    I held out and managed to get this for $15 w a $5 reward certificate. Definitely worth the price. Controllers alone are worth $10 a pop each. Glad I picked it up

    Build quality is nice. Game selection is not great. For the price I paid ($20) it’s worth picking it up.

    If you can this console at 30s, great buy. If it is more than that, you are not going to enjoy it.

    This was originally what $99 when it came out and then it was marked to $50 then marked half of that. Great deal. And used BB points so paid almost nothing for it!

    A must for any collector, old school console. The games are built-in and you order wireless controllers too. The price is right buy one.

    Picked this up for $30, 6 months after it was released for $100. If you know what you’re doing you make this little guy truly awesome. Worth the $30 in my opinion.

    Got this on sale for $20, well worth the money. The games preloaded are fan favorites and I really enjoyed that it is two player. System itself is really small!

    This is okay if you just really want to play one or a few of the old games on it, and don't have a modern Sony console. If you're not a frame rate snob, you probably won't notice any issues. I didn't. That being said, if there's only one or two games you want, and you have a PS3, PS4, PSP or PS Vita, odds are you can buy the game(s) you want on one of those for cheaper than this console. I recommend that.

    this is a fun console - playing bad graphics games have a bit of nostalgia to them, and playing metal gear solid does for sure. however, ensure that if you buy this, you do so at a discount. not worth 100 bucks
