Do some of the pre installed game suffer from the lag?

Tekken 3 does feel sluggish as does Cool Boarders and GTA but not having played the game on an actual PS1 for years I can't say if that is how it actually plays .

Thanks for the reply.

Wow down to £25 at Tesco. I know its been a bit of a flop but to drop by almost 75% since only launching a month ago is nuts. I hope they get it right if they do a PS2/3 version.

Still £49 in my local tesco

Bought one for 42.50 with Argos and eBays 15% off.

It's actually not as bad as everyone makes out in its standard form!

Looking forward to modding it tho, sometime in the new year perhaps.

I am starting to be tempted. I do not have any nostalgic affinity to the Playstation. At the time (1995?) I was stubbornly refusing to believe a console was better than my 386!

All my attention was on the mythical Pentium! I had to wait two more years before I could afford one.

I know the moment I purchase a Classic at £50 it will get reduced to £25.00!

Finally some that agrees with me.

It's been the power of YouTube and social media, people listening to the moaners and staying away .

I watched 3-4 reviews on it so can only go by that and the general consensus being it was just about fine for "joe public", but had some flaws in it which was disappointing for something branded as an official Sony product. Seeing as the reviewers got them for free then you'd always expect them to be a bit positive leniant if anything.

To be fair, at that price, it is worth a punt even you you end up bricking the thing through tinkering with it. could still serve as a useful case + controller for a raspberry pie.

Duke · 2 Jan 2019 at 20:09

Yeah definitely. It sounds like it was either just one Tesco store doing it for that or maybe just for the day or something but wouldn't be surprised if it did go down to that again.

In fact looking at the second hand prices of PS1 games, it is probably worthwhile in part to (legally) own those regardless.

Duke · 3 Jan 2019 at 20:18

Thats part the reason I went down the PS2 Slim route - get pretty much any PS1 or PS2 game for a couple of quid each.

These are now £30 in Argos, I've got one reserved. Who owns one? Are they worth it with the hacks to add other games etc?

steve5424 · 19 May 2019 at 10:36

Well I love mine and I bought day 1. Paid full price, no regrets.

Love the extra life I have gotten out of it.

Very easy to hack. Reasonably easy to get extra storage onto as well (generally requires a small hardware mod to reduce the current limit on the usb ports).
NTSC works better than PAL too.

At 30 quid you cant really go wrong but I'd prefer if they'd done a proper job of it. Still watching so of the reviews and the frame rate looks very sketchy on a few titles.

ricid · 19 May 2019 at 16:41

I'd be tempted, but a PlayStation without Wipeout is no PlayStation at all.

elh_2009 · 19 May 2019 at 16:59

I picked one up, couldnt resist at £30, i will probably hack it at some point but so far ive just changed to NTSC, its not perfect but its no where near as bad as its been made out to be. For £30 you cant go wrong

I can't find anywhere with stock :confused:
