It seems like some kind of relaunch for the PlayStation Gear brand is on the way. The PlayStation Gear website was long the source of all kinds of PlayStation-focused merchandise, and the brand itself is used for various convention and event appearances where even more PlayStation fans can trade cash for merch. But not long ago, the website seemed to have been killed off, replaced with a GameStop-slash-Think Geek partnership. Now, things are changing once again.
Before, without much in the way of an announcement, the PlayStation Gear website URL was quietly redirected to GameStop’s official website, where various pieces of branded merchandise could still be purchased. Now that URL redirect is gone, and has been replaced with a signup widget for a mailing list. As you can see in the screenshot above, the new website promises that “something awesome” is imminent, and that subscribing to the mailing list will net fans “an exclusive invite.”
It’s possible that we’re on the verge of a new storefront from PlayStation Gear, with the GameStop business being some sort of placeholder while things got moving behind the scenes. But that’s just thinking out loud until signing up for that mailing list leads to an official announcement, and we learn exactly what’s going on.
What PlayStation Classic Games Do You Want?
With the PlayStation Classic now confirmed, we asked the PSLS staff what games they want to see come with the mini console.
Chandler Wood
Metal Gear Solid is my top pick. It's a defining PS1 game, and I think the PlayStation Classic needs to be loaded with games that defined the system. I'd also love to see Twisted Metal 2, and while I want other Final Fantasy games, I also think that one FF game in Final Fantasy VII is enough. There are only 20 spots after all.
Michael Briers
A long shot this but I'd love to see Vigilante 8 and/or Future Cop LAPD.
Jenni Lada
It is completely unrealistic, but I want Bust a Groove on there. I need an easy way to dance along to "Sora to Umi to Niji no Yume," "2 Bad," and "I luv hamburgers."
Keri Honea
There had better be some Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on there.
Cameron Teague
I would love for Suikoden and Twisted Metal.
Uros Pavlovic
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.

I second a request for Grand Theft Auto 2, alongside Twisted Metal. Would be great to see. But why should we have to put a wishlist together? A console like this should include storage space, and a store to simply buy classics that we want...But then I guess it might not also only be $100...Oh well.
Anthony Severino
Great suggestions so far from the PSLS team. Twisted Metal and Symphony of the Night are musts, IMO. Would also like to see Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Wipeout, FF Tactics (my fav game ever), Silent Hill, or any other games that helped propel PlayStation into stardom.
Heath Hindman
Hard to remember which ones really need analog sticks.
The system was an absolute RPG powerhouse, so it's great to see Final Fantasy VII and Wild ARMs on there right off the bat. I say add Breath of Fire III and Valkyrie Profile for sure, maybe Final Fantasy Tactics if they feel there's room for more than one FF on there.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night's a no-brainer.
Wipeout 3 to get a racer in there, Intelligent Qube because it's timeless and amazing, and is Tomb Raider too redone and too far along now to revisit it by putting Tomb Raider II on this thing? That one had tank-control gameplay doable without analog sticks IIRC, saving anywhere instead of just stupid crystals, and it's the one where Lara's boobs stopped being triangles...
...So I hear...from my...friend....
