So this has been announced... the PlayStation classic. 20 built-in games, 45 percent smaller replica, comes with 2 controllers and HDMI out. They're pretty tight-lipped about the games, but the ones that have been confirmed are Final Fantasy 7, Ridge Racer Type 4, jumping flash, Wild Arms and Tekken 3. $99.

I'm in. I'm more interested in this then I was with the NES and SNES Classic. But as with the others, I doubt I will actually play mine.
-
This actually doesn't interest me even a bit yet.
Spyros are coming soon enhansed, Crashes are alreary.
If it comes with Symphony of the Night... then maybe.
I've always wanted to play it but can't bother to order it and locate my PS1, nor emulate it and I won't buy digital copies.

Yeah, but I'm not getting it to play the games. As with the NES or SNES Classic, there are much better ways to play the games, even if you don't have the original consoles. I love the PS1, so I want this in my collection.
PS: Only Spyro 1 HD will be on disc. And the Crash remake was shit.
PPS: Maybe if you didn't have so many GameCubes running Double Dash, you might have room to get a PS1. :P

PS1 is my favorite console of all time. So I am definitely in. However, I am also very curious as to what games will be on it. I still have my original, as well as 6 or 7 other PS1 models. So I don't need this, however if it has dramatically increased load times for games, as it should because it's emulation, then it could really improve the experience of playing certain titles on official PS1 Hardware. Plus that is one of my favorite controllers, so getting a USB version is awesome
-
Pass. Have a great PS1 library/collection and about 4 systems to play them on.
Cool idea though, it's about time they got on the band wagon, and i'm sure it will sell well.
I'm still holding out for a Panasonic 3DO mini :)

I have PS1 ::) (4 or 5 actually) I just don't know where they are. I do need to buy the Castlevania though.
Oh and we were really close on playing the 16 player Mario Kart Double Dash this summer... but the weather was too nice so we forgot.

There is still chance that the two other games will be on the disc aswell because if the delay was just due to getting Spyro 2 and 3 ready they could have released the Spyro 1 with note in the case saying that the other two will be downloadable at later date.

I'm aware of the delay, but I still say there is little chance of 2 & 3 on disc.

Well if they are not on disc or are behind some manditory day one DL (thus making the games unplayable in the future from the disc if my console breaks) I will not buy them... and let's say my brother can play his BotW with unbreakable weapons... without Switch... ::)
-

Sorry, you lost me there.

I was hoping Sony would re-release the PSone but with an optical drive and HDMI. I don't really care for units that have a fixed number of games you can play.

He can play Switch game without Switch (unbreakable weapons was just for there as BotW is way funnier to play that way than with breakable weapons).
Or to put it straight: If "physical" Spyro 2 and 3 mean that they still need to be downloaded or unlocked online I too will buy powerful enough Computer to play pirated versions SO I CAN HAVE ACTUAL PHYSICAL BACK-UPS TO PLAY FOREVER WITHOUT THE FEAR OF EVER LOSING THEM FOR MACHINE BREAKING OR SOMETHING.

Does one really need one because of PS3?
All versions have HDMI and are 100% PS1 backwards compatible, right?

NES Classic is easily hack-able
SNES Classic is easily hack-able
Sega Genesis HD Flashback is easily hack-able
Bought one just because I know that this will one day be hacked, and would rather have one on hand when it does.

Playing on original hardware is just the tits. Also, you can play the games but not use any peripherals. No GameShark, no PS Mouse, one handed controller, light gun, or any other crazy Contraptions that came out in that era. Besides, who still has a PS3 hooked up?

The glove controller... oh man... I really never want to pull that back out =P
I have 1x Slim PS3 hooked up in the living room (along with the PS4) that is tied to the TV remote for Kelly.
I have 9x Slim PS3's in a boxed labeled "Hack Me!"
1x Phat PS3 somewhere that is backwards compatible
1x Phat PS3 somewhere that isn't, but still works
1x Super-Slim in pieces that needs a new HDD at the base of my workstation downstairs
and about 4x PS3s that are for parts (next to the other 2x PS4s).
Oh, I forgot about the 2nd PS3 in the living room in the GameStop PS3 kiosk. Technically there is an empty shell on display on that thing... but thats... not really real....
When you can get them for like... $20-30 in the past... I figured I might as well get the ones I could hack lol...

