Sony Playstation Classic: Unboxing the nostalgic console

Classic mini-consoles, a trend Nintendo set on fire with the NES Classic, are the perfect blend of nostalgia and modern technology. You get a compilation of your favorite classic games on an
adorably compact platform that easily connects to your TV. There’s no need to buy confusing wire adapters or surf eBay for games.
It’s no wonder gamers love the concept, but Sony's PlayStation Classic doesn't quite meet the expectations set by Nintendo’s hugely successful mini-consoles. In fact, it doesn't even come
close.

The PlayStation Classic lacks some signature titles that defined the PS1 era, and it offers no exciting bonus features that might make purchasing it worth the $100 price tag. Poor design
choices like a lack of additional save states, a missing USB AC adapter, and controllers with no analog sticks, give the impression the PlayStation Classic was slapped together with no love for
it's legacy of PS1 or consideration for its fans. It’s a missed opportunity by Sony, and a disappointment to those who anticipated an ode to an era of games they loved.

The Nintendo mini consoles are not only cheaper, but of better value and long-term worth. Sony also makes many original PlayStation titles available on other consoles through re-releases or PlayStation Now, and that’s a better way to enjoy them.

After reading your review, Felicia, the original playstation didn't come with an analog stick. You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Just because you don't like the games, doesn't mean America and elsewhere agree with you.
