SONY PLAYSTATION CLASSIC

Everything old is new again. $150 | WWW.PLAYSTATION.COM

Following in Nintendo’s success in releasing miniaturised versions of its NES and SNES consoles in the last couple of years, Sony has joined the throwback bandwagon with its own miniaturised PlayStation. The PlayStation Classic is 45% smaller than the original and is fitted with modern processors and a HDMI output, so it can play nice with today’s televisions. The PS Classic stores all of its 20 games locally and while there’s a lot to like, there are also some glaring omissions like Tony Hawk’s: Pro Skater 2, Crash Bandicoot or any of the 90s FIFA titles, to name a few.
