    The PS classic is really bad when it was $100, but at a 75% its a good buy, and if you know how to hack it, wow its a steal of a deal.

    When this was first announced, I was extremely excited. A list of PS1 classic, combined with the esthetic of the PS1 mini and authentic controllers? What could go wrong? Well... the user interface and list of games are lack-luster and extremely disappointing. Especially for the price point at the time.

    For the first, time, i finally own, the, very first PlayStation grey box. Not thee original, but, it's very close enough. This honestly is, worth it. The games are just as they where, from the 90's. When i came home to play it, the first game i played was, Tekken 3. I used to play this game every time, i went to the mall, with my pockets full of quaters, & it was amazing, when i was playing Tekken 3, i didn't have to keep pooring quaters into the game, for when i lost. I know right! All you have to do is press start, & boom won th match. Anyway, great classic game's great come back.

    Got it for 20 bucks, it's not the best idea from Sony but for 20 bucks why not.

    Classic games that started the craze & more! Brings back a lot of memories! More classic games would have been better, but I'm pretty happy with it.

    These retro classic consoles are great! However, this one is not. It has a terrible selection of games. Period. Many of these games are the 'Roms' from other DVD encoded regions, like the european PAL format. So some of these games run at a lower refresh rate than American TVs.... This console is awful, and it should only be sold for about $30-40.

    For $59.99 it’s a smoking deal. Playing the pre-loaded games brought back memories when I was a little boy, when I used to play with the neighborhood kids.

    This console can definitely bring back the nostalgia, but it isn't worth the nostalgia for anything more than $25. Some cool game choices on here, though more should have definitely been added.

    Not worth the money in my opinion, so I returned it. Poor selection of games was a deal-breaker.

    I love it! I haven't had this much fun in a long time, the game selection is a bit short, but no worries as you'll have lots of fun playing these classics.

    Amazing set of games preloaded and an amazing party favor at parties. Love how small it is. Unbelievably small. The thing fits in your pocket. I love it.

    Reminisce the good old days. I have played the classic miniature of Nintendo. I like the two control package and some titles. Okay comeback to a classic.

    On it's own the PS Classic fumbles the important stuff - PAL region games that play at slower frame rates, a head scratching assortment of "classic" games with more than a few notable omissions, and no dual shock controller support. However, with some creative digging it seems that many of these issues can be addressed if you know ho to use google. Which, I'm guessing you probably do.

    I bought this and for the price it was hard to pass up. They had mods for this too . I haven’t done it yet but I like that you can expand on it .
