Sony to release itty bitty PS1 Classic this Christmas

Not one to let Nintendo hog all the fun, Sony will be releasing their own PlayStation Classic mini console, just in time for the system’s silver jubilee.

The itty bitty PS1 is 45% smaller than the original, and will come pre-loaded with 20 classic games. While Sony hasn’t made the full list available, it is confirmed to include fan favourites such as Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms.

The PlayStation Classic is set to launch on December 3rd, exactly 25 years after the original came out in Japan. It will retail for $129.99 CAD and comes with two digital controllers, an HDMI cable, and a USB charger. Like Nintendo, Sony is also requiring you to supply your own AC adapter. It is currently available for pre-order at select retailers.
