    Could be, but it's also possible that the emulation and HDTVs are adding some input lag as well.

    Yet another fuck up to add to the long list of Sony fuck ups. It's like they're trying to make people switch to other console manufacturers.

    Apparently you can use a keyboard to access a menu letting you change the games to the NTSC versions.

    The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "save us!"......and I'll look down, and whisper "no."

    This is what Digital Foundry had to say about the emulation's quality:

    I went by Best Buy the other day and they had a ton of them there. If the game list were better, I might have picked one up but the list is just not hitting a home run for me either.

    from what I have read, pal or not, most of the games run like crap.
    a hacked snes classic runs them better for what ever reason.

    I am wondering if they got a crappy version of the emulator, or they are running a crappy version of the bios for a game console they created

    I pre-ordered one of these on the chance it turned out hard to get like the NES classic. Wound up returning it based on reviews and plentiful supply. I'll probably get one when they go on sale or clearance. Really too bad they missed so badly with this thing.

    I stopped by a local Wal-Mart, and they had four PlayStation Classics in their display case. Doesn't look like they've sold any, unless I'm mistaken (looked like there was room on the shelf for two more behind the four in the case). Oddly enough, there was no sign of the NES or SNES Classic in the Nintendo section of the display case; not sure if they've been discontinued again, or if they've sold out and haven't been replenished (didn't see price tags for them on the shelf).

    The NES and SNES Classic are going out of production again, yeah. Nintendo says once the holiday season stock sells out, that's it.

    Had a feeling that might be the case. Glad I got examples of both this past summer; hopefully, they'll be releasing revamped versions (and change their minds about the N64 Classic Edition) at some point. As far as the PlayStation Classic goes, hopefully the current model will be pulled from stores soon, and replaced with an improved unit. Granted, I have yet to experience its apparent issues for myself, but the concensus definitely hasn't been good.

    I just couldn't get into the NES Classic. I'll probably sell mine if anyone is interested. I don't like the look of the picture, the size of the console, the short controller, save states, lack of playing cartridges

    The Playstation Classic is already $30 dollars off at Amazon! How much cheaper do you think it'll go?

    Man, if Sony played their cards right, this could've been big. Pretty much everywhere I go wearing my PS logo hat I get comments from younger (about mid 20's or so) folk that get visibly nostalgic for the ol' Playstation.
