    I bought this and ended up returning it. It is cool if your a hardcore playstation collector. But for the price, it would be better to buy a Raspberry Pi 3 and add games to it

    This is a pretty not great console. It's using the pre-dualshock controllers and the game line up is severely lacking.

    Not the best emulation, not the best play experience, but still a way to play old games with a good "conscience".

    Terrible out of the box but modding makes it good

    Out of the box the amount they skimped on this product is very evident. However, with a little googling and some modding it can be turned into quite a nice machine.

    Not a good plug and play by Sony. Really lackluster game selection and overall just lame compared to Nintendo SNES classic

    I feel like the graphics on this unit is less than what was on the original PlayStation. A bit disappointed about that. Still is fun

    For the price I bought it at for $25 it’s worth it, but would not spend more with the limited amount of games it comes with

    Could Have Better Games

    Good idea and all. But the lack of good games makes this not that appealing. Half the games on there are low grade games nobody has heard of. Could have done better Sony!

    THE ROMS ARE NOT NTSC. THEY ARE ERUOPE PAL RUNNING AT 50 FPS. VERY SLOW, LAGS, UNRESPONSIVE. THE IMAGE QUALITY IS BLURRY AND BOXY. DO NOT BUY THIS TRASH!!!

    If you can get a deal on this, like $20 or less it’s totally worth it just for modding. Doesn’t have its own AC adaptor.

    Wish I could say this was as good as the other classic systems but unfortunately don't made some really strange design choices and made it expensive to boot. Just pick it up on sale for 20-30 dollars and be happy with what you get.

    I guess I just picked it up too fast. The specific station I purchaced I picked up had games included that I had no clue about. I have not opened this but I had purchased it for my grand children ages 2 -13 to play when they visit. I did not know how bad these specific games are until Daughter told me. It was on sale and I was warned that it was not returnable. I still have it the receipt and all unopened.

    I got this for 20 dollars when it was on sale. The only thing I would say was odd was the power source is a usb cord not an actual electrical cord. Luckily for me my surge protector has usb ports. Just keep that in mind when buying

    This product is overpriced in my opinion. Sony could have made the price point $60 like nes. Honestly, if it wasn’t for a Christmas present, I wouldn’t have bought it.
