The Backwards Compatibility program for Xbox One has been around for quite some time now with over 500 Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles available for fans to re-visit. For those that already own these games, the service is totally free and the team over at Microsoft couldn't help but to jest at Sony's expense for their attempt to reclaim nostalgia - despite their anti-backwards (free) compatibility stance this generation:

You mean, I don´t need to spend 99€ for a classic console with 20 games I might already own on disc?

That´s magic!
It's what I like to call consumer friendly.

I also like to call it 'For the Players' 😏
To be fair, there are many excited for the nostalgic blast from the past and many gamers have already been putting their favourite PS1 titles in the hat for potential reveals before the Classic Edition launches this December.
