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.

    Good aesthetic and build, horrible software. PAL games built in, enough said.

    When this goes on sale buy it immediately get a flash drive with memory at least 128g then look up autobleem. Take your keyboard and hook it up with the system and hit the "esc" key and it'll bring up the screen. Just look it up on youtube its so easy to do and you can get the entire ps1 library on the system.

    By itself the PS Classic can be a somewhat letdown. Mod it with Bleemsync and you can have all the NES, SNES, and PS1 games you want. Also you can load Windows 3.1 to it as well! I would also recommend buying a SanDisk 512gb Ultra Fit for you storage. Oh the possibilities

    Honesty not that bad of a product. The cords suffer from the same issue as other classic systems of being too short. Truthfully you'll like it if you like the games on it and hate it if you don't.

    Although the included library is a little lackluster, there are ways around that. This is a decent little emulation machine with decent potential. Just don't expect too much out of the box without a little extra effort.

    The nes and the snes classic were top of the line game. The ps1 is extremely disappointed because the game are suck and you can't back it. Also cost more than the other two classics

    Half baked

    This system is unpolished and half baked, and the games simply don’t play well. Between the 50 vs 60 hz rom drama rendering some games nearly unplayable, lack of analog support despite bundling games that practically require it, hideous aliasing for main menu wheel, and leaving off common sense games that Sony has licensing for (such as their own Gran Turismo) along with a single savestate slot per game, this system is not fun or very nolstalgic. Even the 40% price drop within a month of launch won’t save this steaming pile.

    Sony missed the mark on this one. The system is ok but could have been something special if only they would have added the right games. At least it has been reduced in price.
