New Playstation Classic $29.99 on ebay
- Thread starter asmith906

I wonder if this mess has made Sony forget about ever doing a PS2 Classic, if that was ever a thing in the cards. But if the level of effort would have been the same as this, maybe it's for the best that we'll never see it.
PS5 BC, please come and save us.

It's well worth $39.99 imo. I picked one up a few days ago and have really been enjoying it. I've already spent several hours on Ridge Racer Type 4 and plan to play a good bit of Metal Gear Solid and GTA. Those three games alone are worth the price.
Its also important to note that you can change to the NTSC version by plugging in a keyboard and hitting escape to access the emulator options, or by using a Bluetooth controller with the 8BitDo adapter

$5 or not even touching it!
I'm waiting for it to reach £25 in the UK before I bite. I have no idea what the hacking scene is currently like for it, but I assume it's easy enough to execute by now for that price. Plus I'll take any excuse to play a non-shit port of the best game ever made again (FFVII).
I think that Sony could have easily put 20 games on the PS1 Classic that have aged well, seeing as how I own over 20 PS1 games that I still think are great. I still can't believe how bad the game selection is for this system.
The final fantasies and metal gear solid are the only ones I think I could replay, and the final fantasies are 2d for the most part
If you can't sell an emulation box for $29.99 with 2 usb controllers, FFVII and Metal Gear Solid, then you fucked up hard. Good job, Sony.
You don't need to do that anymore. The thing is broken wide open now. Look into AutoBleem or BleemSync. Also, you can access the PSCX menu simply by hitting Select+Triangle. I was playing G-Darius on my 60" TV the other day; didn't feel like I wasted $40 at all.
I plan on installing BleemSync tonight. Going to add the games Sony should have included... It may take a while though due to me not owning many of my older games anymore. I'll have to rebuy them before downloading.
As I mentioned before, 8BitDo has a great adapter for twenty dollars that works with the DS4.
Eh, it will go lower.
PS TV was cleared at 19.99.

Wait to see what will happen once the N64 is released.
When the thread title said "New" PlayStation Classic I thought it was an actual new PS Classic with Dualsock controllers and different games. Anyways that's a little more like what I'd pay for this system but prefer 19.99. One day I'll play Intelligent Qube. One day.
I think 30 is the lowest. The difference between this and pstv is that these are easy as heck to hack right out of the box, where the pstv was pretty much considered a brick when it hit that low.
People are going to buy them all up and within two years, the prices will be ridiculous.
Eh, it'd also likelier be a more premium product.
I can't imagine Nintendo wouldn't charge at least $99 for an N64 mini with 2 controllers and 15-20 games.
Some of its best/most fondly remembered games are also mired in licensing hell (Goldeneye, the Star Wars games, the wrestling games etc.) which would mirror the problem with the PS1 Classic somewhat.
That being said, even a first party-only N64 Classic would have some appeal. Mario 64, two Zelda games, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Smash, DK64, Star Fox 64, Pokemon Snap, etc. Don't forget that the N64 actually outsold the SNES LTD in the US, it would be absolutely massive here.
Sony's fault for not bringing in a better library of games to the West and for certain games being the PAL versions where they perform much slower. Also they probably didn't want to put in games like the Crash games (1-3 and CTR) and Spryo due to the remasters, but those are synonymous w/ the PS1 and Oddworld Abe's Odyssee still got in despite New N' Tasty being a remaster of AO coming out not that long ago. Same thing for something like Castlevania Symphony of the Night because that was re-released in a collection last year. They also needed to knock emulation out but had a half-caring way of doing so to the point that even some of the NTSC games weren't performing right.
Same. $10 is the sort of impulse buy where I wouldn't feel bad giving it away after I'm inevitably disappointed and/or disinterested with playing those 20 poorly emulated "classics".

How does this prove that people prefer 2D graphics over 3D? Especially when you're downplaying how much of a difference game selection makes (SNES and NES Classics having iconic games while PS Classic has only 2). There are tons of PS1 games that have aged well in terms of gameplay and graphics, and yet, Sony clearly never bothered to use them.
My thoughts exactly, I want to do a boardswap with real hardware. Does anyone know if it fits?
Mine too. They had the 24 or 48 hour sale a while back where they were $40 and I don't think a single one left the shelves of my walmart during it. I think $30 is the magic number. According to the listing in the OP, they have now sold 5,099 of them.
Snagged for $30 with no tax and I had a random coupon and some eBay bucks. Not bad. It's kind of superfluous since I have multiple Vitas, PS TV, computers, and more but for that price and wide open emulation, why not.
Nah man.
You had months and months of fun. Thats gotta be worth $70.
Sony was so fucking stupid. Just what a piece of shit all around. You make a garbage product, you get a garbage result.
Just so many dumb decisions.
Just so fucking many.

Just so fucking many.
Hope sony gives this another try with dualshock controllers and a half decent list of games.
But probably not.
But probably not.
Ohhh.....well, that certainly was a mistake.
The only way Sony is doing this again is if Sony's kid was kidnapped, and their kidnappers demands were to make another psxc.
Even then, I'm not sure.
Bleh, I bought it. At worst I'll have two controller that should be good for digital controls on steam games.
