Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'll be honest and say that I bought it for the nostalgic and the reduced price since Sony didn't do anything special on this classic console.

bought this when the price dropped. did not think it was worth price. glad I waited because the game selection isn't the best but it could be worse.

Missed potential. Okay for the price if you’re able to get it for around $40. The game library could be so much better but it’s all in all not bad.

I love the original PlayStation but this one was the worst thing enduring of the classic mini consoles released. Library sucks and it’s the pal version which runs slower. I wouldn’t not have paid the 100 bucks Sony was asking and got this for 30 bucks instead. Built quality is top notch and it’s perfect for hacking and making it better!

Brings back nostalgia it I wish they had added better games. Recommended at the sale price. Def not worth the $99 it started out as.

Between the games selection (Who was begging for Rainbow Six?), the default regional settings for a bunch of games (PAL instead of NTSC for a product meant to be used in the NTSC regions? Why?), and the bare bones options, this is a product that would have benefited from a little more time and love put into it. There's still a handful of games that are great to revisit, but it wasn't worth the original $99.99 it was being solicited for. Even after buying it for $30, it was still a tough pill to swallow once it was up and running.

At $100 it was way overpriced so I waited and got this for $25 after all the price drops. At that price it was worth the nastalgia factor. Controllers aren't great, short cords. The USB power cord wasn't a big deal to me not having the adapter block but after attempting to power thru my TV USB ports I realized the power output wasn't enough. Wouldn't power on at all. One block I used would power up but then turn off after 10 minutes. Definitely pay attention to power output of the wall block u use. Needs to be 1000mah

I order the console online for a lower price because I did not want it at full price. For what I spent I got a few hours of fun but I finished the good games quickly and a lot of the rest I was not interested in. Also, the controls in game are a bit difficult because the console uses gen 1 style controllers without joysticks unlike my original PlayStation. You cannot download additional games to it unless you Hack into it with third party software. If I bought this item at full price I would have returned it.

The system looks nice. I wish the controllers were the dual shocks. Game selection is baffling. Emulation is poor. Wait for this to be discounted

Very nostalgic, but looks crappy. Might play it every once in a while. Only bought it because it was super cheap and on sale.

Good for nostalgia and collecting reasons but doesn’t have enough classics for me to keep playing. Also the cords are very short.

This is a good console if you really are crazy about video games, because the games on there are not very good and the emulation is the not the best on some because it uses the PAL version of the game which reduces de frame rate. But you can mod it and add your own games and that is what this console amazing other than that is not that great

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool slice of nostalgia... but I wish there was more. Like twisted metal 2 and Demolition derby 2..

This isn't in the same league as the other retro mini consoles. The quality of the games isn't as good, the inclusion of PAL games for the US is puzzling, and the first generation 3D graphics just don't hold up as well as the 8 and 16 bit, 2D sprites. The original price was too high, but at the steep discount it's currently at, it's worth a buy. The controllers can be used for retro gaming on your PC or Mac, and the console itself can be modified to greatly enhance your experience.

For all the complaining people have done online, it isn't bad. It most certainly wouldnt be worth $100, not by a long shot, but I bought it when the price dropped to $25. Think on this: would you buy a ps4 disc with all these games on it for $25? Considering it has Metal Gear Solid, Tekken 3, Twisted Metal, Final Fantasy VII and the once-in-a-lifetime beautiful disaster that is Revelations: Persona, I sure would. But I don't know how much more I would pay.

$100 for this was way too much. So was $60. When it's one sale for $30 it's justifiable because it includes two controllers. But while it does include a power cable...it doesn't include a power supply? I guess we all have little USB wall bricks laying around that aren't in use but it's still an odd omission. As are a lot of games missing from this. But, you can mod it fairly easily making it a great little piece of hardware to tinker with.

This was a huge missed opportunity for Sony. I understand that licensing old classics from the PSX era is more complicated and difficult than I could ever understand but it would have worth it to take better care with curating the games on this console and the internal features of the ROM software. If you're buying this now, make sure it's no more than 19.99 and you look up AutoBleem. You will thank me later

Build quality is nice. Game selection is not great. For the price I paid ($20) it’s worth picking it up.

This little thing takes you down a drive, down memory lane. Wish the game selection had better choices.

With over 20 games to pick from. You'd think that there would be countless hours of game play at hand. However, depending on your taste in games. That is up for interpretation. The set up feels minimal at best and feels more like an afterthought. The games feel like they've been downgraded from their original formats. However, not all is lost and with the recent price drop. It would be worth to purchase now just for the nostalgic vibe.
