Sony Announces the Playstation Classic
Sony
Interactive Entertainment has today announced that PlayStation Classic,
a miniature games console that mirrors the look of the original
PlayStation and comes preloaded with 20 original games, will launch in
limited quantities on December 3, 2018, in Japan, North America, Europe,
Australia and New Zealand. PlayStation Classic will be available at a
recommended retail price of $149.99 AUD.
The
original PlayStation made its debut in Japan on December 3, 1994, and
with landmark innovations such as enabling real-time 3DCG rendering and
adopting CD-ROMs had a huge impact on the games industry in the 1990s
and beyond.
The
design of the PlayStation Classic resembles PlayStation, including the
button layout, as well as controllers and outer package, but in a
miniature size, it is 45% smaller on the sides and 80% smaller in volume
than the original console. Pre-loaded with 20 PlayStation games such as Final Fantasy VII (SQUARE ENIX Co., LTD.), Jumping Flash! (SIE), R4 RIDGE RACER TYPE 4, Tekken 3 (BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc.), and Wild Arms (SIE).
PlayStation Classic is a perfect fit for nostalgic PlayStation fans
that enjoyed playing the original PlayStation as well as gamers new to
PlayStation who want to experience classic PlayStation games from the
1990s.
PlayStation Classic includes an HDMI™ cable for connecting to an external displays such as TV
monitors, and a USB cable which needs to be connected to a commercially sold USB AC Adaptor for power supply from the plug. On select supported titles, users can play with or against their friends with the two Controllers included with the console.
Sony will continue to further expand its software portfolio across PlayStation platforms as well as its
network services to deliver entertainment experiences that are only possible on PlayStation.
