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.

    Love the idea of bringing back the old school game systems. I’m loving every bit of the game play. All the best games. You can’t beat the price too.

    I bought it during a really great sale and I have not regretted it. It’s a lot of fun and comes with some good games. I’ve heard that you can add more but never looked too far into it.

    Cool to play few games played 20 years ago. Be nice if they improved the graphics but cost was low so can’t complain too much.

    If you’ve played the original PlayStation, these graphics are definitely not the same as what I was expecting and I’m not comparing it to the new age systems. My expectation were low to begin with seeing the huge price drop off from the original release price but I definitely see why now. I kept the system just to keep a classic feel and variety but definitely less played than the Nintendo classic.

    The system looks and feels great along with the controllers. Unfortunately the same attention to detail was left out of the guts.

    Purchased on sale for $20 at that value it's a great purchase. I'm glad I didn't pay the original price when it was first released. My kids have been enjoying playing old school games.

    ps 1 was one of my favorite console of all times, so it's great to have the change to have the remake of this. You just need to modify it a little to turn this console into a beast!

    If you grew up gaming on the original PlayStation, this is a must have to add to your console collection. Hoping that they produce a ps2 with some of my favorites next. Sony are you listening?

    I loved my PlayStation back in the day. For the time the graphics were top-notch. This thing looks terrible on today’s televisions, though. You would think they would have cleaned the games up a little beforehand. I rarely play this thing. But the Nintendo mini it 1000x better.

    Bought this for a friend who was talking about playing old PS4 games. The writing was on the wall. Even though he was planning to buy this, I beat him to the punch. It was much appreciated.
