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.

    I love reliving the old days playing these games with my friends. Great selection of games and nice small/compact system. Wish there were a few other gems like Kileak DNA Imperative and some other Resident Evil Games.

    Playstation Classic is a well built system and has great controllers. It does not feel cheap like you would with knockoff clones out there. You get the 20 included games but you can add more. Emulation is great on here.

    This is a great platform if you download some third party software to a USB. With that extra software you can use a PS4 controller, play various different consoles, etc. Google Retrobleem. Buy this at the sale price

    Pretty subpar game collection stock, but can be easily molded. Good buy at the right price, I wouldn't pay more than $25-30. Good nostalgia trip.

    If you are interested in at least 4 of the included games, this is worth it when it is on sale for a steep discount. I haven’t had it long enough to determine the longevity of the included controllers, but it should be relatively inexpensive to pick up a backup or two.

    This is a cash grab that could have been a million times better...but Sony just knew people would buy it anyway. And it shows. 20 games...except half of them are the pal versions which run at 50 hz instead of 60 so they feel extra sluggish. The 20 games aren't even that good. Yes FF7 is good. Tekken 3 could be good if it wasn't the pal version. Metal Gear Solid is good. Rayman is surprisingly good. Wild Arms is a hidden gem. That's pretty much it. Most of the other games haven't held up that well. The lineup isn't very good and this thing costs 100 dollars?! Compare it to the NES Classic and SNES Classic and it becomes even more apparent how awful it is.

    Was not worth getting this at it's initial price $100. Now that it has dropped to more reasonable prices $20-$25, it is fine for what it's worth. If it came with dual shock analog controllers or better PSX classic game titles that would have made the system even better.

    Got it for the collectibility

    I mean, we all know Sony dropped the ball on this. It had -so- much potential and they did the absolute bare minimum. It’s cool looking on a shelf though and I bought it once the price dropped for the collectibility factor. Had no issues hooking this up and playing though.

    Purchased for around $20. Highly worth it. Controllers are great quality. The system itself is excellent quality and very nostalgic. Recommend modding it to reach true potential

    Great idea, poor execution. -20 games,but only 5 must-owns, and a few bad games -Shoddy emulation, it runs in PAL instead of NTSC -No analogue sticks, just the classic controller design, making some games less enjoyable to play -No power adapter included, you have to buy it separately I would have loved for this system to be worth the price, but unfortunately it feels stale.

    I remember running home after school to play PlayStation after school way back when I was still in Elementary School! This is such a blast from the past even if you buy it as a novelty item for a display!

    I like the way it looks next to my Nintendo and SNES Classic but that's about it. Just has a few games I want to play. Wish they included more.

    The game selection is awful, and the price was way too high when it came out, but I bought it to display, but play on, and it works for that.

    This new gaming system is awesome. I have been a Playstation fan since the first PS came out, This has a great collection of classic games. The "system" is super light and the controllers are bigger than the system. I am sure the cords weigh more than the system.

    I'll be honest and say that I bought it for the nostalgic and the reduced price since Sony didn't do anything special on this classic console.
