PlayStation Classic is Sony's new throwback games console

As we all witnessed with the NES Classic Edition hype, people can't get enough of throwback miniature consoles.

Sony is jumping in on the action with its PlayStation Classic, set to be released on Dec. 3 at the very-attractive price of $99.99 (A$149.99).

The console will come preloaded with 20 classic titles, including Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms.

The Classic is approximately 45 percent smaller than the original PlayStation, but Sony has emulated the same layout and grey colourway you've grown to know and love.

Each unit has a HDMI cable to connect to the console to your TV, a USB cable, and two controllers for multiplayer, but the AC adapter is sold separately.

It goes without saying that the PlayStation Classic is hotly tipped to be a popular stocking stuffer this year.

Hopefully, Sony might be able to avoid the supply problems Nintendo faced when it came to NES Classic Edition demand, resulting in vastly inflated eBay prices. Hopefully.
