Lebronwon 12/17/18 6:09:05 PM #1:	https://www.techspot.com/news/77898-playstation-classic-launch-sales-fail-impress-japan.html According to a report from Media Create, this has led to weaker-than-expected sales of the console in Japan. During the first week, only 120,000 units were sold, and while that may sound like a lot, it pales in comparison to the 369,000 SNES Classic units that sold in the country during its first four days after launch. That is what Sony gets for a crappy cash grab. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:914294068] in The PS Cla...

Final Fantasy VII is easily obtainable on the PS3 or PS4 If you're a real hardcore Metal Gear fan you should buy Metal Gear The Legacy Collection for PS3 Wild Arms and RE Directors Cut are on PS One Classics PS3 So you'd be paying $100 for Revelations: Persona, and you could probably obtain the disc version (which will play on a PS3) for cheaper. <cite>cmiller4642 posted [p:914297968] in The PS Cla...

Darmik 12/17/18 7:21:43 PM #31:	There's so many fan servicey things they could have done even outside of the library. Like the menu. Instead of a crappy powerpoint background what if it was the same menu as the old PS1 demo disc? Even throw in the dinosaur tech demo and cheesy music videos for nostalgia purposes. Just something that makes it look like they gave a shit. Their commercials nail nostalgia well but they absolutely suck at it when it comes to delivering it on their content.
