    The system is simple and doesn't have good game selection. Good if you just like collecting game system.

    So the included games are only "ok". The hardware is very capable and the controllers are great. Got mine for $25 so it was a no-brainer. Super easy to mod.

    Seriously. Awful. The selection of games is beyond weak, the emulation is questionable, and the idea that Sony thought they could sucker fans into paying $100 for this is just offensive. Even at the $20 I paid, it was overpriced. The PSOne deserved so much better than this thing.

    Great console, has tons of potential and has a fairly decent list of games installed on it. Also is extremely light and easy to place on a tv stand.

    Got this on sale for 20--definitely worth it for that price, but I wouldn't pay 50 for it. Sony took some shortcuts to release it, google for more info.

    When this was first announced, I was extremely excited. A list of PS1 classic, combined with the esthetic of the PS1 mini and authentic controllers? What could go wrong? Well... the user interface and list of games are lack-luster and extremely disappointing. Especially for the price point at the time.

    Great little console. Works off micro-usb power supply. Games are good, but I wish it had gran turismo, tomb raider and crash bandicoot. Controls are kind of short, but the nostalgia factor makes up for it

    I don’t why there are so much negativity on this console. As a long Time PlayStation fan I had to try it for my self. I did a 180 on my view. It’s a great little device. Very portable for vacation trips. Unless you’re a professional gamer, as I’m a casual gamer, I hardly notice any of the negatives mentioned by the other gamers. Love the size of the controllers but wish the cords were a bit longer. One game made this purchase worth it for me; Metal Gear! All else is added bonus to me. Anyway, with the option to mod, I think it’s well worth it to me.

    Got this on preorder the day it became available. Terrible decision on my part. The list of games was awful and i have spent more time waiting for someone to make an easy hack for this so i can play crash, final fantasy vii and tony hawk. Mine is still new in the box and i hate myself for spending the $100 on it when it is now discounted for $60.

    The PS classic is really bad when it was $100, but at a 75% its a good buy, and if you know how to hack it, wow its a steal of a deal.

    This had so much potential for greatness, I was so excited about it I pre-ordered before the complete game list was announced. Sadly, the games they chose were just "ok", and they left out a lot of great titles that should of been there (Grand Turismo, Tony Hawk pro skater 2, just to name a few). Good news though, the hacker community came through, and you can now add games with a USB drive, so it has turned out to be a good purchase.
