Sony just recently debuted their PlayStation Classic, taking a page from the nostalgic stylings of Nintendo with their mini-editions of fan favourites from the past. Though there are only five titles confirmed thus far – including Final Fantasy VII – there will still be more to reveal closer to release. Despite the trickling in news, gamers are not happy with how much Sony is asking for.

Above you can see the original announcement made by PlayStation earlier this morning, but not everybody was happy about it.
Put the bloody games on PSN. PS4 can easily emulate ps1 let me buy them there rather than buying this stupid thing.

Would rather have a console with backwards compatibility!!! Sony instead of forking money on remaking an outdated console why not build a new PlayStation with backwards compatibility feature? So we consumers don’t have to put up with shit PlayStation now :/ pic.twitter.com/8g9UmhoYfE
