    To really enjoy this product fully and completely you will have to jailbreak. I mean it only has 1 or three triple A titles. If you play with it for about an hour you will get bored and you going to find a way to make it better anyway so why not. Wait for the perfect price for you and then snag one no rush!

    I picked this up for $20 on sale and that’s the perfect price for it. It works fine and it’s neat to go back and play some of the first games I ever played from my youth.

    Sony definitely dropped the ball on this one. The only reason I brought it was due do I had a gift card to use. And also if you hack it then ylu can add the games you want to it

    It plays how I'd expect it to, and the controllers can be used for PC via USB, but that's about it for the positives. No DualShock controllers or compatibility, the games they chose absolutely perplex me, and the price point is WAY off. I think this is showing with all of them dropping seemingly permanently to $60.

    A great nostalgia gift for any PlayStation fan. The game library could have been better but overall the form factor is perfect and looks great on my collectibles shelf.

    I pre-ordered this...it has only a few great games. I really bought it for FF7 but was hoping like the NES and SNES mini's there would be a bunch of games that I really liked. There were some that I haven't ever heard of. The really tough part for me is seeing them selling for $40 now in places and I paid $100...if you buy it for 40 it is fine, but for $100 I regret the purchase.

    I would never have paid $100 for this and wouldn't have considered it for $60, but for $20, you can't go wrong. It's emulation is okay, but modded, it's a fun machine.

    I was lucky enough to snag the classic when it was on sale at $19.99. Like I mentioned before. Once you hack the classic it becomes a way better bargain for the money.

    Overall it is good value for the current price. The original price it was launched at was not worth it, but for some of the games including IQ and Persona 1 I’d recommend it.

    Base Roster is very lacking

    Unless you plan to make adjustments via a mod, this is honestly not worth the money. The base roster, while having a few hits-lacks so many more. And the versions on these are somehow the worse versions with slower framerates. At the very least, mod it to unlock a proper frame rate.

    I bought this to try and relive my younger days of playing and it is a little bit of a remembrance of what life used to be like. I wish it had more of the games available.

    Wow, Playstation had a chance to do something right and amazing. And simply let greed blind the company. So many games , so many great memories and the drop they ball. I currently have it as a display and will not open it and use until the hacks come around and make this "classic" console what it should have been put if the box. Kudos to Nintendo for the true retro classic mini.

    This console is pretty great, if you like the games it includes that is. Unfortunately, not all the games on this PS Classic are really worthy of being on here. There are many classics I can name that deserved to be on the list, but oh well. For what it is, it's definitely fun to play. I got mine on sale for 40 dollars; i wouldn't pay any more than that honestly.

    It's not the best of the classic consoles, but this thing works as advertised. Great for some nostalgia and wonderful for collectors, but I recommend waiting for a sale.

    This is small, simple, inexpensive game system with a few fun games pre-I stalled. It is a little slow to load each game but we have enjoyed playing a few games. This is good for someone who doesn’t want complicate controls and doesn’t care about graphics. We only play 2 of the 10 games and after a few weeks we were tired of it. I’m sure we will use it again after a break.
