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.

    Underrated (if you pick it up at discounted price)

    Not sure why Sony didn't do a better job with this, it has a lot of potential. Picked it up at a great price and it can be "modified" if you look on YouTube. The fact that it comes with two controllers is a nice touch.

    Admittedly on release this console got a lot of flak for its content of games. But as time went on and the sales came and went this dropped down to an all time low of $20. For this price it was a near steal since $20 doesn’t buy you much these days but it’ll get you a full mini gaming console to relive the late 90s. Excellent price and I bought two.

    Console was great although the pre-loaded games lack some of the most popular games back then.

    Good for a little nostalgia and looks good sitting on the shelf with other mini classic consoles. But that’s about it. Game selection is limited, colors seem muted, and menu is atrocious. Worth the sale price in my opinion but definitely not full retail.

    PlayStation was great growing up. Games were great for the time, so was excited to try this. The selection of games was.ok, but I don't like they didn't use the US versions for all the games. The user interface was ok, nothing special. End product seems rushed.

    I am thankful I didn't buy this for $100 its dropped all the way down to $20 now back up to $60 as of the time of this review. For the stock 20 games can't say its worth it but if it drops back down or if you are picking up to mod or add your own games can't go wrong. There are some easy ways to play more than the stock games just google it.
