It would be better, yes, but it doesn't have any exclusives, just games that has been available for more than 20 years. You're essentially just paying for emulation. We covered this with the 2600 example, and the Wii Mini. If that option was available it could very well be a newer iteration of the console, and according to the previous definition you provide it would make it a console, and not just plug & play. But I buy for a buck the plug & play notion simply because that option is only available for free through hacking. I'll give it that it's more than just a Plug and Play. Buy there should also be a criteria of having exclusive games.

If the PS Classic is like that, I'd get one.

Supposedly the PC Classic is going to be like that, not the PlayStation Classic though.

Why would I joke about that? It would just have been a bad joke that wouldn't make sense.

Imperial Khador You thought he was kidding (so did I)... Video of a boring guy shilling his product. I saw this about a week ago, and I thought it was dead in the water. I understand why it is needed though. Retro PC gaming is a pain in the ass these days. However, most PC games required a keyboard and a mouse to play. I don't really see PC gamers willing to play with a controller.

I assumed it was a sly shot at consoles lack of backwards compatibility when compared with PCs. Didn't expect someone would have bothered with it

Yes, there are way too many mini consoles. That's what I was thinking when the NES mini came out. Now it's just getting ridiculous.
