Ps1 Digital good quality refurbished product
I went from using 2 different scart sync on luma cables from retro gaming cables uK and official Sony scart euro cable these paired with retro tink 5x. This is the best option without modification to your console. Ps1 digital the console I got I can just attach any hdmi cable then to your tv. My opinion this mod is the best way to go when they say it’s a pure digital signal from motherboard it is. The picture is the cleanest I’ve seen from ps1 hardware also I didn’t really do anything except lower gamma 2 settings for brightness and no lag. The retrotink 5x picture from rgb seemed a little dark and some latency maybe reddish a little the whites aren’t as white and colors not as bright. This Ps1 digital looks the best on my setup at least. The ps3 emulation ps1 games it’s not bad but again unmatched vs ps1 digital. You can do more in the ps1 digital but I prefer sharp pixels. So I recommend this product for cleanest signal. Also region free and the games seem to load faster. Shipping was good reasonable time and packaged good.. one more thing all capacitors were replaced.Read full review...

The PlayStation CD Laser Has Low Voltage + No Sound From Fans
My PlayStation came in a bad condition. The laser has very low voltage, preventing it from reading discs. I tried to fix it because I previously fixed my GameCube laser but this was so much harder. The open button got sticky and almost got stuck. Power button is wobbly, and I couldn’t hear the fans, almost like there was no fans. This made me so upset, and this product is worse than my Original Xbox which has a broken clock capacitor. If you want to waste 45 dollars on a broken PlayStation, then do so. Read full review...

Great system.
The Playstation one may not have the graphics you see on today's consoles but it does have a lot of games worth playing. For me that's mostly the RPGs. Memory cards for it are cheap and usually you can get the system itself for a low price. The set up is about as easy as modern consoles. If you don't sit close to television I'd advice getting a six foot extension for the controller. The one that you can buy for a PS2 works with a PS1 as well. Both systems have identical controller hook ups. Keep in mind that memory cards are not interchangeable. The PS1 memory card uses blocked memory where each block is reserved for a game save. The PS2 memory cards are memory based, kind of like USB thumb sticks. You can use a PS1 memory card in a PS2 for a PS1 game ... but you can't use it for PS2 games or use a PS2 memory card for PS1 games. Read full review...

Bought it for the case
The beast was sold 'as is' with no assurance that it was running, which was perfect for me as all I wanted was the case.
I gutted it as soon as it arrived, never testing to see if it worked as a PS 1, ran it though the dish washer to clean it up, then set it in the sun covered with a peroxide cream to clean get rid of the yellow old plastic cases get. One more trip through the dishwasher, and then I installed my raspberry Pi in it along with a homebrew power supply and USB hub.
The shell now runs more games than it ever saw in it's first life. The grandkids love it.Read full review...

An amazing find
The Playstation came with an RFU connector, the system itself, a power cable, a dual shock controller, and a d-pad controller. The console itself was in great condition and worked quite well. The RFU cable was a surprisingly better inclusion over an AV connector, as the antenna port on the back of my tv has no other use, so I don't have to switch out cables every time I want to use the system. The controller was a bit smaller than I am used to, but the joysticks and buttons feel quite fluid, so I can deal with that. Overall, a good console which is more than worth the price of $22.00.Read full review...

Nice start for entry level game collector
This is a great console to start off with if you want to get into classic gaming. The graphics which lie perfectly between Old School consoles like the NES and modern consoles depict characters well and the games for this system are still pretty easy to find and normally pretty dang affordable. In addition PS games also play on the P2 so if you were to purchase the p2 and get rid of this system; you could still play games from your PS library.
The Nostalgia factor reads loud and proud as playing this system brings me back to the turn of the century each time I power it on.
Perhaps not quite as iconic as the NES but it's pretty close for a fraction of the price for the games and hardware.Read full review...

A 32-Bit Powerhouse!
I've always been a Nintendo guy and never really bought or owned any Sony consoles (aside from a used PS2), but when I saw a PlayStation 1 going for a low price, I decided to give in and give it a try. From what I've experienced so far, I can gladfully say that the PlayStation truly masters 2d games and has a excellent library of 3d games. This Powerhouse does have flaws though. The menu UI looks very dated and there are only 2 controller ports. Ignoring these issues, the Sony PlayStation is an excellent console you should try out!Read full review...

Good value, exactly what I expected.
This was exactly what I needed - a working model 5501 without any cables or anything else (I already have that stuff). I modified this console with the XStation optical drive emulator. Worked just fine and overall this was a much better value than purchasing a console at one of my local used game stores.Read full review...

Decent product
System is super clean and works great. The controller does not work properly. X and triangle buttons are broken. Great shipping time as well.
