Earlier this week,Amazon Prime Dayoffered steep discounts on a wide variety of video games and video game accessories. One piece of hardware that got one of the biggest discounts was Sony’s PlayStation Classic, a retro mini console that didn’t exactly light the world on fire at its original $100 price. Amazon dropped the price of the PlayStation Classic to a much more appealing $20 during its Prime Day festivities, with other retailers like Best Buy following suit. But whereas the PlayStation Classic has returned to a slightly higher price at most retailers, Best Buy has once again slashed its price to just $20.
$20 is the lowest price that we’ve seen the PlayStation Classic at, and anyone that wants to take advantage of the deal can purchase one from Best Buy by clickinghere. The PlayStation Classic is certainly not without its flaws, but it’s still a steal at $20, with some absolute gaming classics as part of its lineup.
Thelist of PlayStation Classic gamesincludes some landmark video game releases likeFinal Fantasy 7andMetal Gear Solid. Other major titles includeResident Evil: Director’s Cutand the critically-acclaimed fighting gameTekken 3. It’s true that the PlayStation Classic uses the inferior PAL versions of the games, but even so getting all these titles for $20 is quite the bargain.

Unfortunately for those hoping to see Sony release an upgraded version of the mini console that addresses some of thecurrent PS Classic’s flaws, that doesn’t seem like it’s in the cards. The PlayStation Classic failed to generate even a fraction of the interest as the NES and SNES Classics, which is partly why we’re seeing such steep price cuts for it with this Best Buy deal and similar sales at other retailers.
However, the failure of thePlayStation Classicdoesn’t mean the retro mini console craze is over. On the contrary, other companies are also gearing up to release their own mini consoles, with a Sega Genesis Mini in the works that includes 40 games.
