Great Experience

The Retrosystem products are reasonably priced and customer service is prompt. I upgraded from the 60 to 120TB and it's been an easy transition.

Thought infinity users would get a free upgrade nope.

I bought the 60tb infinity build last year for £179, thinking you're going to get the 90 tb or the 120tb as a free upgrade. I noticed I and other users question this. Its very confusing and slightly misleading. When you get told oh, you have to pay another £79 for the 60tb to upgrade to a 90tb. From looks either if you pay the fee you still got to pay for the next upgrade each time.

Discord wise:
Trying to raise order concerns or queries system doesn't exist. You just leave a message in the public channel and wait for a mod to reply to it, who will then just inform or let Retro know. You need a ticketing system. Or a Mod mail system, to ban spammers who often spam all the channels.

Awsome experience

Awsome experience. 👍 👍💪💪

Wish the download speed was a tad bit faster but ,for a site that has tons of content. I see why you have a flock of downloaders on a site that NO other site offers. Hands down the best content for the price. Most definitely would recommend this site without a doubt. Keep up the good work

Retrosystem dream purchase

Well I signed up to Retrosystem only a few days ago and I have to say having researched the many alternatives on the net this one is by far the best one out there. Not only for price but content and constant updates. There is also a great active Discord community for information, updates, troubleshooting tips and much more. Highly recommended!

By far the best collection available

I've seen many collections and assortments over the years, by far this one is the best. Its all there, no guess work or mind numbing configs to deal with. Everything works, the content is rich with colorful media. No one else comes close to the collection of operational games you receive. Did I mention the support team is right there to help out with any technical questions on Discord! You will find yourself quite in awe at what games from the past are available!

Perfect retro collection

I have been using the service for several years and have not been disappointed. The collection is well curated. The servers have excellent speed and are always available. The price performance is fantastic. I would like to thank the entire team for the excellent support, which always offers quick help when problems arise. I'm thrilled by the extensive work, especially by Retromaniac. The setup is simple and well documented.

Simply the Best

I have had a few experiences with Retrosystem. Each and every time I'm greeted with the warmest of welcomes, full instructions on how to get started and what to do if help is needed. They immediately were communicating to me through email and chat on the website to get me going. Any questions to the company I had were answered quickly and dealt with promptly. The discord is full of very friendly and clever people who really know their retro. The service is fast and the final product is magnificent.

Great retro experience

An absolutely phenomenal collection of retro joy. I ordered a 16TB physical drive to get me started, and access to the infinity collection so I could update and add systems as my storage grows. All arrived on time and as described. Useful discord full of other users with useful info, and direct interaction with the seller for support.

Worth every dollar....and more

Retrosystem is what all other companies should aim to be like. Affordable and with an amazing group of members and satisfied customers who help each other out.

The installation is a breeze after downloading and the amount of content available is ridiculous.

I've had many questions and issues I've run into throughout my time as a customer and there has never been a day where someone hasn't been willing to help me out.

It's not perfect (and let's be honest, nothing is), but it's pretty close of you follow the instructions.

Worth every penny I've spent and I'm getting set to upgrade to the 90-infinity build within the week.

If you enjoy having at is purest form, Retrosystem is your best option.
