This is actually something of an issue as the unit is a little fussy about where it's plugged in - hooking it up to a USB 3.0 port on a PC didn't work, while plugging it into an HDTV was fine. Powered by a mobile ARM chipset, the PlayStation Classic doesn't require much juice - you can power it using a micro USB phone charger, which is just as well as weirdly, there is no power adapter in the box. This connects to the micro-console via USB. Two replica PlayStation controllers are included - and these are facsimiles of the original controller, meaning digital control input only. The unit certainly looks the part, successfully replicating the look of original hardware but measuring just 47x104x33mm - a mere 45 per cent of the volume of the original machine - and as Sony says, smaller than the footprint of a PlayStation 4 game case. Something's up with the Sony PlayStation Classic - what should be a celebration of a truly iconic console is compromised by an uneven selection of games, sub-par emulation and the bizarre choice of using a mixture of both NTSC and PAL games in a machine with a locked 60Hz high definition output.
