    Sony dropped the ball on this big time. This had so much potential, but I'll just keep it on the shelf

    Bought this to have in the collection more than anything. The selection of games is mediocre and half of them run slow because they are PAL region versions. Sony really dropped the ball on this. I would be ticked if I were one of the people that played full price when this laucnhed.

    A great way to bring on childhood classics. This system has an easy menu system and gives you the ability to update your playing skills.

    The Playstation was my first console and its always been a special console to me. And the classic is a perfect little slice of everything that made the PS1 so fantastic.

    This is the bottom of the barrel for retro gaming consoles. I thought it was going to be great, but I was so disappointed. The selection of games on this one is bogus, it is missing so much of what made the PS One amazing. Also the UI is very clunky, and the controllers leave a ton to be desired.
