Thanks for the comment; I always forget about emulation and all the button-aware titles it brings to the table.

I'm old, my eyes are bad, my fingers are clumsy (I don't have much feeling in the fingertips of my left hand due to an old injury)... swapping in a new video card and power supply was enough of a challenge for me these days. When I was young and strong I actually built systems for a medical electronics firm (we sold heart monitors and PCs to go with them back when you couldn't assume a doctor's office would have a PC...am I dating myself!!?) so I have the know-how to do it. Or did anyway. I still get freaked out that I won't get the thermal-paste applied correctly.  The next time, though, I might buy the components and get a local custom PC shop to build for me. I've heard a lot of places will do that for not a lot of $$ and I'm sure I'd wind up with a much better system. 

Yes, at least for PS1 titles that have been made available in the PSN store. PSP titles often run on the Vita even if they're not 'officially supported' and I assume the same would be true for Vita TV. 

Exactly. I guess I'm just feeling like it's been quite a while since Apple surprised us... y'know, brought out a product that doesn't have an incremented number at the end of its name.  I was hoping for an iWatch or an iGame (like an Apple TV that comes with a game controller and can run games from the App Store) (products like these have both been rumored to be in the works) or something else so far out that I can't even dream it up and that we haven't heard rumors about. There's nothing wrong with a newer, faster iPhone, but there's nothing the least bit surprising about it, either. 

Yup, I assume it would have it's own Netflix, but the Vita doesn't have Hulu or Amazon (for example) while the PS3 does (and I hope the PS4 will as well) so for those services you'd have to stream from the 'main' console.
