
Emile Heskey i was worried mine wasnt working, turns out i just needed to readjust the lid on the slim line a touch to make discs run without anything on top of the lid. :DDD
Nice you can play all your ps2 classics now! :D
Ps2 one of the best consoles ever! Those were the days...
Hassan Rehman what do you mean were, who ever said it had to stop! :D
I'm really liking the style of your videos lately, man! I'm not saying the style was bad before. I'm saying I like all the cinematic styled shots! I really like how you're implementing them into your videos! This is great work!
Landon Hughes Thanks!
Austin Evans Wow! This is a first. TH-camrs with 500,000+ subscribers don't usually reply back. You, my good sir, get bonus points! :D ........I don't usually give out bonus points. lol
Marques Brownlee Stole this dude name huh. Wait til the real MKBHD finds out! 0_0
I like everything, the content is much fleshed, theres info scattered around,nice shots...the voice tone though , mngeah ,1/10
i agree with the original comment. great video!
You can literally get a used PS4 for £100
But the used Vita Tv goes for 45£ at CEX
U can get brand new in my country for 30£
200*
ya but thats pounds
This was in 2015 bro
bought a ps3 for $32 a couple of days ago
Lucky! :3
it was a slim it came with a. fake controller and a scratched bo2
-_-
Hamzoute PS3s are worth about $100. It's ten years old so yeah
and they are way betterbthan the Ps TV I mean I would rather play bo2 on my ps3 than all my games on my ps4
Why would you pay 100$ for PS2 HD?
Martin Garcia Arvidson Never ever.
Martin Garcia Arvidson are you dumb??!😂😂? I would pay $50 ish dollars extra any day for an HD ps2, I miss that shit
Martin Garcia Arvidson because it's basically a remastered ps2. That's why. And for $100, it's great.
Yeah, considering you can emulate it with a $35 laptop from ebay, a 5 dollar shipper usb converter and a 9.99 controller from gamestop (and that let's you play tens of thousands of games, being able to emulate everything from NES to dreamcast, to PS2....maybe hundred thousand games with PC games that are free)
Just buy a laptop for the PS2 stuff and hey, look: it's a god damn laptop hahaha
What The a 35$ laptop can't do shit even a gaming laptop will lag when emulating the ps2
You can get a PS3, or a XB360 for $100...
in teh back of gamestop
JokerGaming for free.
i know why pay 100$
when you can get it for free
JokerGaming Good point.
how for free o.O
send me a free one.
no really... please do
av jst came here to look at old austin videos
The PS3 and Xbox 360 are 100$ now so just get it has all you need
I saw used ps3 for 65€ (70$??) And it had 23games and 2 controllers
AR_15 YT what games
AR_15 YT it that shit broke
In Canada it’s for $50 now
EVERYONE LISTEN UP:
PS TV does not support Netflix or Hulu anymore because it can only push out a 720p resolution.
omg fr?
Yea, bought one at best buy a couple months ago and found out the hard way
Does it have TimeSplitters and/or Baldur's Gate?
Im not sure sorry, I returned it as soon as I found out it doesnt do netflix.
idrk, I just want this because Senran Kagura runs like shit on my PC lol
"Sev zero, a first person shooter." - Austin 2016
Its a third person shooter come on austin you know that
Did anyone see that old tutorial and just got HIT With Nostalgia
*Congrats Austin!*
Definitely one of your best videos yet!
Also, 60FPS looks absolutely stunning! Curious on how you managed to keep the C100 so stable
ZONEofTECH Shot most of this on a Tokina 11-16 to get that super wide look and used plenty of Warp Stabilizer to smooth things out. Not thrilled with the final result but was a fun experiment!
Austin Evans Looks almost flawless.
I've seen your twitter posts when you were editing this. Just curios, how many hours did you spend in the end (editing and filming)? I'm guessing somewhere around 20-30.
ZONEofTECH Spent two days shooting, half a day scripting and two days editing.
Wow, that's a lot!
You definitely have a different workflow that I do.
I usually never split my editing. For me it's scripting + filming indoors (one day) + outdoors the next day (or when it's sunny - almost never, here in the UK), and then full on editing until I finish the video (or until I start hallucinating).
Once I went full on 42h of straight editing haha! #LivingAYOLOLife
ZONEofTECH Damn dude. I split it up all the time, usually half on audio and half on video.
But the real qustion is...can you play super mario bros 1 in there?
Haha
buy a 2ds, you can play mario on vc
Derk Schelvis It was a joke
yes you can play it on there
If you hack it, yes.
these aren't really "game consoles". My phone has better games
these are the same as a phone but without a screen on it, You get games from the play store on the nexus player in the same why you would an android phone
Stephano Vargas I think of them more as media consumption devices. Gaming systems should have significantly more power than any of these do, unless they're just for emulated experiences, like the Retron 5. If you want something that does it all, perhaps an HTPC would be the best option. It's more pricey, but also can be customized to suit your tastes. You can make it a gaming PC, a media center, a streamer, or an all around beast... If you can afford it. :)
SeanFromPVD I dont see a problem in calling them gaming consoles, I mean look at the 3ds its nothing special spec wise but I play on it every other day. You have got to remember there is a whole new market in the gaming industry of casual gamers and you cant take them for granted when candy crush is making millions.
kiro kokov uh I'd much rather have a PSP rather than a vitatv.. since you can get those for $100 or less now and its portable... plus it has tons of hacks meaning I could also play thousands of emulated games.
Your phone isn't $100.
God, i gotta stop watching vids like these knowing i cant ever be able to buy them
Just checking are you still broke?

