    One of the very first consoles I've owned back in the day and it brings back great memories playing the games installed on it. My only issue is I wish the game library was expandable and you could add more to the console nonetheless I am enjoying it and got it for a steal sale price worth it.

    If you like video games/systems and want another mini version you may like this tiny system. Since the price went down it is not a bad purchase. It won't amaze you but it is quite cute and somewhat enjoyable.

    Not the best choice for a retro gaming system

    Poor choice of retro games, Not very many total games. Not near as good a choice for a retro system as the NES classic or Super NES classic from Nintendo. Price has already dropped from 99 dollars to 59 dollars.

    A definite buy at this price point. There's a lot that can be done with it. My only real complaints are that it doesn't come with an AC adapter, and I wish the controllers were dual-shock, as many of the best games for the PlayStation required it, like Ape Escape or Megaman Legends.

    Emulation quality is poor. Only one save slot per system. No AC Adapter. Mediocre game list. Overpriced system. Seriously this isn’t worth it and an obvious cash grab from Sony capitalizing on Nintendo’s Classic success. There’s zero flair to this product and was obviously rushed.

    The game library on this all-in-one is quite fun, with a lot of nostalgic Playstation titles. The big issue is that some of the included games are of the European PAL version instead of the US NTSC version, thus the framerate is a bit choppy. Outside of that issue, with a bit of hacking and tweaking, this is a good console for retro gaming.

    After reading so many negative reviews I didn't expect much. But BB had a great sale so I gave it a shot, and glad I did. Haven't tried all the games, but what I have played (MGS & C:SOTN) each played perfect. Yes, there could have been some 'better' games, but no matter what games were on it someone wouldn't be happy. Give it a shot. Recommend.

    While this was something I was very excited about, for the initial purchase price everything about this just fell short, from the quality of the packaging to the quality of the device itself as well as the content. The menu was very basic and most importantly the game selections were completely lacking a majority of the great hits that made you want this to begin with. Took this one back pretty quick, I gave it a fair rating only because it does function fine and the price has been reduced so it might be worth it for some.

    Games are definitely retro. Only got it for the Tekken. Nothing to make you want to gotta have it or break out when friends come over. Nice addition to a man cave to break out when going down memory lane.

    This gaming system is very cool. It is about the size of my hand. The price is right, it works great, and it has a built in memory card. Brings back memories from growing up playing the same games on the PlayStation. I would highly recommend! Very portable and great for trips.
