FOLLOWING in Nintendo's footsteps, Sony has announced the PlayStation Classic, a miniaturised version of their ground-breaking original home console.
It's coming out worldwide on December 3, and will come with two original, wired PlayStation controllers, and be pre-loaded with 20 games.
The whole lot will cost you £89.99. That includes an HDMI cable to attach it to your telly, but not a power supply -- you'll have to supply your own.
Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms are the first games to be confirmed for miniaturised console, with more to follow.
"All of the preloaded games will be playable in their original format," Sony says.
The two controllers can be used for "local multiplayer within compatible titles", though it seems that online play is off the table as the PlayStation classic doesn't look to have any networking features.
The mini console, 45 per cent smaller than the original, comes after Nintendo saw massive success with the Nintendo Classic Mini line, featuring the NES Mini and Super Nintendo Mini.
Both came with original controllers, pre-installed games, a miniaturised form factor, and packaging similar to the original consoles.
They also both sold out shortly after launch, and have sold in the millions worldwide since.
