reception
The PlayStation Classic was received mostly negatively by the trade press. Criticisms included the relatively high price compared to competing products, the selection of games and the emulation of the titles, since Sony chose the slower 50 Hertz PAL versions for the ROMs instead of the 60 Hertz US versions.
Like some similar retro consoles such as B. the NES Classic Mini or the SNES Classic Mini , the PlayStation Classic can be modified comparatively easily, so that the game selection can be expanded to include additional titles from other platforms.
