    This console will take you back to a time when gaming was so simple. System is very compact and all the games are good!

    It honestly could have been a lot better of a console if Sony put effort time and effort into it.

    Was a great idea but poor execution. The preloaded lineup of games was not much to be excited about.

    Really gives a nostalgic feeling. Could have used a few better games and a few were not needed. But still cool.

    For the first, time, i finally own, the, very first PlayStation grey box. Not thee original, but, it's very close enough. This honestly is, worth it. The games are just as they where, from the 90's. When i came home to play it, the first game i played was, Tekken 3. I used to play this game every time, i went to the mall, with my pockets full of quaters, & it was amazing, when i was playing Tekken 3, i didn't have to keep pooring quaters into the game, for when i lost. I know right! All you have to do is press start, & boom won th match. Anyway, great classic game's great come back.

    Classic games that started the craze & more! Brings back a lot of memories! More classic games would have been better, but I'm pretty happy with it.

    These retro classic consoles are great! However, this one is not. It has a terrible selection of games. Period. Many of these games are the 'Roms' from other DVD encoded regions, like the european PAL format. So some of these games run at a lower refresh rate than American TVs.... This console is awful, and it should only be sold for about $30-40.

    This console can definitely bring back the nostalgia, but it isn't worth the nostalgia for anything more than $25. Some cool game choices on here, though more should have definitely been added.

    For $59.99 it’s a smoking deal. Playing the pre-loaded games brought back memories when I was a little boy, when I used to play with the neighborhood kids.

    Not worth the money in my opinion, so I returned it. Poor selection of games was a deal-breaker.

    On it's own the PS Classic fumbles the important stuff - PAL region games that play at slower frame rates, a head scratching assortment of "classic" games with more than a few notable omissions, and no dual shock controller support. However, with some creative digging it seems that many of these issues can be addressed if you know ho to use google. Which, I'm guessing you probably do.

    I love it! I haven't had this much fun in a long time, the game selection is a bit short, but no worries as you'll have lots of fun playing these classics.

    Amazing set of games preloaded and an amazing party favor at parties. Love how small it is. Unbelievably small. The thing fits in your pocket. I love it.

    Great quality, I like that the controllers are usb, not some proprietary connection. Many of the fun classics are on it. Great way to spend time
