Holy fuck lol. Cant fucking wait to look at sony's face when they try to sell you this shit. They better release this shit for free today with an apology.
Same. It's mad how little Sony really care about this hardware. Pure gimmick to get your money, riding off nostalgia. I wonder if those games are play or possibly modifiable to be playable? If so, 56 classic games is more appealing.
You can't make this shit up EDIT: Well I guess you can.
Games actually aren't on the console then. Kind of sucks considering those 36 extra games would have been great.

That's crazy. I mean Sony have to know these things get pulled apart and examined with a microscope. They knew people would find these. I wonder what if anything will happen between some of these publishers and Sony.
-edit- nvm, they're not on the system.
Still, there's some way better games on that list that should have been on the Classic.

To anyone wondering why, I'm going to guess that these are the games Sony wanted to have in the console, built it like that, but then licensing problems happened.
If these games weren't licensed already, then probably Sony will have some problems in the future.
I was under the impression that these games aren't actually stored on the console, but are just in a list somewhere in the code (as if they were tested or something at some point).
It only has 16GB of storage so how would these be able to be there along side what actually is there?

It's almost like Sony is saying "See, we wanted to give you a proper line up but couldn't because, uh, reasons".
16 GB is easily enough to store these games. PS1 ISO files were mostly 300 to 500MB in size for single disc games, games like Parasite Eve with video files usually filled CD's to their capacity but games with more real time content like Silent Hill would usually be around ~300 to 400 MB. They can very easily all be on the storage with more room to spare.
The tweet in the OP directly implies these files are downloaded and stored on the flash memory.
edit: OK looks like the guy clarified the games are not stored, just the meta data. My bad, but still 16 GB would be more than enough to house all these games.
LOL nice one that actually made me laugh at work.
How the hell did they not remove these? It was obvious people would hack/dig this mini console as they did with the NES and SNES mini
I doubt it considering it's just a half-asses emualtion machine without the fake shortage SNES/NES classic had. Besides, in a week we will probably be able to put games on the thing if we can't already.
Or they'll just release a "PlayStation Classic Vol. 2" but all they've done is disable the original 20-game lineup and enable the unused ones.
People really hate this thing. Like, they're absolutely FUMING about it.
Edit: See post above!
Alright, this is a non-story then, other than the fact that they actually thought it was going to be legally possible to include an Electronic Arts made Harry Potter game on this thing at some point
