Anyone interested in getting this, wont find it much cheaper, hence the bargain.

Right but my point is that: "not only is it a bargain, but it's also a GOOD thing to buy with your money and worth the money"

I took your post to mean "if it's cheap it's a bargain... doesn't matter if it's good or not"

I think people are missing the point of this bargain alert. Sure there are other ways to play ps1 games, for free even, but the bargain is regarding this particular device. You won't get it much cheaper brand new at this time, so yeah, it is a bargain. Whether you think its worth the money is not really the point

A smart person would buy two; one for playing and one for putting up in the attic, forgotten about, then get a nice return from the investment 50 years from now when they're worth more than gold

Are the joypads same quality as the original controllers?

Yes they are, the exact same as the original ones.

What they should have done however is release it with the analogue controllers.

I've never collected a reservation of a "sold out" product from Argos before... should I assume that they will have it in stock on the dates they specify on the reservation, or do you get a notification via email when it's ready for pick up?

If you don't have a 6 digit reservation code it's not reserved and you won't be able to get it, their system is a bit crap that way. If you've got the code they'll be holding one for you

yeah I got a code (I think the only way you can get a reservation email is having a code?) ... ok grand I'll pop in on the first day mentioned in the email

Sometimes you can click through to reserve and it'll say sold out, and send you a blank email. Then they don't have it. That was happening loads to me last week with these but sounds like you got through OK, they'll definitely have it and will hold it for the two days mentioned :-)

I bought one Friday and sold it in CeX on Saturday. I hacked it but all the faffing around getting a compatible USB annoyed me. Also there's no wifi or ethernet so to add games it's all very tedious in my opinion. Main thing that struck me was that they were actually charging €100 for this a few months ago. In my opinion it was very very basic and worth about €20.

I'll actually be chuffed to play MGS and Res Evil 1 on the default setup.

That alone will be worth asking price for me.

Will Autobleem it later though and prob just make it a Mame machine... need my Willow fix.

Just reserved one in Letterkenny. Not sure if I want it yet or not though!

Seem sold out in Dublin now.

and now I feel old.

Great.

Imagine how I felt when kids were buying the NES Classic for their granddad


Just picked this up. The box is a hell of a lot bigger than the NES / SNES Classic boxes... just in case you were planning on toting it in your handbag / manbag

Haha he's actually not old he's only 46. Had me young!

I wouldn't have minded one myself but can just try his

I had one ordered for collection in Waterford. I received the notification that it was available yesterday.
After reading some of the comments on here, I wasn't going to bother collecting it... I am so glad I decided to give it a go.

I think it's great. Autobleem took nothing to setup as I have a compatible sd card and a whole back catalogue is open to me, but what I wasn't expecting was that Destruction Derby is included. It's one of the games I bought with my PS on releases in 95. And it has 2 pads... Fricken sweet.

I'm sorted.
Now I have to dig up Warhawk and Crazy Ivan... and Air Combat.

Thanks OP.

A great piece of kit.

Just pick one up in Tallaght Cheers OP!
