Looking at some of these games on PSN, they seem to be either relatively cheap (<=£3.99 - £7.99) or they're unavailable (e.g. Battle Arena Toshinden).

None of these things ever make any kind of economic sense.

i'll just stick with my PSTV and slap some PS1 games on there. This lineup is not worth $99 - It feels as if Sony doesn't really understand it's audience.
I'll still follow any news on this, see how this will be hacked.

The original PS controllers without sticks are a no go for me.

The lack of Spyro and Crash is understandable, though, since those have just been remade.

I guess, I'll stick to my PSTV and print it a PlayStation style case.

Whoa whoa whoa I never imagined it would have Revelations Persona on it

Yeah, I know. I thought it was going to be just the earlier announced games (FF7, Tekken3, Wild Arms, Ridge Racer 4), and then all noname filler .
But it also got Destruction Derby, Twisted Metal, Persona, Rayman, Resident Evil. Those were good and popular.
Also, I see many games with nostalgic value for me, like GTA, Syphon Filter, Battle Arena Toshinden, and Oddworld.

I expected the game list to be bad, but it is actually quite good. It has some filler from my point of view, but perhaps that filler has nostalgic value for somebody else.

(of course you can't expect it to include everything worth playing on PS1 unless you add some more 100 games)

While its a cool little idea, I think the PSTV is a better one.

fvig2001 · Oct 29, 2018

Oh well. I wasn't really going to buy it but it makes me want to mod my PS TV to actually be a better version of this.

duwen · Oct 29, 2018

So, out of the titles included I'd actually want to play that I don't own an original physical PS1 disk for there's only Revelations Persona... and I have the PSP version of that on my Vita.

Any one know what the Japanese version titles are?

I like the list except for the fact that 20 games is too few for this price tag. It should be at least 30, IMO.

InsaneNutter · Oct 29, 2018

Can't say the list of games is amazing, some fantastic games are missing such as:

Circuit Breakers
Crash Bandicoot 1-3
Croc
Destruction Derby 2
Tomb Raider 1-3
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1-2 (3rd was far better on the next gen of consoles)
Wipeout 2097

I never owned a Sony console but to me the choice looks good so far.
Anyway I've got a hackable Switch with RetroArch which is to be prefered over this by a hundred times.

duwen · Oct 29, 2018

ok, so I found the list of titles for the Japanese version, and imo it's much better...

edit: Ninja'd

...just a shame that some of the different titles included in this version would rely on understanding Japanese to play coherently.

SuperDan · Oct 29, 2018

20 games isn't much ? no R Type Delta ? No Street Fighter EX Plus? i will just play PS1 on my Phone

andyhappypants · Oct 29, 2018

Ridge 4 with no Jogcon?? Thats gonna suck using a dpad

Luhof · Oct 29, 2018

A bit disappointing to me. I was looking forward gifting one to my little brother so he could see the glorious days of PS1 he didn't lived. But I don't see many game in here that define my nostalgia fuel (Rayman excepted).
It's a no-buy for me unless it gets hackable and -finger crossed- we get analog stick controller support.

dmace81 · Oct 29, 2018

Wow can't believe no wipeout game, no gran turismo, no castlevania, no gex, no tomb raider, no tony hawk, no air combat game, no alundra, no silent hill, and no parrapa the rapper. What a rip off. Imagine that Japan gets better.

duwen · Oct 29, 2018

Why the fuck no Klonoa? It's not like there aren't any other Namco games on it. I love Mr Driller, but I'd take Klonoa over it any day!

TyBlood13 · Oct 29, 2018

For not having Dualshock controllers I think the game list is fine. Persona 1 is certainly a surprise, but otherwise this seems nice for the casual crowd.

Buying a hackable PSTV and controller in decent condition in the UK will cost you more than this.

yea, the current prices of PSTVs seem to have skyrocketed. A few years ago, they were on clearance for less than 30€ everywhere.

And a Dualshock 4 controller is also 40€+ (depending on how good of a deal you can find), but a DS3 can be purchased considerably cheaper. So with current prices, you'll need to have a little bit of luck to come out at a similar price point like this.

Not impossible, but not easy, either.

Right, why would anyone buy one of these when you could build a time machine and go back and buy a pstv on clearance? (not forgetting that there were a limited number of them at that price, so if everyone did travel back in time then the price would have skyrocketed back then anyway).
