    The Playstation classis has great detail to my original Playstation 1 just so much smaller and with HDMi to plug it into your TV. The down side is the game selection I wish there was more chooses or built in wifi so you could download the PS1 games you might have bought on your PS3. It was still a good buy for the price.

    By itself it's really disappointing. It's got very few must-have games. Hardware-wise it's quite good! However, it's really easy to add more games. Just do a Google search. That should bump up one more star. Once you've added your own games, the console is on a whole other level. Highly recommended to tinker with it.

    Missing a lot of great games! Sony could have picked a better list of gaming options for this device. Had a lot of hope when the first set of game titles were released, anticipating the rest of the list that was eventually released. I am not crazy about the system but it is a nice little retro classic to have around in my gaming room.

    Purchased because of Resident Evil and Destruction Derby. Cant really complain with the $20 price tag. Definitely not worth the full msrp.

    Worth collecting for it's looks, worth buying if it's cheap, but not great at playing the games on it. Performance isn't great, many games are pal region for some reason and that also affect performance. If you want to play the games you should look for alternative ways to play them that work better.

    For $20, it’s absolutely a great deal, especially for a nostalgic reason as my Favorite Console of All Time (the original release)! Pick 1 up while it lasts, starting to be “Out of Stock” everywhere within the last 2 weeks with this low-low price! Even better once you hacked it, either yourself or buy a cheap “ready-to-use” hack (I think from China) for $15-$20! FYI, SNES Classic adapter works perfectly with this product.

    I actually bought this on sale for just $20. A lot of people are not happy with the games on this device but one game is worth $20.

    It's pretty dope for what it is. Some of the games don't hold up like I remember. But after all the price drops it's worth 20 bucks.

    Looks like the original PlayStation. 19.99 is great value for your bucks. Not all games are U.S. region. Pal version is not great.

    got this at a low price. wouldn't get it at reg price but if you find it on sale go for it. the games on it are ok but would only suggest it if you want to have a nostalgic feeling. if you haven't played the ps1 before and don't have a nostalgia toward the ps1 than by all means dont buy this.

    I was able to buy this at one fifth of its original asking price and I think it is worth it for a little bit of fun at that price. Games are meh though and the fact that they didn't include a power supply is crazy. I like showing my kids what games were like back in the day and this is good for that.
