The PS Vita's upcoming firmware update looks like it's going to be quite a substantial one. Yesterday, Sony announced that themes were coming to the handheld that would allow you to customise your backgrounds and icons, but according to the official PlayStation Blog, there's more to the next update than just that.
Indeed, it looks like the portable device is getting a 'Live From PlayStation' app, much like the PlayStation 4. The app will allow you to watch livestreams from PS4 users through Twitch and Ustream, all on your Vita's crisp little display. Do you like the sounds of this? Do you watch many streams on your home console? Tune into the comments section below.

Would rather just Twitch support seeing as the majority of PS4 streams are of the naughty nature.
@Jazzer94 Look at it this way: you could, er, take your Vita to bed and watch those naughty Ustream shows.
@ShogunRok
Ive tried previously to watch movies on the ps4 via the vita remote play second screen function, it always tells me to do one
@Jazzer94 I don't know if we live in separate worlds but I have never seen a naughty PS4 stream, and I have actually tried to find them (just to see the mysterious unicorn for myself). I believe they exist or existed at one point, but to say that the majority are naughty is not even remotely true when I have never intentionally or unintentionally encountered one.
cool shame they couldn't make a app that would let you do live streams on the vita ie: stream your vita gameplay
Neat
Great!!
This is pretty cool but ability to change themes on both is more up my alley.
I think it'd be cool if they let you stream Vita games
Wow it would be awesome yo, can't wait.
Meh, I don't watch em on my ps4, not gonna start on Vita. I just don't get the appeal, really. Rather play games myself than watch someone else do it, and I don't have the type of ego that would lead me to believe anyone should ever want to watch me play. Maybe I'm just old.
@daveh30 well said
@daveh30 I like watching Melee tournaments on Twitch occasionally but that's about it.
I think this is sweet. I usually check streams out on my ps4 and Xbox one when I'm bored or just want to check out a game before I buy it. Sometimes there's some genuinely funny people streaming games that I enjoy..
as for what some other people were saying about streaming from vita I think that would be cool as hell especially cuz the vita has the forward facing camera as well.. sadly I don't think the vita has quite enough oomph to pull off playing a game, streaming it to twitch and capturing video from your camera all at the same time.
@daveh30 Not sure if trolling or serious... :/
@Enobmah_Shards hmmm.... Now I'm not sure if you're trolling or serious. For the record, I'm completely serious. Maybe if I was 14 again I might be into it, but I truly don't see the point.
@daveh30 Sorry about that, I thought you were being snide about it so I was curious. Forgive me. ^^
@Enobmah_Shards You are forgiven.
The only thing I watch Live From Playstation for is gameplay of a game I'm thinking of buying. Just to see if it's the sort of game I'm interested in. And to ask the broadcaster a few questions about that game.
If only people had a Vita. Oh snaps!!!
So now I can watch people comment on my Vita
@marksman25 Congratulations, you are Live from Playstation's targeted demographic.
I'm personally trying to find a good interactive stream. Those are fun!
