To celebrate the 24 birthday of the PlayStation
console, Sony is releasing a PlayStation Classic edition on December 3. The PlayStation Classic looks
identical to its forebear, including all the same buttons and looks (although
there's no actual disk reader under that hood) but has shrunken 45% compared to
the original.
Bundled with two original controllers and 20 games,
including Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Ridge Racer Type 4 and Wild Arms, the
PlayStation Classic will be ready to plug and play and even offer local
multiplayer on supported titles.
Sony let's you register your interest in a PlayStation
Classic right now and will start selling it for a modest US$ 99 on December 3 (the
date the original PlayStation was released in Japan). It will be interesting to see if
Sony's PlayStation Classic is as hard to get a hold of as the US$ 80 Super Nintendo
Classic Edition was when it launched in 2017.
