    Awesome retro PS1 system. Wish it had some of the more known ps1 titles but it’s still a cool collectible. Highly recommend it.

    The PlayStation Classic is a little fun device. Unfortunately, it's limited to 20 games. It should have came with 50 and better games. But for nostalgic reasons, it's a fun device to have. It's a very tiny device. Just a heads up, you will NOT be provided with a power block. You'll only be provided with a micro USB cable. If you're like me, you'll have tons of those blocks available in a drawer.

    When it first got released, the price was way too high, but after it dropped to $40, I snatched it up. It's good good games, but still flaws. However, it did provide some great nostalgia

    Could have been so amazing. If you want to get for a collection that’s cool. Graphics are terrible. Really wanted to like this even with the crappy lagging Europe versions. No ac adapter. Not something you would normaly get from Sony. Returned to Best Buy with great customer service. Will buy if they somehow went down to 40 bucks. Maybe

    This review is based off my $40 price match. For that price, it’s great. For $100? Not at all. If you can get this for $60 or cheaper, it’s not a bad buy. Works well and has some good games.

    A fun little product. Expect a little retro! Inexpensive and easy to transport. I used it to play some old games.

    At the pricepoint I got it, I think it's a great value. I wish the games that came with it were a little different, but overall I dig it.

    At $20 the PS Classic is a no-brainer!

    When originally released, the PlayStation classic was a way underrated by its critics. However, with new modification capabilities available through online sources, the PlayStation Classic now offers unlimited retro game opportunities. (See ModMyClassic . com). Even without modification, the 20 awesome preinstalled games break down to $1 per classic game on an easy to use platform you can take anywhere. And the 2 included controllers open many 2-player options. I can’t wait for their classic PS2! (Need those thumb sticks)

    I came in with great enthuasiam and the game selection had me filled with excitement for a few of them. The PAL rather than NTSC code on 9 of the titles makes me not like tekken 3 and a few others like I once remember due to frame rate slowing slightly and maybe due to a lack of attention to detail in the porting(?) contributed maybe to a more pixelated look though I found it still nostalgic and fun to play.

    I waited until these dropped in price to $20, you can’t beat that value with all the possibilities to mod and add even more retro roms.

    Lazy and disappointing.

    9 games are PAL versions and will never run at the proper frame rate. The machine is built well and does what it says it will. Some of the games are pricey on the retro market, so if you're looking to play some more expensive titles this is a great way, but be aware this is a lazy cash-in by Sony and is overall a disappointment.

    It’s not the best classic console that has came out recently but for 30 bucks it’s well worth it. Plus it comes with FF7, persona 1, and Metal Gear Solid so it’s definitely worth it.
