This looks great (at least on paper), but I have to admit that I’m a little put off by an extra charge for a whole add-on piece of hardware — to come at a later date — to play physical PS1 discs. Half the point of these consoles is the ability to play original media as close to 1:1 performance and accuracy with their original hardware as possible, but on modern displays (and, in some cases, controllers and other accessories). That said, I don’t think they have a whole lot of competition for plug-and-play PS1 FPGAs, so I guess they more or less get to do whatever they feel they need to do to ship.