true, but they release a new interface every year by the looks of it.

Best console ever no game glitches from devlopers
well at least its better than the ouya
Oh shit I forgot about that thing XD
Lol
Lmao
Hey austin this is onrginal
Never as gud as a PC though
Back when there was no war of notches and bezeless screens
You forget about the emulators you can download on Amazon Fire TV. Worth it.
Viddy vita TV is now hacked, it has so many emulates and free games
Viddy yeah, I do it my self, I get all the sky movies and foreign channels. basically. also I have access to over millions of movies and tv shows going all the way back to 1926
Cool review man, I gotta say one of the annoying things about the PS TV is the whole game cart thing, putting into such a small console it always moves around a lot for me.
Really annoying since I like to use all kinds of games on cart.
BUT PROTO why would they sell it if nobody is interested in it
BUT PROTO THEY SUCK
If u have $100 buy yourself a GameCube 4 controllers and smash Bros melee lol

+Nicholas Fahlman Do you really think that people considering a $100 console have a pc able to emulate gamecube games at 8k?
“Hey guys this is exhausting” poor Austin ;(
i can buy ps3 for 130-150$
Atuka Hater sadly most game developers forgot about the ps3
If you want the newest top games, neither of these will be any good either, ps3 has a great backline
You would be better off to buy a pc, having slightly better specs, for just $50.

I bought a raspberry pi and used moonlight to gamestream from PC to my Tv in livingroom. best investment ever.
Notice how the PSTV has a power adapter which is larger than the actual console
why did this show up in my recommend now?? i miss “hey guys this is Austin” so much
I bough a Game Cube in 2005 for $99 bucks brand new & it was worth it
I’m from the future and I’m here to tell yo No, No it’s not worth it.
You know... if I could go back in time, I'd tell Sony to use the same chips for the Vita into the original PSP so that PS Vita would be backwards compatible. i'd also tell them to not use proprietary memory chips or charging port. It'd have saved them a LOT of trouble.
Heck, making it have online texting and emergency calling for parents and it'd have been perfect.
I've never heard of any of these
Me neither😂

3:10 thanks for reminding me of that one girl that died. That was sad as hell

The reason why the ps tv is $ 100 because it has psp,ps1,ps vita and ps3 games and plus PS4 games.
Ps2 games will come to ps now along with more PS3 games
gocivic Gameing qw
and if you are on 3.60fw now you can have retroarch, psp, ps1,ps3 and a huge collection of ps vita games... i got mine for 25 bucks and its Worth it..

I've owned my ps3 since the launch day and it stopped working an hour ago. PS4 here I come!
Bad idea, build a PC and even if it costs you 50 dollars more, you will not have to waste money every month for online, games are cheaper, and you have way more games, specially the ones that require precision.
Don't be dumb, don't fall in the PS4/XBOX1 trap.
NotaHipster but the downside for PC is you'll be alone
SOYA VEGA What are you even saying. Typical console fan that is blind to the truth here. PC's have way more users, more local multiplayer games, and if you want it, you can buy joystick like you would do with any consoles and play with one of those with your friends.
Admit console sucks, dont be so dumb and blind :)
+Octavio
well they dont suck but i have do agree that pc gaming is better
the only consoles still worth getting are the Nintendo ones for their uniqueness and for the exclusives. or get a pc, it does everything better than a ps4 or Xbox.
I'll be in my cave with my RetroPi running on my 40$ raspberry pi 3...
cyberlord64 also supports more operating systems on one sd card, so I go with pi too
PI ftw

