Customer Ratings & Reviews

Reading reviews when it first came out, it turns out to be true with no adapter, majority of games in PAL. I do love the size, the controllers, but this had so much potential to be fun, the menu is even boring. But lucky I'm able to mod to put the games that I want and to do some customizations. But definitely worth 30 would have been happy for 20. But 100? Come on Sony, not even worth 50. But if anyone buys it, make sure you mod.

I bought this for my 5 year old and she loves it. Included games are good enough for an unsophisticated gamer and it is simple to set-up and operate. Pros: Inexpensive ($20-$50 on sale) Easy to use Good selection of games 20 games included 2 controllers included No moving parts Small size Cons: Not very durable Not worth original price ($100+) No a.c. adapter included (easily available though) Games may not hold interest of more experienced gamers.

If you Played PS1 and the PS2 back in day you’ll love this Small Miniature Console. Comes with 2 Controllers along with a handful of Pre-Installed Games that we’re Hits back then. Also I’m sure you all remember the Memory Cards that costed if I remember correctly a decent amount an here we are in 2019 with GBs of memory and back then they were only 32MB Memory Cards. This comes with its own built in Memory so no Memory Cards that you'll have to worry about whatsoever. As for it’s Graphics there Better than the Graphics on the Original PS1 I can Promise you that as you use a HDMI Cable for Connecting it to your Smart TV with. Practically everything is better not to forget the Size lol the only thing is you can’t Play other PS1 Games on this PS1 only the ones that are Installed on it are Playable. Still it’s a Bang for your Buck specially for what I Purchased it for just a measly $19.99 plus tax!

Looks amazing, poor original game selection, but then you add the usb flash drive mod it really comes to life. 120% worth it with the Mod. I have 4000+ games on my playstation classic now. I highly recommend a 64gb usb flash drive, autobleem, and 8bitdo wireless adapter(amazon, or eBay) for the perfect set up. YouTube "how to" mod playstation classic.

Its a nice addition to the nostalgic collector. Decent amount of games and it comes with a second controller. Its priced nice at 39.99 just wish it wasn't so expensive at launch 99.99

The Sony PlayStation Classic Edition has arrived! This thing comes packed with games like Resident Evil Directors Cut, a game so terrifying it utterly screams to be played. And it also comes preloaded with Metal Gear Solid, the one and the only Metal Gear that is the tactical espionage legendary game. Or maybe your feeling up for hitting the slopes In coolboarders 2 where you can trick out for some maximum pointage. Discover all of the 20 pre installed games and decide for yourself.

A bit underwhelming in comparison to other classic models but it’s pretty good. Just keep in mind it doesn’t come with an A/C adaptor, just the USB power cord.

The Playstation Classic is a decent little plug and play retro console, but it does have a few issues. For starters the game selection is decent but not perfect for every Final Fantasy VII and Super Puzzle Fighter there is a Cool Boarders game and slowed down versions of GTA (due to it being the European version of the game.). The cable to power on the system can't just plug into the TV it requires a plug, considering that the NES and SNES Classics can both work plugged into the TV it's really comes across as a let down. I would only recommend this if you can tolerate these issues and are a die hard Playstation fan.

Not the greatest classic console. Does not come with an ac adapter. Games start to lag after a while. I bought this on clearance, so it was a good deal. Don't buy full price.

The original PlayStation was one of my first video games back in the days. Now having a chance to show it to my kids is priceless. I got it at a sales price and it is worth it. Also is very easy to add more games. Relive the old days...

The console is built well. The quality is exactly what you would expect from Sony, however the one pain point of the hardware is the lack of the Analog controllers. You have to use the D-Pad to control the direction, which is often times extremely difficult to do. Play Grand Theft Auto to prove my point. Even SONY came out with Analog joy sticks to improve the quality of gameplay back when this console originally came out. If they had that one element, this would be a 4 out of 5 star rating.

I originally preordered the PS Classic, but cancelled it based on the the variety and quantity of different negative reviews. It had a few games I was interested in playing again, but wasn’t willing to drop a $100 on a classic system. I picked it up after the price drop and while there are only a few games I really play it is worth the money if primarily for the nostalgia factor. Take note that there are still frame rate issues and many of the games have not aged well. Also, the controller cord is too short! What is it with these classic systems?

The selection of games are very few and they are not the best titles the Emulator on the consul is very bare-bones they did not put a lot of extra features in the game like being able to stretch the screen to fit modern televisions amongst others it does not feel like Sony put their best foot forward with this consol not to mention some of the games are PAL versions which means the games play at a much lower frame rate then on the original consol I would not recommend this retro gaming device

You think the snes classic was good, heck you think the nes classic was good. Heck no, nothing compare to the playstation classic. With autobleem, A easy way to have a 500 plus ps1 classic titles plus snes, NES, gba, gb, gbc, Sega genesis, neo geo, plus all arcades. Wow, I can go on and on. But, for $20.00, who wouldn't to buy it. It's like its for free. It plays way better than the pi3b+. About the same like the odroid xu4. The best classic ever. Plus on a 2.0 256gb usb. Even better. The usb cost more than the playstation classic.

I got this system for $20. You can play retro games on this and add more ps1 game with a flash drive with Autobleem and Retro Arch.

I was on the fence, I have digital copies of many Playstation Classic games on a PS Network account which only works on a PS3.. I purchased a PS3 for the sole purpose of playing these games, but, was left desiring more. I returned this system for that system then returned that to re-obtain this. Owning some copies of games that are not present on this system I was pleased to find a way to play backup copies of my already owned games within this device. This little system is great. A+ Sony!

Great platform and love the portability of it just wished it had more games. Still a great system.

Nice product with the nostalgic feel. Controllers have good weight. Comes with two controllers and hdmi which is surprising. You would need your own usb wall adapter as it only comes with usb power cord. I end up modifying a 64gb usb stick with PSX/Dreamcast/GBA within Bleem. This can be made into emulator easy!!!!

All my favorite games on a very small console that takes up very little space. It's so fun to go back to the original and play the games that began the 25 year affair I have been in with PlayStation.. I love all PlayStation products but the classic is my favorite.

It bought this for Metal Gear Solid and that is there only reason to justify purchasing this system. That, and the fact that I bought it for only $19.99. This is a poor outgoing by Sony, for something that clearly should've been a slam dunk. The interface is trash and software is garbage. Again, if you look at the fact that I basically bought Metal Gear Solid for $20 and got a chibi Playstation for free, then it's not too bad. Only buy this thing on sale though.
