Now, here's something for the collectors among you. There's a place in all of our hearts for retro consoles, and the PSone is certainly among those. Sony's original grey box is a pretty understated design, but it's become something of an icon -- at least for PlayStation fans. If you're infatuated with the nostalgic machine, you may be interested in this new creation from Bandai.
Shown off at a recent Japanese trade fair, the toy maker is producing a 2:5 scale model of the original PlayStation and controller, and it looks wonderful. What makes this stand out is the meticulous detail. Not only does the outside look as it should, but every internal component has also been accurately reproduced. If you've ever wondered what the insides of your PSone looked like, this will give you an idea -- although you may need a magnifying glass.
The model in the images is a prototype, but a release is planned for March 2020 at the MSRP of 2,500 yen -- about £19 or $23. What do you think of this adorable mini PSone? Take a closer look in the comments below.

Looks better than the ps that was released a year ago
So they made a fully functioning PS1 at 2:5 that doesnt function? Lol. Cant you just get a OG ps1 and kill 2 birds?
@Nyne11Tyme @QualityGeezer That one hurt that they did not took the effort too make a good PS1 mini. I would have payed big if they made one where i could put in my original discs region free ofcourse. I only needed a HDMI upgrade.
@Flaming_Kaiser Yea i have a mini and its dissapointing for sure. I got it once it sropped all the way to 20 bones at target so i dont feel to ripped off
or you could just buy a REAL ps1 for about the same price... they are dirt cheap these days if you look locally...
@Nyne11Tyme have you messed around with beelmsync/autobleem yet? i paid $60 for mine and don't regret it one bit once i modded my psc. one of the highlights is perfect gb/gbc/gba emulation via retroarch and my 500 ps1 games library
@Nyne11Tyme I have to be honest even at 20 i think its a waste. I rather had them make the thing a little more expensive with more amd better games and better emulated. Still no Legend of Dragoon. 😤😤😤😤😤
2:5? What is that? 1:2,5? Isn't that a weird way to use scaling? I mean most models are measured like 1:XXX
@Flaming_Kaiser yea...if Sony has dropped the ball recently...dat mini...😂😂
@Nyne11Tyme 😭😭😭😭
