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.

    Bought this for my son. Obviously it can't be compared to a system like PS4 but it's enjoyable for the money.

    I payed about 25 bucks for this little gem, well maybe not a gem, but a bit of nostalgia nonetheless. The games preloaded are fun to play and reminisce (some of them), but the beauty of the console comes with being able to add your own games with just a slight bit of tweaking.

    Very happy with purchase. Only down side is the game selection but with a little research games can be added.

    This is a cute little mini system of the PS1, but the games that added on here... some aren’t that great, lol.

    Physically, it is well put together, but some of the emulation on the games leaves a lot to be desired. The game selection is decent, but could be better. But all in all, if you're a fan of the original playstation, this is a nice little piece of nostalgia if you can get it discounted.

    It’s a good console. Honestly is more of the nostalgia than anything didn’t have some of the games I was hoping for.

    Some of the complaints are very vaild, the pal region games do run noticeably slower than the original NTSC releases, and the controllers feel slightly cheaper than the original. The game selection is in my opinion absolutely reflective of the time I spent with the original PlayStation.

    The emulation on the PS1 classic is fairly mediocre. The lack of Dual Shock 1 controllers is mind blowing to me. Emulated versions of games run worse than their disc based counterparts at times. Nintendo and Sega did much better with their efforts of mini-consoles.

    Got this for $25, I think it is worth it for this price. Don’t think it will be worth original $100.

    This was a total rush job compared to the Nintendo versions. I only bought it because I'm a collector. It's super basic and the games could have been better. Missed opportunity.

    Good mini console - missing a few key games depending on your tastes in games may not be worth the full $100 price

    Unlike the NES and SNES Classic, it feels like you need to mod this to get some value out of it. Emulation is poor on some if the games that really need it and some of the other games here are questionable additions at best.
