Sony unveiled the PlayStation Classic back in 2018 in an attempt to emulate the successes of Nintendo’s NES Classic Mini and SNES Classic Mini. All these years on, the plug-and-play mini-console is no longer manufactured so it’s difficult to find it in stock, let alone at a reduced price. That means any stores that still sell it have bumped up the price given the limited stock.
We had previously seen the console for as low as $40/£45 in some cases, but it’s now around double that price at most retailers. That makes it about the same as the launch price of the PlayStation Classic, which was $99.99 in the US, £89.99 in the UK and $149.99 in Australia. If you do still want to relive your gaming past, we’ve nevertheless gathered together where you can still buy the PlayStation Classic for the best prices below.
The PlayStation Classic comes with two replica controllers in the box, along with an HDMI cable and a USB cable. It needs a USB AC adapter for power though (and this isn’t included in the box) so you’ll need to get one of those separately or use the 5V charger from a phone or tablet.
