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.

    I got this on sale and added it to my other mini/classic console collection. It works/plays well and since I got it on sale I found it was worth it. I wouldn't have paid full price thought.

    I got this for my brother who was a big gamer when the original Playstation came out. It has a few of the games he likes, so it was worth it to him.

    This is not nearly as great as the Nintendo counterparts but its a solid way to play these older games. Too bad they're 50 hertz (i.e. EU versions).

    By far the most lackluster of all mini classic consoles, but on sale at $20 I had to bite.

    So much fun to relive the past and play all of the games that I grew up with on playstation. Plus the fact it was on sale for $19.99 made it an easy decision to purchase, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

    The system allows me to replay my childhood favorites. The games included are great and the cost makes it an easy decision for anyone trying to play some of the best games ever made for the PlayStation!

    For the price I guess it’s not a bad buy. You have to remember the graphics are not near what they are today so a little disappointing.

    Unless you plan to modify it, you are much better off with an SNES or NES classic console.

    So no power adapter because they wanted to save $. Not the best thing to do to your customers especially they would want to play it right away.

    Lackluster attempt at a Classic Retro System

    I bought this for collecting and memories of my past. Not very impressed at this system as a whole. Seemed like Sony was just trying to capitalize on the Classic Nintendo phase and put out a lackluster product. I originally bought this at full price new and quickly returned upon reading reviews. I rebought it when the price fell down dramatically, and still somewhat regret the purchase.

    Great nostalgia from this unit. Nothing exceptional about it - it plays the pre-loaded games it comes with. Nothing more, nothing less.
