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.

    A nice piece for the special price of $20 but I would not pay higher prices for it since it has limited amount of playstation games and are missing some of the classics you would think would be on it

    I did actually enjoy this Mini system more than expected. Sure it could use a larger library but if you look for third party products online you will find that it is very easy to expand it.

    This is just like owning a small preloaded version from the early 90s. Don't get it expecting it to be anything more then it was. It's more for nostalgic purposes. I got this on sale for $25.

    Good Value at Reduced Price. Average sound, decent video. Some emulation issues. If you want to play some classic 32 bit games and can live with the above, at the $30-$40 price range, great value.

    I had to get this if only for memories sake when I started working g in a video store when these first came out. The one regret is that graphically there not updates but I think that’s the point to have fun with the old system and have some laughs. Easy to set up. But the one thing I hadn’t count on was getting used to the old controller again. Lol

    I love that it has classics like Resident Evil and Twisted Metal. Theirs some games that I believe are not PS classics that's why I gave 4 stars. The cable on the controllers have a decent length as well.

    If you find this on sale it has enough games to keep you busy for a while. Compact system, but make sure you have a micro USB adapter that’s at least 1amp because it’s not included

    It is probably worth it at $30, but I dont know why they ever thought this would be worth the $99 price it started out at. The games seem to have aged worse than the SNES Classic games have. Plus the game selection is fairly weak in comparison to the SNES Classic lineup. If I had paid more for it, the rating would have been lower.

    Only real downside is the lack of games on the console. But it is fun and looks super cool

    Love it. Great games and brings me back to my younger days playing with friends in Amy apartment. Would love it if they put more games on it though.

    PlayStation 1 was my first console. This is a cool throwback. For full price, it is probably not worth it but on sale, it is pretty decent for a good selection of games and two controllers.

    Originally released at $100 which was way overpriced, at $40 it's not a bad deal and you can overcome the terrible job by Sony on the emulation by getting into the hidden settings and adjusting

    As a kid I played with the demo that came with the ps1 more than any single game. as an adult now I can play most of those games again. I mainly purchased this system to play intelligent Qube.

    WE all know why we are getting this of course. so if you haven't already go pick this up! lots of mods can be done so you don't get stuck with the preinstalled games.

    Don’t let people deter you on this. If you can pay $40 or under it’s worth it. The game selection is lacking but there’s a few high quality games that make it worth it IMO

    I had purchased this as a Christmas gift for my son. He enjoyed it for a little while, but because the game selection is just OK, the replay value is limited. They could’ve done a better job and presentation and maybe with some of the renderings of the graphics. The whole system, although satisfactory, seems like Sony did a little bit of a rush job in development.
