I forgot to mention that the Playstation Classic is 100 bones. That is roughly 5 dollars per game. I guess that's a good deal per game wise, but I'm never going to play some of those games they are going to put on there. Therefore, that basically drives up the per game value a lot more when all things are considered.

If nothing else, $5 per game might be more of a bargain for me than the NES or SNES Classics were. Sure, the NES was more like $2 per game and the SNES was about $4 per game, but at the end of the day, I was only ever going to PLAY half the games on the NES and about a quarter of the games on the SNES. The games they chose were very much lacking in my eyes - and even the better ones weren't necessarily worth what they were charging.

(Especially in a world where illegal 80-in-1 game systems exist, and ROMs are a thing...)

With the PS Classic, I suspect it'll wind up having a much larger core of games I might actually play (though granted, I still OWN all my PS1 games, AND my PS1 and PS2, so I could play them right now if I wanted to, but we'll see).

And I can only assume Sony is clever enough to have longer controller cords, and won't pull artificial scarcity bullshit tactics that make it way too difficult to get, so those are additional bonuses.
