After previously announcing its existence at E3 a couple of months ago, Sony has finally laid down the ground work for a release of its forthcoming PlayStation TV device, which will allow users to play select Vita games, as well as PS1 and PSP classics, on their television, along with other apps that utilize the Vita service.

The peripheral will release on October 14th in the U.S., and November 14th in Europe. The base unit will sell for $100, although those who really want to ge the most out of the system can purchase a special $140 deluxe bundle, which includes a DualShock 3 controller, an 8 GB memory card, an HDMI cable and a copy of The Lego Movie Videogame for Vita.

It sounds like it may be a sweet deal for Vita fans and those looking for an alternative to watching Netflix and other apps through a convenient little box. For others, well, there's the PlayStation 4.
