Sounds great, but it depends on the quality.

I prefer the originals over third party.

Ditto. Assuming it's real and relatively inexpensive.

They're saying under $100, and I'm expecting closer to $50. This interests me a lot. My old Genesis consoles have long since died, with the exception of my Nomad, which isn't in amazing condition.

I've been toting 4 or 5 old systems around with me from house to house (and state to state) for years. They sadly haven't even been hooked up in 5 or 6 years and I've no idea if they work anymore. Primarily because finding a place for them all near the TV is a exercise in madness. Finding one unit that plays all my old favorites (pre-PSX anyway) is like opening a box of gamer catnip. Anywhere <$100 is in reasonable territory imo. Must start saving my pennies.

... Then again... Maybe I'll just settle for emulation on the Ouya. I'll see how that goes first I guess. A penny saved etc etc.
