Sony is following in Nintendo’s footsteps and bringing back its original PlayStation console nearly 25 years after its initial release as a miniature gaming device called the PlayStation Classic, the company announced today. The device is now up for preorder at Best Buy, Walmart, and GameStop for $99.99 (€99.99 / 9,980 yen / £89.99) and, similar to Nintendo’s NES and SNES Classic consoles, will come pre-loaded with 20 “genre-defining” titles, including Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, and Ridge Racer Type 4. The device will launch globally on December 3rd.

In addition to a standard mini-PlayStation, buyers will also get two classic PS1 controllers for games that support local multiplayer when they purchase the bundle. We don’t yet have a full list of games, but Sony’s press release confirms two other titles: Jumping Flash and Wild Arms.

Or you could always just buy a Raspberry Pi and make your own emulation machine that can play Nintendo and Sony games without having to fork over the added funds for one of these machines whose only appeal is the case it's in.

Not sure why these machines are that popular unless it's just for novelty sake.
