Sony\u2019s PlayStation Classic<\/u><\/a> is an amazing device, but we found it doesn\u2019t quite measure up<\/u><\/a> to Nintendo\u2019s NES and SNES nostalgia boxes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Namely, the PS1 revival machine\u2019s games catalog left out some of heavy-hitters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: Sony and Amazon have slashed the PlayStation Classic even further after Christmas to just $59.99 \u2013 a 40% or $40 discount.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sony PlayStation Classic: <\/strong>$100<\/del> $60 on Amazon<\/strong><\/a>
The PlayStation Classic is a retro gamer’s dream. Featuring a replicated (and micro-sized) PlayStation console, two controllers and 20 games, this is a great gift \u2013 at an amazing<\/strong> 40% off price \u2013 for the old-school gamer in your life.View Deal<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The PS Classic console itself is nearly worth the price alone: it\u2019s a faithfully-reproduced yet shrunken version of the original PlayStation with functioning buttons. The bundled-in pair of controllers are dead ringers for the ones that came with the first round of PS1 systems, though they don\u2019t have control sticks (thankfully, there are workarounds).<\/p>\n

Sadly, it doesn\u2019t have a functioning CD reader or lid, so you won\u2019t be able to play your old PS1 discs. You can\u2019t add more games digitally, either.<\/p>\n

But, for a reduced price, the list of games isn\u2019t bad, with classics like Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, Rayman, Resident Evil Director’s Cut and Metal Gear Solid headlining the console. The rest are a mix of cult classics and forgotten titles, so don\u2019t expect old favorites like Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider, Chrono Cross or Gran Turismo.<\/p>\n

A discounted $60 makes this nostalgia box an amazing buy \u2013 and, since it\u2019s shipped by Amazon, it will probably make it to you before Christmas break is over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
