Customers are saying

Customers love the PlayStation Classic Console's affordable price and the inclusion of two controllers, finding it easy to use and a nostalgic trip down memory lane. However, many are disappointed with the limited game selection and some have noted issues with the emulation quality. The compact size is also a frequently praised feature.

    Couldn't be happier. This is an awesome console, I love that Sony decided to release this again. I have been playing all of my old favorites. Granted, I've been losing a lot since current gameplay standards have taken me out of practice, but it's still fun getting back into the mix. Would recommend for any gamer.

    Its an okay item, unfortunately its the PAL version of the games so they run a little slow. Metal gear solid and Final Fantasy VII are the standouts. But do yourself a favor and do some online research to truly get the most out of the system.

    Poor Execution and Missed Opportunity

    Don't pay more than $20..and I paid 19.99 but debating on getting rid of it. I'm really disappointed in this thing. I don't think there's anything wrong with the selection of games, it's okay. Unfortunately, about half of the games are running European versions of the games instead of US versions, which means they play slower and have really bad frame rate issues not present in the US versions of the game. And honestly even the US games included have really serious frame rate issues, and look choppy and blurry; FF7's got really bad pauses and stutters right at the start. And there's button delay too, where you press a button and when you see it on the screen is just... bad. This thing is essentially a Playstation emulator in a box, but instead of being really good and comparable to actually playing the games, it's a lot worse. You should probably just buy a Playstation 3 for this much money and play Playstation games like that; for the most part, it'd be much much better. And would also be a Playstation 3. Games included: Battle Arena Toshinden (PAL Version), Cool Boarders 2 (PAL Version), Destruction Derby (PAL Version), Final Fantasy VII, Grand Theft Auto (PAL Version), Intelligent Qube, Jumping Flash! (PAL Version, not as noticeable as some of the others), Metal Gear Solid, Mr. Driller, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (PAL Version), Rayman, Resident Evil Director's Cut (PAL Version, big fail), Revelations: Persona, Ridge Racer Type 4, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Syphon Filter, Tekken 3 (PAL Version), Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (PAL Version), Twisted Metal, Wild Arms

    So for the original retail price, no way...but, at this price how can you say no? the games selected are prime selections in several genres and if you aren't looking for a system with your 20 favorite games, but instead want a system that will offer something for most of the players in your world...it's simply great.
