We're benchmarking the PlayStation Classic vs. a used PS3 for PS1 games, including PAL & NTSC benchmarks on the PS1 Classic. We won the PS3 at auction for $16.

These new benchmarks look at whether the PS1 Classic is worth it, benchmarking the PlayStation 1 Classic vs. a used PS3 that we got for $16. We also look at the 50Hz vs. 60Hz PAL/NTSC comparison between the PS1 Classic titles and its developer mode, which is unlocked by plugging in certain keyboards. The benchmarks primarily test GTA, Syphon Filter, and Ridge Racer.

At $100, the PS1 Classic is a tough sell except to collectibles enthusiasts, as anyone wanting to just play the games might as well buy a used PS3 for cheaper, then buy the games on the marketplace. It's all emulation anyway, seeing as the PS1 Classic uses the PCSX emulator and the PS3 also does emulation.
