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.

    The nostalgia you get is undeniable, but the 20 games are a let down. I personally think it's not worth the cost. $59.99 would have been a better price.

    I got mine on sale for twenty dollars. For that price, it’s worth it. I grew up with all the OG systems and still have them, but this mini version is easier to use on my desk. Definitely don’t expect a great library, everyone knows that, but for the price it’s fun.

    This could have been so much better. The emulation on this system was poor. The main complaint are the frame rates. as far as the hardware everything looked and felt like the original

    Slightly disappointed as I loved the original Playstation. No power cord but like the compact console as i have it under my bar for play. Games available are ok.

    Not good unless you install retroarch

    It’s terrible for the included games, but if you replace the firmware and load in retroarch, you can emulate almost all 8 and 16 bit systems. Plus PSP and obviously PlayStation. So it becomes awesome after you do that, but you must be very technically inclined to know how to do all that.

    I'm a sucker for these "mini" consoles, but man, Sony could've done a far better job on this. There's some great classics in the library, but too few to make up for the more mediocre/less memorable ones. It sticks to authenticity with the original PS1 controllers, but the analog sticks are necessary by modern standards. I can't imagine playing any PS1 game without them. It's ultimately just become a shelf nick-knack that looks cool alongside my other mini consoles, but I don't see myself loading this one up anytime soon...

    There's no surprises or mysteries here, it plugs in and you have access to some of the best games ever made. How much would you spend for a functioning copy of final fantasy 7? Or metal gear solid? I don't think I've made a better 20 dollar purchase in my life.

    Love the quality, the controllers are great and the HD input really helps out. Bad catalog of games, but can be modify to be your personal collection all in one. 20 dollars worth it.

    Best Buy has a great price for it when I got it. For the price I paid it was definitely not a bad deal to be able to play the old games I no longer have. It works as intended just a decent way to get back some childhood memories

    I enjoy all these retro console releases but this is probably the worst one - built quality is only so-so and the graphics have not stood up to the test of time very well. However, its still a must buy if you can get it at its more recent $25-30 price tag.
