How Does LEGO PlayStation Compare to the Actual Console?

I’m a nostalgic gamer who likes building LEGO sets, which makes me the exact target audience for the LEGO PlayStation set released earlier this month. I built LEGO PlayStation (and enjoyed the whole process from start to finish), but it got me thinking. Since LEGO is billing this as a “near 1:1 scale” recreation of the original hardware, what if I dug out my old PlayStation and compared the two? So that’s exactly what I did.

It turns out, the LEGO designers really did make a near one-to-one recreation of the original hardware, at least on the outside (check out my interview with one of the designers). The dimensions are almost identical on all sides of the machine. The LEGO version stands slightly taller than the original, but it’s not really noticeable unless you squat down to look at them from the side.

The front of the LEGO set is particularly impressive, with its memory card slots and controller ports. Just like with the real thing, you can plug the LEGO controller into the port on the LEGO console. The main difference is that the LEGO controller’s cord is shorter than the real thing – but that’s what you’d want in a non-functional display set, anyway.

Even the buttons on the console are similar. Pressing the Power button on the real PlayStation turns it on, illuminating a green light below the button. Pressing the same button on the LEGO version raises a translucent green LEGO piece into the same position where the light would be.
