    I recently purchased this item on sale for $20. The games included are pretty good but missing some of the most iconic PlayStation titles like Crash Bandicoot. Wouldn’t recommend buying this for more than $20 though.

    Very well made and lots of fun. I remember playing the games and my children love them as well. Not all of the 20 games aged very well but for $20 you can not beat it.

    While a few games don't run as well as they should this is a great trip down memory lane. Just be sure to get it on sale. MSRP of $100 is insane, especially with the performance problems that a few games have.

    Unless you're going to hack it, don't waste your time. It's a great emulation machine but unless you want to take the time to hack it to play whatever you want, it isn't really worth it. It's a little sad that using hacks you can get better performance than the out of the box performance. Also, some of the games are the European versions and don't run at 60fps.

    For long time PlayStation gamers, this might leave you little disappointed, for it has only 20 games, but it's good for newcomers like me who never had the opportunity to own the console back in the time.

    While people have put bad reviews for this PlayStation Classic. I was able to get this on sale and I feel it was absolutely worth it at the price point. It’s super easy to set up. The quality of built is totally cool to look at because it really looks and feels like the original PlayStation. A lot of attention to detail. The games are okay, not the best, but satisfying on average for a small play. Some games work with the original controller, some really need the DualShock controller. I wouldn’t pay $99.99 for this. If you can get this on sale for very cheap, definitely recommend.

    The unit comes with 2 controllers, a HDMI cable but no power supply. You have to furnish your own usb power supply such as one that would charge your cell phone. Bought it for nostalgia sakes but the low res graphics had me turned off after a few minutes. There are instructions online to add additional games in addition to the 20 that comes preloaded, but I'd pass unless you want another electronic paper weight cluttering your space.

    Console brings back plenty of nostalgia but lacks a large enough library. Good deal for the price though.

    This product is a nice throwback for fans of the original PS One, but at its original $100 price tag wasn’t worth it. Now that it’s come down quite a bit, I’d recommend buying it if you’re interested.

    This was a huge missed opportunity for Sony. I understand that licensing old classics from the PSX era is more complicated and difficult than I could ever understand but it would have worth it to take better care with curating the games on this console and the internal features of the ROM software. If you're buying this now, make sure it's no more than 19.99 and you look up AutoBleem. You will thank me later

    A total walk down memory lane. A must for a fan of ps1 retro gaming. The controllers look and feel like how I remember them. The game selection could have been better but overall, a blast to play.

    I waited till it went down in price and happy with my purchase. Wish the cords were longer for the controllers and you could add more games but it was still fun playing old games that finally fit my TV.

    Console looks good the controllers are nice. Games could have been better but now the ps mini is able too add more titles. That made the console worth the $60 bucks. Sony should have given us a power adapter.

    Of the many preloaded games I play 4. That’s ok though. Kind of relive the 1990s excitement. That the power adapter isn’t included is inexplicable. Then again who doesn’t have a box full of wall warts?

    $100 price tag, in my opinion, is pretty steep for the game selection. However we enjoy GTA and Metal Gear Solid a lot. It gives you and others the chance to play a few games you may not have or have ever played.

    This is a nicely built little mini console that attempts to emulate the greatness of the NES and SNES Classic. Unfortunately, they put seemingly zero effort into including great games representative of the Playstation 1 era. Also, going with the PAL versions of the games instead of the superior NTSC versions should not be ignored. However, waiting for the deep discount paid off and it is worth getting for a cheap price.
