Customers are saying

Customers love the PlayStation Classic Console's affordable price and the inclusion of two controllers, finding it easy to use and a nostalgic trip down memory lane. However, many are disappointed with the limited game selection and some have noted issues with the emulation quality. The compact size is also a frequently praised feature.

    Has a good variety of classic PlayStation games but may not be worth the full price tag.

    Nothing great, but a fun novelty. I got mine for $20, so that made it even better.

    this is a classic console. I bought it for my childhood memories. One more thing, I can use it to make more applications with my Raspberry Pi.

    Compared to playing them on my real psOne, I feel like I'm playing games in molasses. The controls are way off, the games are sluggish, and the graphics are not good translations. It's a very bad emulation of an amazing console.

    This thing is terrible. The game selection sucks and many of the games are terribly emulated. Why aren't the controllers dual shock??? I would give it zero stars if that was an option. This should never have been made. Sony needs to leave the classic mini consoles to Nintendo.

    You pay $100 plus you have to buy the power block to actually power this product. Sham on playstion for this. You pay for the nostalgic effect.. and it really isn’t that good . There isn’t many of the “classic” games on this system.I really wish I could return this product ..

    I have the original PlayStation from back in the day but it’s almost impossible to play on a modern tv. This fixes that and honest seems smoother.
