Customers are saying

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.

    Very nice system. Selection of games could be better but not a bad purchase for $20.

    Overpriced, no AC adaptor, and a poor line up of games: 4-5 worth playing. Short cables--it's like they didn't pay attention with the Nintendo releases. Sony tried to jump on the bandwagon of tiny retro consoles, but didn't try to make this worth the cost.

    First and foremost this was a big disaster for the retro game fans. But the silver lining is, it was hacked and I got it for half price.

    I’m glad I waited a few months for the price drop to happen, but the interface and game selection made this product incomplete.

    The games it offers are not the best that PS one had to offer. It also has weird frame rate choses for what version of pal or ntsc versions of the game settings and they include. I guess that is why it is 60 dollars off less than a year since it's launch. I would only pick this up if you were really nostalgic.

    Paying any more than 20$ for this isn't worth it. Because you are going to pay at least another 20$ to mod it with more games.

    There’s good stuff on here, and the system is nicely portable, but there’s a lot of slowdown from the PAL version games on it.

    At 20 bucks it's worth it especially since it's very easy to hack and add games. Otherwise it's not worth it.

    It was only 20 and I had a 15 dollar certificate so not bad for five dollars. Need more games on it I gave it away.

    A great product if you get it at the right price, a little limited on games, but with a few Jail breaks out now it’s worth it.

    Got this on sale for a great price! Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have gotten it. The games aren't very impressive but I wanted my kids to see what I grew up with. We only played for a little bit. The controller cords are very short and there is no power adapter, so I gave it 3 stars only.

    The stock games are not as bad as people make it out to be. Is it missing some great classic titles? Absolutely. Does it have great titles to keep you happy? Absolutely. Are there ways to make this better to add games you wish were included? Absolutely. It's not hard to improve on what Sony has provided, it just takes a small investment in time to do it. For the price it is at now, why not give it a shot?

    As with most emulators there are a few games that glitch occasionally but for only $20.00 for 20 games it can't be beat.

    Good Enough But Lacking Titles

    Metal Gear Solid for PSX is one of my all-time favorites, so it was great to see it included in this console. Most other games I couldn't care less about, and 20 is not nearly enough. I would ONLY buy this console if you intend to make it a retro arcade with other systems and more PSX games.

    Device is okay out of the box, but with further research you can easily modify the console to run the games better and all kinds of other tweaks such as editing your games library, adding a USB Wi-FI dongle and enabling Retroarch and many other things. Is an excellent emulation device one this is done.
