Playstation Classic on sale for less than $ 30: save 70% at Walmart

TL; DR: The retro-inspired Playstation Classic normally sells for $ 99.99, but Walmart sells it for $ 29.99, a 70% discount.

The Playstation 5 looks cool and everything – really, really cool, actually – but you can not beat the nostalgic factor of an original Playstation console. You know this one: it looked like a gray brick, had a low resolution of 640×480 and left you a lasting love for Crash Bandicoot. (Let's not talk about this lame overhaul, though.)

Sony abandoned this console in 2006, leaving fans of the Playstation OG dedicated to browse ebay in the hope of finding it for sale – that is to say until it publishes a replica called Playstation Classic on the occasion of the 24th anniversary of its launch in 1996.

With a retail price of $ 99.99, the Playstation Classic is a great bargain compared to the original console, selling for $ 299 a day. But you can get one for even less if you shop at Walmart, where the Playstation Classic consoles are currently on sale for $ 29.99.

Sony regards the Classic as a "reinvented" version of the original, after having reduced it to a miniature size and preloaded with favorite retro games from fans such as Final Fantasy VII, Resident Evil: Editing Director, and Ridge Racer Type 4. It comes with its own virtual memory card and an HDMI cable for connection to your TV, as well as two wired controllers that look like their predecessors, with only four buttons on the shoulder instead of two.

A Walmart Me customer called the PlayStation Classic a great idea in his commentary on the console:

"Great selection of games that I grew up in. Now I can play them again without having to find each disc. I recommend it without hesitation"

Go to the Walmart site to get one for only $ 29.99 – a huge savings of $ 40.
