The system connects to the TV through an HDMI and powered by a micro USB cable. The system originally does not come with AC adapter but you need one if your TV does not have USB ports.

The disc tray is decorative and not a working part. The Console will come with 20 preloaded games. Sony says they will be favorite and may vary depending on the region. It will include games like Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Wild Arms, Ridge Racer Type 4.

According to Sony’s blog, it seems like players will not be able to download any game online. It will come with the preloaded games and you can save your progress or reset everything using the given buttons.
