PSA: PS Classic $26 @Target w/cartwheel.
- Thread starter NLCPRESIDENT
- Start date
Shit yea! And not just any usb controllers - bomb ass name brand ones! I just got home with it, and I'm very pleased. It's my first "frivolous" purchase I've done in a while.
I Plan on going back on Thursday or Friday to see if they have more. If they do, I'm going to buy another one as well
UGHHH I thought it might so I planned on snagging a few when they bottomed out, but I figured it wouldn't happen. Oh well :/
Same. Closest Target is still too far away for me. I'm technically in the $20 camp.
I was gonna bite, but then someone said "PSTV" ITT and reminded me I already have a better PS classic setup.
Seriously, it's 6 bucks. People get crazy about this stuff haha
Thanks for the heads up OP. Went and bought two more. One for my bro for his Bday and another for a friend for her bday.
FYI to mod this you still need a usb 2.0 stick or a USB hub- the console can't handle the power draw of usb 3.0. So if you plan on modding this (and let's face it, you aaarrrr), be aware there may be a hidden cost. The next version of the bleemsync app will supposedly somehow allow the use of any usb stick, but release date for that is not clear.
Just solder the resistors on it and you are golden with any USB stick. Took like 30 seconds.
Nowhere near as good as the $35 rasberry pi 3 B+
Passable if you're fixed on the case design.

I mean... shit. I said I wasn't going to buy this for this price earlier in the thread, but I had no idea the PSTV shot up in price. The PlayStation Classic is absolutely following in the PSTV's footsteps pretty much exactly. I guess if I really do want the novelty of having this on my shelf gotta drop this much, huh?

Either that, or they'll just be gone. The pstv was fucking awesome. People needs change and things become more valuable. You know what I'd do for a 2019 Pstv? PSP games, vita, ps1, streaming apps, psnow, etc.. make it 4k compatible, with a lil remote. What? The thing was awesome. It was just introduced too early and the dualshock made it more expensive than it needed to be.
This is a good deal and around what I bought mine for. Once you hack and put your own games on there, it's pretty rad. Runs so much better with the retroarch Emulator as well. Also there will be updates that allow more USB drives and such to be used (At least with Bleemsync)
I was going to ask how the mod scene is for it. I would be completely fine with just getting an emulator on there that runs the games at a proper clip.
But I would absolutely love to get games on there that should have been on it to start with too.
I got one today based on this deal and can confirm that emulation is super easy. I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase and my only complaint is that the cords for the controllers are pretty short. I might get an 8bit-do brick to allow using wireless controllers with it.
Wait, my lightly-used PSTV is worth something?
*checks eBay*
...huh.
A couple of questions:
- How well does it run PS1 emulation with enhancements such as removed texture warping and 60fps support?
- Is there a way to add dual shock controllers outside of USB adapters?
- How much are loading times reduced with the alternative emulation?
Welp, all my Targets are sold out and this deal doesn't work with any online order including ship-to-store. RIP.
I bought one the other day with the intention of modding it, but I thought I'd try it out vanilla for a bit as well. Man... this thing is not good. No character to the menu and a bad game selection just meant that I scrolled around for a bit, started Tekken, saw that it was the European version (??? i read the reports beforehand, but seeing Sony Computer Entertainment Europe pop up was bizarre) and turned it off shortly after.
Very, very strange how shoddily the software was done considering how nice the packaging, case and the controllers are. I may just end up using the controllers for my rpi emulator box and not bother with modding, I'm undecided.

I was tempted to nab one of these from Target, but then I realized. . .
This is exactly what would happen with me, lol. Plus I'm too lazy to go about modding it and stuff. (But I do actually get some use out of my PSTV--love that little thing!)
I don't know how you can say this with a straight face.
You can't even get a Raspberry Pi, SD storage, and controller for that much.
Keep in mind that I have no interest in modifying the hardware.
