    $100 for only a handful a games I actually play? Some of the games are alright, the others I’ve never heard of. There’s no one out there dying to play Rainbow six I assure you. It’s just a Nostalgic rip off.

    right now it is on sale for 59.99. Sony dropped the ball on this one. game selections could have been better. They tried to jump on the Nostalgia bandwagon like NES and SNES reissues but they didn't deliver.

    Brings back good memories, but It doesn’t come with a charging transformer for the USB power cord (can be bought separately). Luckily I had a USB outlet on my surge protector. Lessons not learned from NES classic release about short cables for the controllers.

    Honestly this had great potential but the lack of DualShock controllers and game selection leaves a lot to be desired, glad I wasn’t one of those who made the mistake to pay full retail on it.

    This is done in very poor quality compared to Nintendo's classic mini systems. I would not recommenced anyone wasting $100 on this. Wait for it to go on sale or use something else. The only way I would justify this as a purchase is if you are into the homebrew scene. Thats all Im going to say about that. As it stands, its close to being a nice expensive plastic mini PS1 toy coaster. It runs PAL versions of several games which perform poorly and it has a really bad choice for the library of games installed. On top of all that, it doesnt even run 1st party emulation by Sony themselves!!

    I was so excited to own this piece of nostalgia and couldn't wait for it to release...all I can say is what a letdown. The system seemed to lag and it the video was not high quality. 2 thumbs down!!!

    If you can re-image this PS classic console go for it! You'll be better off installing more games than what comes with the system as is. Not worth your money, unless you really want the shell.
