I told myself I'd buy it at $20 yet here I am still apprehensive about it.

i don't think anyone thought this was gonna flop this hard when it was announced.
i am a little bit surprised that there's still so much stock left, they must have WAY overestimated the demand for this and produce a fuck ton of units for launch, since there's no way they made any post-launch.

Did say I'll buy one when it's 20. Done.

I want to replay Digimon World 1 and 3. I no longer have a working PS 1 or 2.

I picked it up, seems easy to mod. If not, Revelations: Persona & FF7 will keep me busy when I'm bored. Only thing I'm worried about is no Dualstick, did any later era JRPGs use the dualstick? I ran into this issue with the PSP too.

Edit: USB inputs, I'll thrive.

At this point, i'll just get it for the USB controller to use on PC with a much better PSX emulator like Bettle PSX and toss the actual classic to the dumpster.

Can you fix the horrible emulation through modding? What systems can the console run? I heard about the potential of PSP?

It's insane that this failed so hard compared to the NES and SNES Classics.

I mean, not with how the product ended up being, but in concept.

Well, it is missing a lot of the games people would associate with PlayStation at that time. I can understand no Gran Turismo but they should have gotten Tomb Raider or Crash to tie into the collection, definitely Wipeout, or even Captain Blasto.

Yeah, hows the modding on this? I'll get one if the modding is worth the value.
Beat bang for the buck if you're modding it, hands down. Better results than Raspberry Pi, AND cheaper than Raspberry Pi. If you order now, we will throw in a nostalgic "PlayStation enclosure" for free. But wait, there's more! If you order now, we will throw in a second USB Controller! All this for $19.99! Plus S&H

If the emulation wasn't garbage I would have bought it at $50ish, but the poor selection of games coupled with the poor emulation make this a novelty at best.

Not entirely Sony's fault, given the legal red tape around several of those franchises.


Well damn, that just sweetens the deal even more for me.

I just don't think the nostalgia market is there for PS1 like it is for Genesis and Nintendo

Ahhhh, I'll buy it at a high price!
Seriously though, will see if I can pick one up tomorrow. For $20, it's worth it.
