    This product was not worth the price tag it originally had. Games play OK but Sony could have done a better job with this product. Sony needs to take a page from Nintendo if they want to retro their games.

    Very good made but poor quality be very careful what charger you plug in because it can easily destroy this system. I will be returning to get my money back!

    I don't recall the graphics looking anything like this on the original. Looks like a gameboy, I know it's HDMI on a 4k TV but I'd probably skip this unless you have a 13" color CRT from 1994.

    Graphics NOT HD. What the actual hell PS?!? I only bought this to play FF7. I haven’t played it more than once. Those graphics are just painful to look at on an HDTV.

    Nostalgia ugh. I hope PS5 has a real digital ps1,ps2;ps3,ps4 service. Controller feels good but games play terrible compared to original. Only recommend if curious or intend to hack.

    And to make it sting even more you won’t even be able to sell it to recoup any costs. It’s ‘neat’ for nostalgia but ended up feeling like 99$ was thrown on the ground.

    Most of the games are the European versions and play slower than they should . Definitely not worth 100 bucks . I would even say it’s a stretch for the 59.99 it’s on sale for now .

    Just read what others have to say and it’s not worth 100. Now they are offering 25 gifts card with purchase “really Sony”. This is still not worth 75.00 just wait til is 20 dollar.

    Purchased when it was on sale. Would not have paid regular price for it. Ended up returning this item. Not what I was expecting and far from the original.

    Got on discount. Turns out if i would have waited 6 months, I could have gotten this for $20 instead of $60. Poor design compared to NES and SNES classics. An epic fail!

    Video quality is somehow worse than the og playstation. For the price just go buy a used playstation and get the games you actually want to play

    if you are buying this for the the system itself then don't buy but if your looking to mod the system then that would be why you would buy this

    Bought this as a gift during the clearance and I still don’t think it was worth it. Maybe 60 minutes of fun, but that’s about it.

    Not worth the $100 price tag. It was lowered $59.

    Titles stink. Graphics are ok. Very disappointed in Sony. They could have hit a homerun here but they chose to bunt into a triple play. Thumbs down!

    The console itself looks cool but does not function anywhere close to what the NES Classic offers, which mimics the original console pretty well.
