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 suppose it was worth the $25 (originally $100 when released). Four games worth your time... It does what is supposed to.

    This is a great system to add to any gamers library if you purchase when it's on sale. It doesn't come with many games built in, which is why I recommend buying it when it's on sale.

    Good for nostalgia and collecting reasons but doesn’t have enough classics for me to keep playing. Also the cords are very short.

    This should had come with more games and had wireless controllers. Outside of nostalgia, this was kind of weak.

    We waited till it dropped around $25 it's not perfect but if you want it to bring back memories it will do the job. We have all the classics so we need to add this to the collection.

    Back to 90s. I love my new Sony PS Classic. It has 20 preloaded games (Battle Arena, Tekken 3, Ridge Racer etc.). Old style controllers are cool.

    If you dont care for the games it comes with, you can easily mod the system and put as many games as you'd like. Several walkthroughs on YouTube.

    The Console looks great and very nostalgic and very small but the games that are included in the console are very underwhelming.

    I was able to buy this on sale for a decent price. I would say if you have never played Final Fantasy 7 or Metal Gear Solid and have no other way of playing them, this is a good way to play them. But overall the PSone Classic has a bad reputation for a good reason; The games included, for the most part, are not only low quality but not what most people would consider "classic" games. No Crash Badicoot, no Spyro, etc. Overall not terrible, but not good either. Not worth it at full price

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool slice of nostalgia... but I wish there was more. Like twisted metal 2 and Demolition derby 2..

    As it comes, You WILL be disappointed. Modify it and it will be the best system ever. I will only buy it for less than 40 bucks. I got this for 20 so I think it was an awesome deal.

    Great gift for you or another with 20 classic games imbedded, however no analog sticks on the controller make it a little difficult for some games.

    Everyone is familiar with the issues surrounding this plug and play device, but looking beyond that it's a solid piece of tech and well worth the discounted price I bought it for. Definitely recommend if you can find a deal on it.

    This bought a lot of good memories. I remember most of the games. Tekken was my favorite game. Its small enough not to take up to much space.

    The PS Classic had a rough launch but now with all of the price drops it is definitely worth the cost of entry for this little retro gaming system. Here's hoping for a PS2 Classic.

    I picked it up for 20 bucks and for that price with all the stuff available on line to make it better it was a super good purchase. All the upgrades and be done with a usb drive.

    This classic console needed more games that made Playstation worth playing back in the 90s. For example Crash Bandicoot. Spyro the Dragon, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, and Gran Turismo just to name a few. Also would have liked the dualshock controller instead of the original controller. Another complaint is the dashboard. The original Playstation deserves more love than this. :(
