PlayStation Classic FAQ - All of your questions answered

Got a question about the PlayStation Classic? Chances are we've answered it below. Feel free to pester us in the comments as well, where we'll aim to answer additional questions.

What is the PlayStation Classic?

PlayStation Classic is a miniaturised version of the original PlayStation — 45% smaller, to be precise. Rather than functioning as a full-blown console, the system has been pre-loaded with 20 of the best PSone games. You can't play your own games on PlayStation Classic, as the disc drive doesn't function and is too small to carry CDs. Instead, you simply plug the console into your TV and a USB power supply, and you'll have access to the 20 on-board games. It also comes with two full-size, original style PSone controllers for that extra retro feel.

The Reset button on the PlayStation Classic pauses your progress in the game you're playing, while you use the disc eject button to select your game. You won't need any miniature memory cards, as the system will have built-in memory so you can save all your progress.

Is the PlayStation Classic any good?

We rather like the PS Classic, but it's certainly not without its flaws. The design is meticulously detailed and it all runs efficiently, but there are some cases of inferior emulation that could potentially sour the experience. The choice of games is pretty strong, but there are some glaring omissions that perhaps belong on the PlayStation Classic more than some of the included titles.
