This seems great until you get to “optional dock” to play psOne disks. No thanks.

Can't PS1 discs be imaged on ordinary PC optical drives?

I could see not wanting to try to pair a premium device with the fading remnants of the optical drive market in 2025. Is there anything you can buy new in quantity at any level over "placeholder that will be lucky to last the length of the warranty?"

Let the user pick their own lemon, or use their old trusty Plextor or Pioneer drive from their Sandy Bridge PC.

Yes, and the games can be emulated using ordinary PC too.