Why is this getting recommended 6 years later?
wow austin five years ago looks like linus 10 years ago
You need to change your narration. You do this weird thing where you start with a high pitch and then finish your sentence in a low pitch. The fake smiles are weird too. You should also include also the three things you're talking about in the title/thumbnail.
The way you read your script reminds me a lot of the gamer from Mars (that's not a good thing)
Ok

Don't get the fire tv it sucks trust me the screen thing really suck
Its actually pretty good...I have one I use it for streaming what it was designed for. Video games on the stick are a bit intensive. Plus only 1g of ram and majority of it is reserved for system. So I dont play video games on it I play movies etc
I try to watch movies but it all ways freezes

Back in my day you used to get a Game Boy advance SP with 100$ and that was one of the best game consoles ever made.

You can buy a gaming pc from 2006 for $50. People prefer portability over specs though. Oh well.

December 9th 2020 Ah Memories
You're better off buying a used xbox360 or PS3 for almost the same price and you have access to a huge library of now cheap games.
Those God of War games going for 15$ on the PS store can be found for like 5-10$ used and you'll actually own a disc. Maybe not vita exclusives but portable versions of games are always worse than console versions.
If you enjoy CoD (or BF) you can play almost all of them. This alone is enough for years of multiplayer entertainment. I have no problems finding matches when I go back on my 360 being that the only CoD not on it is infinite warfare (which is garbage) and MWR, though the original is. People are getting sick of thruster bullshit so they come back.
Trapasaurus Flex The big problem with buying a 360 when trying to save cash is that you have to pay for online. That's why I'd choose a PS3.
You can get a 2nd hand current gen console for this price on ebay
Nope
I completely forgot that this was a thing
PS tv
Were I live Xbox 360 goes for £55555 that's a good price right
someone in Africa or something? Zimbabwe?
Yep
Hey Austin you usually reply to early comments so I'll give this a go.
Any upcoming builds planned with the gtx 960? Lord knows when Intel will finally decide to release the broadwell cpus, so maybe consider just going ahead without em? I'm not too sure what price bracket or purpose it could fit, but they do look quite appealing, and I was thinking if there's anyone, you could pull off something with it.
I dunno, maybe consider it?
andyramb My thoughts exactly, probably not going to wait for Broadwell for making a new ~$750 build.
Austin Evans Oh that's awesome. Actually that fits perfectly, I've been planning on building my own PC for quite some time and that price point would be alright.
You probably have G+ notifications off, but you end up coming across this comment again, any possible time/dates you could hint at...???
andyramb Not sure yet, could be next month?
Austin Evans Nice
I like how two of these devices are obselete and the PSTV is now worth more than when it was new...
So if I don't own a PS3 or 4 I can't play gta 5 on the ps tv thing?
so you just plug it to any monitor or TV and set to go?
No consoles are worth it.
Praise GabeN brother!
nyjash93 I never said anything about PCMR, I just said consoles aren't worth it.
You're just making assumptions!
Jake Shaefferr Im sure he meant the guy who replied you.
Jake Shaefferr If you're going to play alone or online I agree that no consoles are worth it. But if you give your kid a console to play with his/her friends it can be a lot of fun. Plus a very young kid can probably set it up on his own.
PCMR
Your videos are the best for starters and I have learned alot from them
Dreamcast, $50.
Drops mic and walks off.
Nick West You're much better off getting last gen consoles (Wii, 360, PS3) If your lucky you can find one of any for 30 buck.
You're God Damn Wrong
(Picks mic back up, taps on it) It plays burned games out of the box, no modding needed.
Drops mic again.

Oh, Really?
If you think Sonic Adventure 2 is the only good game for the DC, then you are delusional. Jet Set Radio, Grandia 2, Skies of Arcadia, Armada, Power Stone, Virtua Fighter 3tb, Seaman, Sega GT, all 2K sports games, and I could go on for days. It still has NEW games coming out for it in 2017. You have obviously never REALLY played the Dreamcast, that or you are butt hurt for some reason or another.

I got the PS TV for $30 on a Deal. Fantastic device once hacked :)

John Tuber yeah i know, lol however i didn't know this was hackable either. I went though out the time of the first PSP without knowing it was also hackable.

PS TV for sure. I want Tales of Hearts R, Danganronpa 1 & 2, Persona 4 Golden, etc.
