The PS 'Classic' has been derided and badly review for a number of reasons but particularly for its far from stella list of included games. There are undoubtedly some true classics but at least half the games wouldn't make any PS top 20 list.

The absence of at least TR1, a game which pretty much popularized the Playstation brand and made it what it is was the most baffling omission.

The 'good' thing is that the machine is easily hackable (apparently) and with the right tools and the original games you can actually install whatever you want on it.

The main benefit over an actual PS/PSOne/PS2 is the HDMI output and the fact is that the good games on it just about justify the cost now it has been reduced ie. if bought from the PSN store or original discs they would cost you more. So it does have some raison d'etre unless you already own a PS3.
