    I absolutely loved the ps1. Just hearing the sound of that start up gives me chills. The games they preloaded could have been better but oh well.

    Awesome in concept, but the graphics are questionable and the games are weird.

    Bought knowing it was going to be a nice looking paperweight. Wanted it to go with my NES, SNES, and my Genesis when it comes in. Serving it's purpose and when I feel like it, I can play.

    Needs Power Supply in order to use it.

    3 stars because they fail to give you a power supply in order to turn the system on. Otherwise it would have been 5 stars. Not sure what they were thinking when they thought of not adding a power supply to this PlayStation. How are you supposed to turn it on without a power supply? I had to use the power supply from my Nintendo classic edition in order to use this PlayStation. Games are good. Reminds me of my childhood.

    This little system brings me back years with all the games I grew up loving. So great seeing them on my big 4K display instead of my tiny tube tv.

    The console was over priced at the launch, however with $20 price point for a console, 2 controllers and 20 games - this is an absolute steal.

    First off all it doesn’t come with a a/c adapter so that kind of sucks but I got it more just to have it with my collection so it’s good for me

    For the price you can’t be too mad what you get I would only recommend this to somebody who knows a little more on the Marin community because the base 20 games are mediocre too bad I don’t represent a generation that grew up with the original PlayStation so with that being said if you are into modeling I would purchase this but if you just wanna plug and play maybe look into other alternatives

    E3 pick up

    I actually bought this the week before E3. So when the price dropped for the E3 sale, Bestbuy matched the new price. ;) I didn't really buy this for the games already on it but for the mod that is also out there that supports more games. I use a PS3 controller with a Bluetooth adaptor, a multiusb adaptor (to use a flash drive with the other games and to use a controller ports to play with others). It is fun to show my kids how games looked when I was their age. Also fun to play Final Fantasy Tactics and Ogre Battle on the big screen. ;p

    This cool looking classic retro console is such a missed opportunity for Sony. I'd say they messed up pretty much everything with it except the outside look so i only recommend it if you want to display it and nothing else because even the emulation is not as smooth as running on a PC or other retro devices you can build yourself for less.
