Sony Introducing Playstation Classic!
7 years ago
I can't say I'm certainly surprised as this was bound to happen sooner or later. Sony Computer Entertainment has just announced the PlayStation Classic to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first PlayStation. The miniaturized version will come pre-loaded with 20 classic titles and will have a $99.99 when it launches on December 3, 2018. While it is certainly most expensive than the Nintendo's NES Classic, I believe it to be just a bit too steep for just 20 games unless Sony has opted not to include security measures much like the NES/SNES Classic and be able to insert your own games into it. Looking at the back of the console, I noticed a Type-C Micro-USB port next to the HDMI port. So... two questions, will you be planning to get it? If so, would you be planning to insert more games into it if a method is discovered how to?

Will i add more games ? Again, depends on the 20 games
As a side note, a couple of personal inputs on this:
1) A SNES mini right now is just as expensive as a PS Classic over here (maybe 10€ cheaper but that's it) so i don't find the price to be "off" from this kind of product
2) If Sony is not as dumb as Nintendo putting Balloon Fight and other crap filler titles in theyr NES and SNES mini, i feel like among the included games there will be Metal Gear Solid, a Crash Bandicoot game, a Tomb Raider game, possibly a Spyro the dragon game, and Crash Team Racing.
It would make sense if this had PSN support. Download your PS1 classics onto it.
