Sony released the PlayStation Classic mini-console in December for $100 USD. It was very quickly discounted to $60 and now you can get it for $40 or less. Retailer Best Buy has now rolled out a new deal where it’s giving the mini retro console away for free when you buy a new PS4 Pro.

It’s a pretty simple deal–buy a $400 USD PS4 Pro and you get a PlayStation Classic for nothing extra. Go to Best Buy’s website here to see the listing at Best Buy. The deal was spotted by Wario64.

A warning of sorts is in order for the PlayStation Classic. In GameSpot’s PlayStation Classic review, critic Peter Brown wasn’t thrilled with the retro console. “The PS Classic doesn’t feel like a celebration of PlayStation’s formative years the way Nintendo’s systems do,” he wrote.

The PlayStation Classic comes with 20 games pre-installed, including classics like Metal Gear Solid and the original Grand Theft Auto, as well as Resident Cvil Director’s Cut, Rayman, and Twisted Metal. You can see the full list of games below.

It hasn’t been mentioned by EA yet, but most EA-published titles are available early for EA/Origin Access subscribers, so that may be another way to play early.
