Ehh, this is from the era of games that hold up the worst today. The ugly polygons burn my eyes. This is a hard pass for me.

Clony attacks again! I hope your fans can enjoy this console.

Nonsense. You can already play all those PS1 classics on your PS3, Vita or PSP. If that was a big deal to you, you'd already have all of those PS1 classics. You're mad that Sony isn't putting the time and effort into making the PS4 compatible with PS1 classic games you already own, many of which, if  you've had PS+ for a while, have been given to you for free or for less than $1 with PS+. I have a few dozen PS1 classics and I don't think I've paid more than $15 for all of them.

And... source that it would be easier to get PS1 games running on PS Now or PS4 over this little device?

You don't get Sony right now because you aren't their target demographic. You never have been and you never will be. If Sony started catering to people like you, they'd be bankrupt before you know it.

It's not the hardware that determines the price of those Retro consoles, but the licences. The more modern these games are, the more expensive the licenses are, with outliners like FFVII costing probably quite a bit more than the other game licenses in there.

On Topic: Won't buy it, those low count polygons look very hideous today (unless there's FFVIII... maybe) and gameplay wasn't anything special, except maybe specially bad (early 3D platformers, anyone?)

Not interested myself, but maybe will be easier to let my son play on it than on my precious consoles =p

Never did get to play Jumping Flash

Bought a Playstation 1 with Hogs of War and some other games for 90€ a few months ago. This was completely worth it because Hogs of War alone is already 50€+ at amazon.de. So basically I got a Playstation 1 with 2-3 other games for only 40€.

This announcement is still amazing though, if they do it right and add a few things here and there I would seriously consider to buy this again.

I'll tell you what isn't there, APE ESCAPE...probably. Huge miss if it isn't there

OT: I don't care for it, at all. Most of these games haven't aged as well as the NES or SNES classics.

Kerotan said: Rob5VGC said: Live footage of Kerotan: This is cool and all but as a kid i only really played and like crash bandicoot trilogy, spyro trilogy, crash team racing and mgs1 on the ps1. I actually own all of those ps1 classics on my ps3 and i own the crash trilogy remaster on the ps4 and soon the spyro trilogy remaster on the ps4. So there's very little point me buying this. I still have my ps1 hidden somewhere so if i want to jizz all over that beautiful grey box I'll find it and do so. No need to spend $100.   Edit: oh and hogs of war but i also own that on ps3. I'll save my 100 and buy 3 actual new block buster games on sale in December. Still curious to see how this sells.

How did you get that on PS3? In Germany it's not available in the Store. :(
