Only a few games listed so far but if other decent ones are announced and it’s around £100 then I might be tempted.

Pre-ordered as well but will see what other games come with it and cancel if no good.
 
I think Ashens hit a good point when mentioning they would make a killing if they allowed it to connect up to some service they run which lets you buy extra games for a few quid each.
 
I've decided to cancel my pre-order as I'd much prefer a 'PS2 classic', so going to grab a PS2 Slim with a bunch of PS1/2 games as you can get that for as little as £30. I really want to play GT3 and Wipeout :)
 
Soon tell if its just a case of polishing a turd though. Going by the video reviews I've watched, the hardware is pretty underpowered.
 
Wow down to £25 at Tesco. I know its been a bit of a flop but to drop by almost 75% since only launching a month ago is nuts. I hope they get it right if they do a PS2/3 version.
 
I watched 3-4 reviews on it so can only go by that and the general consensus being it was just about fine for "joe public", but had some flaws in it which was disappointing for something branded as an official Sony product. Seeing as the reviewers got them for free then you'd always expect them to be a bit positive leniant if anything.
 
Yeah definitely. It sounds like it was either just one Tesco store doing it for that or maybe just for the day or something but wouldn't be surprised if it did go down to that again.
 
Thats part the reason I went down the PS2 Slim route - get pretty much any PS1 or PS2 game for a couple of quid each.
