Not worth the money whatsoever.
Cons:
1) Feels very cheaply made
2) Bought the 50,000 game version, and there was something around 43,000 games on it.
3) Not surprised, but tons games were duplicates from different consoles, and of course tons of sequels.
4) Either one of the super-cheap controllers was glitching, or the software itself was, causing the game menu to constantly scroll until you used the d-pad instead of the joysticks.
5) Multiple of the few games we got to try, the controllers didn't work for them and we couldn't get through the menu to actually play the game.
6) In an hour we managed to try maybe 10 games, because EVERY. SINGLE. GAME would get stuck and even when you could find the correct buttons (which were different for every emulator) to get to the various emulator sub-menus , you still couldn't get out of the sub-menu and back to the main menu. This leaves you with unplugging the device from the wall for a hard reset. Even then, sometimes it would lock up trying to restart and you'd have to do it again. Out of the 10 games we tried, I managed to get back to the game-list once without a hard-boot. Even when I managed that, we had to wait for--what seemed like--the entire OS to boot back up again.
Pros:
1) the idea was cool until it was implemented
Overall: Not worth the money. For the $60 you'd be better to find an old Raspberry Pi and build yourself a little emulator system. I am new to emulators, so maybe the controller issues part is common--I don't know--but you can't enjoy a system when half the games aren't playable and all your doing is wasting time rebooting over and over trying to find a game that will actually work. And rounding up from 43,000 to 50,000 games is inexcusable from a marketing standpoint.
