Fair enough, but it will be cracked... so I'll buy it and play what's there and not worry about whether or not every game on it is a perfect reflection of my personal top ten list for the the PSX because I know that one way or another I'll be loading my own games on it before too long... I still want the HDMI output...
Ugg i'm going to buy one and i'm excited about it but I would really love to know what is the full list is in all regions. I want to know how much the jp unit will differ (i've got both us&jp snes & nes minis).
Storage is going to be an issue. NES and SNES was easier because the largest was like 4MB. PS1 games though, range from 100MB to 2GB... it really depends how much extra storage is going to be on this thing, but I doubt they're going to put an excessive amount. So NES/SNES, you can pretty easily fit 50 extra games, this though, we'll be lucky if we can fit 5 extra games.
There's a chance USB storage might be hacked in, but that's going to take longer, if even possible.
Actually it's a lot faster and easier here: the player 2 slot can be used to plug in a usb drive. Perk of the controllers not using a specialized connecter
My thoughts on this list.
A ton of PSone games won't fly because of either licensing, controls or simply because the system had a lot of M rated games.
Sure that's possible (like I said in my post), but I don't know what makes you think it's going to be easy. It took like 3 years for the PSTV to be able to use USB storage, we don't know what we're working with here yet.
Twisted Metal will likely have at least one entry. The games were rated Teen and have had numerous entries on the PSN already. The titles most caught up in music licensing are Twisted Metals 3 & 4, but who on Earth would want those over Twisted Metal 2?
I mean yeah we don't know, but this is an enclosed basic system with a dedicated purpose vs a multi use system with an updating os and WiFi access. Unless the crew who made this went out of their way to be nasty in the encodng(which even Nintendo didn't do ) odds are good of things going quickly. Plus the system has to be open and flexible in some degree due to regional variations which gives hackers a hand
My interest is fading fast with this thing. I wasn't 100% sold on it to begin with, but pre-ordered anyways in case of a limited stock situation. If they don't announce the remaining games soon, I'll just cancel it. Not really sure it's worth the $100 asking price regardless.
I mean as a gamer, I love the idea of having these mini conoles so easily displayed on my main TV. With the caveat that obviously the real personal end goal is to have a dedicated game room with all of the legacy systems connected.
But until that time, its nice having my modded NES/SNES (soon PS1) sitting alongside the modern consoles so easily. Hoping for the best with this one as well. Would love to mod it and throw 50-100 games on here upscaled to 1080p.
Right? I've been waiting to see if it's worth keeping the preorder on Amazon, but Sony is taking their sweet time I guess lol
I imagine Sony, like most entities in the video game space, are avoiding announcements this week due to Red Dead being the blockbuster to end all blockbusters for 2018.
In a week, once Paris Games Week is over, you'd really hope for at least another 5 titles to be confirmed.

PS4 is by far the most profitable console Sony ever had so far. The margin on hardware alone must be big, not to mention PS+, digital and Sony FP doing extremely well this gen.
Sony owns Syphon Filter so we probably will see that one. Tenchu is a huge question mark but I'm leaning towards no. We may see Intelligent Qube since Sony does own that one.
Some games have licensed music and American companies can be harder to deal with. But who really knows at this point?
Why not throw Psybadek into the mix since we're getting all xtreme.
This wasn't ready to be announced, right? Looks like at least the games aren't closed deals yet.
If they're just waiting for marketing purposes, sure it's weird.

twist: the other fifteen titles don't fit on the device and you need to delete the others to make some room
Well it's not like keeping the pre-order is costing you money? How is it a question of worth? :D
I mean it's cool that you're edgy and all but not everybody is into that hacky nonsense.

I'm almost 60 years old... and everyone I know hacks their retro consoles... because why wouldn't you? Thanks for thinking I'm edgy though... I suppose it's relative...
Whenever someone feels the need to mention that they load up whatever they can with ROMs all I can think of is the classic article "Why Spend $80 on an SNES Classic When You Can Install Emulators on a Raspberry Pi and Never Shut the Fuck Up About It?"
No, here we must project our loyalty to the corporations. Seriously, you'll get a ban for talking like that about roms. I was, and now you're next!
Well, I think the point is relevant in the context of this conversation. YMMV... whatever...
You have no idea how much I've played 1xtreme/espn at launch at my friends because it was one of the only games he got. So its inclusion would be nostalgic for me, LoL.
Has anyone heard if this thing is supposed to have any networking built in (wired or wireless)? Maybe no games are actually installed until you activate the device online, and then your regional titles are downloaded automatically.
Since some people have mentioned that these probably already have to have been packaged and shipped (assuming the original launch date holds), that's the best way I can think of them still working on licensing or whatever, at this point.

That would make sense, except I don't really see Sony adding to the cost of production with network capabilities just for that.
Nope, they have announced there is no official way to add games. Plus why pay for a WiFi chip
In these times or increasingly grotesque income disparity, I just want to say... fuck right off with that bullshit.
Joel from Last Gamer may know already this is it on his Insagram looks like it's at a Sony shop or something though.https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpd5eOslvvY
If it's on display hopefully that means we're in for an update this week
It's been complete radio silence since the original announcement ... Kinda crazy
I'd be at least prepared to cancel my preorder at this point, if I had one. It's pretty clear there's going to be at least some garbage filler in this thing. They would've announced the full lineup by now if it the slate lived up to its true potential given the deep PS1 library.
