A PSOne Classic (tiny) for $99.9 with games priced at $9.99 available thru physical and digital please. The machine can come with a 8 GB internal drive, an SD card slot and a ps1 classic controller, and we are all set.

Wait... your proposal it is retro console for $100 with no games included? And then you have to pay $10 for each PS1 game?

Why should people buy that instead of a used PS1 with games? Or a used PS2 with games (100% PS1 compatible + additional 100% PS2-support)? Or a used PS3 (100% PS1 compatible + access to cheap digital PS1 games + additional 100% PS3-support)? Or a used PSP (access to cheap digital PS1 games + additional 100% digital + physical PSP-support)? Or a PSTV (access to cheap digital PS1 games + access to cheap digital PSP games + additional 100% digital + physical Vita-support)?

Because of several reasons....

1) PS1 is not at the same level as NES or SNES, much more advanced, and many years newer.

2) The games are MUCH larger, 10-100 times as a matter of fact, so bundling the NES classic style is not an option.

3) Just like you can have ps1 games on various platforms, you can virtually have ALL NES and SNES games literally free. People still buy it though because it is a matter of convenience.

4) There are MANY people who would be interested in a large ps1 game library from the luxury of a tiny console that is attached to an HDMI port. Of course we would like to see HD upcsaling (modern emulation style).

However, it might also be a good idea to bundle a couple of classic games such as Tekken 1 and Crash. A $100 PS tiny console bundled with Tekken 1 and Crash 1 would make miracles.
