Interested to see what they use for Storage.
The NES/SNES/N64 may have only been cart based... But when it comes to these Mini systems, that's a big advantage as they can pack allot of games into a tiny, high quality, reliable, SLC NAND chip.
Which means Sony has a few options...
* Cheaper MLC or lord forbid, TLC NAND... Which will impact the longevity/reliability of the system.
* Lots more SLC NAND... Which will drive up the costs considerably as some games are 2000MB+ in size where-as the NES/SNES Classics use a single 512MB chip for storage for all their games.
* Mechanical disks. Yuck.
- Only one game needs to be on it to win me over though... Final Fantasy 8.

Those hoping for PS2 Mini anytime soon... You have your hopes up. The costs for the appropriate SoC to drive such a system would be fairly prohibitive.