I get that the Gameshart wouldn't work, but I wasn't aware of any incompatibility with the mouse or one handed controllers.
And of course my PS3 is hooked up currently. Why wouldn't it be?
-
plus, there is a PS2 to USB adapter. I've used it to get a turbo controller onto the PS3 to slowdown a couple speedrun games to enable me the ability to platinum those trophy lists. So you can totally connect a PS1 / PS2 controller to the PS3

No one needs any of these classic units. I'd want a PSone with an optical drive & HDMI port for nostalgic and collectors reasons. Honestly, I don't like fake cartridge ports or drives that don't actually work.
-
I forgot about the glove controller. That was ass! Thankfully, the one handed RPG controller actually work pretty well. I remember when my daughter was born I didn't have a whole lot of game time, but I mastered holding her with one arm, and playing some of those old RPGs with the other. Was pretty handy. (See...see what I did there?)
And the PS3 comment was a joke. Probably should have added a ;) to it to hammer it home.
That said, I still don't like using psx games on a ps3. Or even a ps2. I have one system with scart and another with hd retrovision cpmponent cables with psx adapter.
Bottom line, these throwback consoles are not necessary for me, but I have fun with them. And I am really looking forward to a nice PS1 throwback if for nothing else than mastalgia
-
My PS3 will be hooked up for a loooong time and get regular use. Why wouldn't it, it's my PS1/PS3 machine!
-

Jokes on you :P

OK, we have the official line up of 20 games for this thing, and....this list is surprisingly underwhelming.
Battle Arena Toshinden
Cool Boarders 2
Destruction Derby
Final Fantasy VII
Grand Theft Auto
Intelligent Qube
Jumping Flash
Metal Gear Solid
Mr Driller
Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee
Rayman
Resident Evil Director’s Cut
Revelations: Persona
Ridge Racer Type 4
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
Syphon Filter
Tekken 3
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six
Twisted Metal
Wild Arms
First of all, Resident Evil DC is likely the greatest hits version, which is just awful. The music in that game is just horrid compared to the original.
Second, of all the RPGs on the PS1, they go with Revelations: Persona!? That isn't even the good persona game on the PS1.
Third, WAY to many racing/car games. Do we seriously need both Destruction Derby AND Twisted Metal?
So who knows...I might end up cancelling my pre-order. This is just a big let down for me.
-
It will most likely be hacked and have the ability to any / all games on it. Chill out my dude =)

Well, those were all popular games at some point, and some are probably there because they were launch titles. Surprised there aren't any sports games (racing/ snowboarding don't count). Joe Sixpack loves his football/ basketball. Though they'd probably have to do the Tecmo Bowl/ Punch-Out re-release rpute, abd remove all players/ teams. Anyway, the Japanese lineup is a bit better. 12 games are the same, but they also get these:
Arc the Lad
Arc the Lad 2
Armored Core
Devil Dice
G Darius
Gradius Gaiden
Parasite Eve
SaGa Frontier
And remove these:
Cool Boarders 2
Destruction Derby
Grand Theft Auto
Oddworld
Rayman
Syphon Filter
Rainbow Six
Twisted Metal
-
Remove Coolboarders 2? Are you freaking crazy? I can understand removing Twisted Metal 1 (as 2 was so much better), but Coolboarders 2? You sheltered child! Coolboarders 2 was the shit
-

He wasn't suggesting. He was stating what Japan is getting. So blame them for being sheltered. ;)

Yeah, just to be 100% clear, the Japanese lineup is:

Metal Gear Solid

Resident Evil Director’s Cut
Revelations: Persona
Ridge Racer Type 4
SaGa Frontier
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
Tekken 3
Wild Arms
Which I personally like better than the US lineup. Oh and Shoot, everyone knows the best snowboarding games are the 1080 and SSX series!

Exactly.
The list of games is pretty dismal, but I think it was a rather smart move on Sony’s part. Think about it. They didn’t spend much on licensing (obviously), and that won’t mean much to the Joe Blow nostalgic guy who will buy it and play it twice a year. And for the folks like us who are more “serious” gamers, they have to know that this thing is gonna be hacked within a couple of weeks, so it doesn’t matter what games it comes with. Hell, it could come with no games on it for all I care.
Sony has the advantage of seeing how this type of product works, care of Nintendo. I genuinely believe that the lineup is a result of good market research, versus simply not giving a crap.
Yeah, just to be 100% clear, the Japanese lineup is:

They got a WAAAAAY better lineup than we did. The PS was THE RPG machine! I still have sealed PS RPGs that I never had a chance to crack open. In its heyday, I was playing through JRPGs on that console virtually non-stop and still couldn’t come close to keeping up.
I really do hope that they give us a corrected RE:DC, not the screw up of a release that we got way back when.

I wonder how much memory the PS Mini has.
I'll wager on 8 or 16 gigs.
Final Fantasy 7-9 were 11 discs so roughly 7.5 gigs if discs were full.
Riven was 5 discs. so 3+ gigs.
Hopefully someone figures out how to increase the memory capacity.
-
That will be the biggest issue with hacking the PS Classic. I don't expect there to be much more room to cover the games that come with it. So unless hacking also includes expanding the memory, you won't be adding many more games then it can already hold (meaning you will be replacing games, rather than adding).
-
Haven’t people already figured out how to add memory to the nes and snes Classic consoles? Can’t see why this would be any different.

They have? Nice.
But Sony of course can have put in some measures making it impossible or or harder.
We'll see.
Hope the best, fear the worst.
-
OTG USB Cables give the NES/SNES Classic an unlimited amount of space.

I didn't know about it because I didn't think they really needed to, but if so, then I'm sure the PS1 will be covered as well.
-
NES has more than enough space to fit all NES games on the console.
SNES can only fit safely ~90 or so games (be it the size of the savestates).
