Earlier this year, Sony mentioned that it was thinking about creating a PlayStation Cl𝔍assic console in the vein of Nintendo's recently released NES and SNES minis, which were smaller but more powerful versions of the original systems with an attracti🧸ve library of games pre-installed with newly upscaled resolutions. 

Well, it looks like Sony has finally put those thoughts inꦺto action with , which was announced today with a December 3, 2018 release date and launch RRP of £89.99/$99.99 in the UK and US respectively. 

to express which classic PlayStation game🧜s you'd like to see making a return via Sony🔴's revamped console.

45% smaller than the PS1 and bearing a HDMI port for crystal clear, high-definition gaming, the Classic is packaged in a wonderfully retro box, which includes two original PlayStation controllers to plug into the ports where the system's memory cards would originally go (Remember those? Don't worry, a digital memory card is already built into the software). However, the only power option inclu🍨ded is a USB-Universal cable, so you'll need to have your own AC adapter for actually plugging in and starting up the console from day one. 

Given what we know about the retail woes of the S♕NES and NES Mini (though that was partly a result of Nintendo's ridiculously limited supply), you're going to need to pre-order the PlayStation Classic ASAP if you intend to get your hands on one by this Christmas. Sony has told any eager customers to stay tuned to for incoming details about how to buy the Classic, and its regional availability, so the only thing you can do right now is wait for more details to come in, before hitting that pre-order buttonಞ with every disposable digit you have.
