Bottom Line
A strange selection of games and muddy upscaling keep the PlayStation Classic mini retro game system from doing Sony's first console justice
Most of the original PlayStation games have a difficult time holding up in 2018. The list of included titles feels a bit lacking and we wish Sony included a DualShock controller instead of the analog-less originals. At $100
The PlayStation Classic feels more like a halfhearted acknowledgement than a top-shelf tribute to Sony's era-defining console. The list of 20 games seems to miss more of the system's greatest hits than it manages to include. Furthermore, the progress of t...

Cute as all get out, Great included games, Solid nostalgia factor

The PlayStation Classic is a serviceable retro console with 20 mid-90s games, but many of them don't hold up as well as you might have hoped, while other, better ones are conspicuously absent...

This replica looks excellent, The old controller still feels good, A mixed but interesting games list
Emulation mixes NTSC and PAL, Lacks options and features
A smart-looking mini replica PlayStation console that is let down by some poor emulation choices and a lack of features. The games list is actually a really interesting mix of classics, curiosities and rarities (but it's missing some fan-favourites). The...
Looks good on a shelf, A few gems in the game lineup
Mostly dull selection of games, No analog sticks on controllers, Missing USB AC Adapter, High price point for what you get
No. Don't buy the PlayStation Classic if you're looking for an ode to an incredible era of games because you will be sorely disappointed. It's a fun collectible, but nothing more...

Abstract: The original PlayStation represents a pivotal moment in the history of video games. It was there at the dawn of real-time 3D graphics processing, the moment we switched from the sprite-based visuals of the past to the texture-mapped polygons of the future...
