Introducing PlayStation®Classic

It all began in Japan in 1994. The first PlayStation® changed everything.

And now today we are announcing the new PlayStation®Classic – a miniature recreation mirroring the look of that original console with two wired controllers and 20 preloaded games.

Just plug into your TV and play some of the best games from that iconic PlayStation® era, including Final Fantasy® VII, Tekken™ 3, R4: RIDGE RACER TYPE 4, Jumping Flash! and Wild Arms™.

Coming 3 December 2018 for £89.99 RRP.

Will buy it providing they make enough!

I hope it has the first gran turismos on it and panadmodium

All depends on the games. Only 5 announced out of 20 so far..

XeNoN89 · 19 Sep 2018 at 08:39

Might be tempted by this. 3 great games already confirmed: Final Fantasy® VII, Tekken™ 3, R4: RIDGE RACER TYPE 4,

£90, This will be like the NES Classic Mini launch all over again! Will be cool if it's easily hackable like the SNES/NES Classics but then again the non analogue pads kind of limit the console.

It's going to need a fair bit of flash storage compared to the Nintendo minis.

It really doesn't.

Oh boy, this is tempting, though I do want to see the final line-up before throwing my money at it. Here's hoping Resident Evil makes the cut.

Before the reality I quite liked the idea of a Playstation Classic console, but in reality the Playstation is so easy to play perfectly on other setups that the temptation has evaporated now it's actually happening (also those pads look terrible). Playing games perfectly on my PSP is the ideal format for Playstation games and they look great on the smaller screen (or Vita of course...I don't own one so no comment on that).

It looks good. But what is the deal with no ac adapter? Apparently there is going to be no way to charge it unless we buy a separate adapter?

Just the same as the SNES classic and 3DS, it's just a USB cable

I doubt we will get resident evil etc and the games we actually want due to age ratings, licensing issues and so on.

Seems expensive to me but I guess sits reflective of the licensing costs of the games?

I think this is age 18 rated....

If MGS gets confirmed I'll be picking one up no doubt.

That looks epic! Love how the box, at least in the shot, mimics the original one. What a happy blast form the past that is, takes me back to Year 9 (might have been 10) of secondary school.

Might have to order one...

So you'd find it fun to play GT 2 for example with a D pad?

Who does not own a T.V without usb connector or at least a USB wall wart left over from a phone upgrade?
