It’s a great little system. Its portable, small and lightweight; the perfect replacement system if there are no original Playstation models around or if you want a change in looks but not sacrifice on functionality. This is petty much a smaller Playstation that functions the same as the original one, however it does not have a slot in the back to put a Gameshark or any cheating devices on it, that’s the only downfall of this version. PS One or original Playstation controllers will work on this system since the slot design is exactly the same. If you had the original Playstation, your memory cards will also be compatible since the slots are exactly the same here like the controllers.
