The response on social media has been mixed with enthusiasm and disappointment with Sony's selection of games.
That lineup is missing so many key games. Twisted Metal 2, Resident Evil 2 & 3, Gran Turismo 1 or 2, Crash Team Racing, Silent Hill, Dino Crisis 2, Ace Combat 1 & 2, Chrono Cross, Tomb Raider, Legacy of Kain, Tony Hawk (tho music licensing surely is an issue there).

Release date, price of mini PlayStation
The PlayStation Classic will be available in the U.S. and Canada starting Dec. 3 for $99.99. However, the mini console is already available for pre-order at select retailers. It will come with two controllers, an HDMI cable and "many hours of fun," according to Sony.
Sony joins Nintendo in the market for '90s gamers after their wildly successful sales with NES Classic Edition, a miniature version of the old console.
