Oh geez, the PS classic haha. I remember I was working at Target at the time for a few years when SNES classic and Sony PSX classic came out, and I worked in electronics/games and toys. Let me tell ya the SNES classics we'd get 7-10 in they'd be sold out by the end of the day most of the time half way through the day they were all gone. We had to tell people one per customer lol. The PS Classic mini however collected dust for months, and had 3 price drops lol. I sold 2 in a matter of like 6 months no joke. Hacking all of them is great but stock, man the SNES mini wiped the floor with the PS mini.

Only problem with the Playstation Classic is the input lag. However, funny fact, the USB controllers connected to a computer are one of the controllers with the least input lag, perfect for MisTer FPGA.
