The thing is Sony doesent want people using their old game discs. I think they rather sell games digitally. But even if PS Mini did that, its still a crappy emulator box that runs games worse. Second, I think Sony would rather send people to the exisiting store versus make something for the PS1 mini. So if the PS1 mini had the guts of the PS TV, that would be perfect because it already has access to the PS Store and a huge selection of PS1 games. It also emulates PS1 just about perfectly. Lastly, Sony wouldnt allow people to choose the exact games they want because the 1st party content is cheaper or free to give out. They probably make deals to get 3rd party content cheap because some of the PS Mini games seleceted are very odd. For example, Medal of Honor was a major PS1 release and also treated as their Goldeneye. But they went with a crap port of Rainbow 6 instead even though you can buy MoH in the PS Store. That was a financial decision it seems. |
Yea ...Sony didnt really think this one through lol.
So last week I rehooked my PS3, downloaded all the PS1 (and PS2 games) they had that I wanted (it didnt cost as much as I had already bought a few when they were on flash sale). It's now my perfect PS1 classic lol and can play PS1 disc hehe. It's also a nice bonus that it has netflix and plays ps3 games/online free lol ..oh and best of all the controller is just like the Dualshock 1 but it has the anolog sticks and its wireless :P
