To be honest one of the biggest sellers for me really has no purpose. I can get Crash on any other console now and I can get Spyro soon and I know I missed it before.

Maybe Wild Arms or Legend or Dragoon could make me interested in picking it up.

There was an interesting article I read about the Playstation Classic vs Playstation TV which has a muuuuuch bigger variety of PSX games. My concern is that the remaining games they'll mention might be available as classics on PS3/4/Vita. Which kinda pulls away from the appeal. At least the SNES classic had Star Fox 2 which was a huge attraction for it

I agree the PSTV is much better but hey that didn’t get the right marketing. People who haven’t played a game since 2001 won’t care there is a better device out or that Crash is on other systems. There’s more potential for someone’s to be in that market considering PS1 sold as much as the NES and SNES combined. 

I’m hoping they put CTR on it though! Also as far as Crash or Spyro, a lot of people will prefer the old look and Vicarious Visions and Toys for Bob hold no nostalgia whereas someone seeing the ND/Insomniac logos will have a ton of nostalgia.

I'm honestly not worried about what games they put on it, because in about 19.3 seconds someone will figure out how to crack it to play any PSX rom out there, just like they did with the other classic systems. Because that's what gamers do.

Well I was trying to stay off the hacking and piracy lmao. My vita is hacked so I could play most PSX games if I wanted but I like Sony a lot. I don't condone piracy. Only case I've ever made for going that route is fan translated English patches of games we know aren't coming but you can still support the developer and publisher in other ways. If we are gonna do that, then buying a PSTV and a vita sd card adaptor will get you nearly every PSX game playable and you can use your DS3 and DS4 so you're wireless with analog sticks.

I just don't see the appeal of the Playstation Classic when Sony themselves created multiple, alternate ways of playing the same games with more benefits.

Edit: Nostalgia lol. THAT reason I completely understand

I shouldn't be condoning piracy either, but the games I'd wanna see on there are never gonna make the cut. That or they require a dualshock controller, which this thing doesn't have for reasons that baffle us! Plus, there are so many other ways to play these games if you have access to it that it almost seems like it's not worth it, even at only 100 bucks.

I wouldn't be surprised if they sold the dual shock controller for it after its release but never part of the bundle

Releasing dualshock controllers for this when there are no dualshock focused games on it would be as much of a piss take to me as not including the power cord.

And yet, for a profit, i can see it happening. Can't wait till they say that power cords are sold separately like what Nintendo did with the New Nintendo 3DS Xl.

Yeah, but it's okay when Nintendo does it. Just look at all the people who defend having to pay for peer2peer online connection. "But it's only $20!"  Rolleyes

It's only not okay when Sony does it.

As for releasing a second set of controllers at a later time, I doubt it. Sony probably doesn't want to invest too much into this.

Yeah. I know the 3DS XL at least had the excuse (albeit a bad one) that you could use an AC adapter from another DS product, but with the PS Classic it's completely unusable no matter what PlayStation items you already own. It's just a piss poor attempt by both companies to make a product look cheaper and more appealing. Errm

In their defense it doesn’t need an AC adapter. It can be powered via any usb that supplies power.
