[Pre-Order] PlayStation Classic $149 (Free C&C or + Delivery) @ The Gamesmen

285

Not a discount but a PSA

These are available for preorder now. Saw EB Games is not likely to offer preorder until 9am tomorrow and they are expecting to sell out quick.

Likely to be overvalued on eBay once released as it seems like there is limited stock (based on the below)

    You can buy a real one for that.

    • They are trying to copy with Nintendo.

      Except that they got the generation wrong. PS1s are modern enough and more easily accessible than SNES and NES.

      • +2

        Soooooo does this mean they got the generation right?

  • +3

    So what was everyone's favourite game for the PS1? For me mine was, Metal Gear Solid.

    • Biohazard,
      Vanguard bandits
      Crash bandicoot

    • The OG Resident Evil, Brigandine and Suikoden are the only ones I can still remember from those era. Oh and Winning Eleven (later became Pro Evo Soccer).

    • Dino crisis

    • PaRappa the Rapper

    • Twisted Metal

      Syphon Filter

    Juicy input lag.

    So many better options.

    RRP is not a bargain

    • +1

      Yep RRP and too early to say if there's going to be any sort of stock shortages or anything which would potentially warrant posting here. Full game lineup is also unknown.

      Even the OP states it's just a PSA, so it's better suited to forums.

  • Where's the bargain?. Community announcement was already made in the forums.

  • JB Hifi has it for only $1.99 delivery.

  • NES and SNES mini make sense, why PS1 classic..silly.

    • Exactly… more retrograde than retro with this console I think…

  • +3

    Nice just need Sega to produce a Dreamcast classic now👍

    • +3

      Waiting for the mini ps4 classic

      • not until PS2, PS3 Classic.

    • I thought long and hard about getting a Dreamcast when it first came out. A "Dreamcast Classic" would tempt me.

      US sites are talking about a $100 price tag for this. The Australia Tax is getting ridiculous.

      I wonder how many of the games will be ones that I would want (and don't already have). Will my old Dual Shock controller work on it? I need more data!

      This deal almost makes me want to get my PS out and check if it still works. I never did get around to finishing Medieval 2. Or Tomb Raider 3. Or…

  • AC adapter is not included, they did a Nintendo.

  • These mini consoles really need Bluetooth controllers I don't use my mini SNES as I don't want to sit 3 feet from the tv. I have been using retropie with a PS3 controller plays most games quite well.

    • yep, I've been using an extension cable, about $2 from ebay.

  • +1

    Why not just get some CFW on a PS3 and play every PS1 game?

    • +1

      Or PS Vita.

  • +2

    Looks like bargain as someone selling this for $600 @ eBay :D ;)

    • +1

      Wonder if he'll accept my offer of a buck.

  • Only 5 out of the 20 Games has been confirmed so far:

    Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms.

  • No Dual shock - deal breaker.

  • +1

    It can live in the cupboard with my SNES mini ;) and my imaginary 1:10 mclaren p1

  • Not a discount but a PSA

    So there's no bargain?

  • -5

    URGENT - Sony just announced this console will have Raytracing but alas you will be limited to 1080p @ 60fps

    EVEN MORE URGENT - Xbox One X for $89 Ebay with 100% seller rating 6 left and 18 sold today
