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.

    Most games are pal region so they don’t play proper. Presentation of the game selections is poor and thrown together Sony should have be ashamed of this rushed trash.

    This could have been better. better games, better interface, better overall experience. Feels like Sony grabbed a cheap emulator and grabbed some of the cheapest games they could find, except for FF7 and RE Director's Cut.

    I bought this for a friend's kids. They love it!! The parents especially love the fact the games are all included, so you don't have to worry about losing them or keeping up with the games. This is a great way to bring up kids playing the classic games us adults played growing up.

    Nice little console, I have great memories of the original playstation, so I had to buy one of these to replay those great games since I don't own the original anymore, decent selection of games, great build quality, overall a good console, I was able to get more games to make it better.

    The Sony Playstation retro is something that had no good reviews, but the salesman went through the pros and cons and was dead right! It was not quick but it was also not slow, he said he had never seen any glitches as I have not seen any myself neither. It was a great buy!

    Love this and have had hours of fun playing some of the PlayStation 1 classics. I brought this mainly for Final Fantasy 7 and Wild Arms, but have enjoyed the other titles included. My hubby has been playing this as well and he never played a PS1 before. I think he’s liking it more that I do!
