PlayStation TV to launch in October

Sony’s PlayStation TV will make its debut in PAL territories on November 14, and on October 14 in North America.

Broadband TV News reports the announcement came at the Gamescom conference in Cologne. 

The PS TV is able to stream games to any TV set in the home, but will also be capable to stream internet video, which could position the device as a competitor to devices such as Apple TV, Roku and Google Chromecast.

Released in Japan and Asia last November as PlayStation Vita TV, the system has since continuously evolved through software updates and content enhancements. Adopting the same chip sets and system software as the PlayStation Vita, PS TV has a 6.5cm × 10.5cm ultra slim size.
