Now Playing: PlayStation Classic Video Review
Sony released the PlayStation Classic on December 3, confirming rumors that it was working on a competitor to Nintendo's line of miniature consoles. One of the surprises was the system's $100 price tag, which is higher than Nintendo's NES and SNES Classics, which cost $60 and $80 respectively. The price isn't such a big problem this week, because many retailers currently have the PlayStation Classic marked down to $60. That's 40% off a product that released less than a month ago.

PlayStation Classic is a miniature version of the original PlayStation console from 1995. It comes with 20 PS1 games loaded onto it and two full-sized controllers so you and a partner can play the games that support couch co-op. You can find the full list of the games included on the system below.

• Buy PlayStation Classic from B&H -- $55
• Buy PlayStation Classic from Amazon -- $60
• Buy PlayStation Classic from Best Buy -- $60
• Buy PlayStation Classic from GameStop -- $60
• Buy PlayStation Classic from Newegg -- $60
• Buy PlayStation Classic from Target -- $60
• Buy PlayStation Classic from Walmart -- $60

Deals this good don't tend to last long, so if you've had your eye on a PlayStation Classic, now is a good time to grab one. Fair warning, though: in GameSpot's PlayStation Classic review, critic Peter Brown wasn't thrilled with the retro console. "The PS Classic doesn't feel like a celebration of PlayStation's formative years the way Nintendo's systems do," he wrote.

Speaking of Nintendo's mini console series, if you want an NES or SNES Classic, you might want to pick it up soon, because Nintendo is about to cease production of the miniature consoles. In the meantime, you can still find them in stock at several retailers.

If you got the target app and a red card, you can get this shyt for like $36

 

[Threnody]

$50 is about what its worth PS Classic got the same internals as a Fire Stick 4K just underclocked a bit

 

[Kingshango]

I saw stacks of them at work last weekend, nobody is copping these things. Not surprised they're slashing the price this hard.

 

[levitate]

I'm still gonna cop one though: will look nice beside my recently copped NES and SNES Classic.

A lot of people, if you pick the right games. Look at the NES/SNES classic. Those things sold like gangbusters.

 

[Rekkapryde]

shyt was trash and was a cash grab like the others. I couldn't and wouldn't cyse that shyt.

Yup. I've got a few friends who don't have the time to find the right emulator and load shyt up and find games etc. They just want to turn something on and have their games right there; nice and easy. And nostalgia makes you want the box instead of your computer

Agreed on both fronts. Got a hakchi-modied SNES Classic in the entertainment center...it's never leaving.

Yup. Now of course there are issues with some of those games regarding licensing. And they’d also cannibalize themselves potentially. Can’t put crash and Spyro on your classic system while selling separate version should of them in a remastered collection
