I'm sorry did I miss something? I don't see why anyone on this list would be
exited with this new (ahem) deVice.
If you are really desperate to play Speccy games there are a gazillion of
emulators on the net available for free and the ROMs are there too for the
same amount.
Why on earth would anyone be interested in PAYING for a hardware platform
(other than the real thing :) that would allow you to be charged for every
game download? Oh and on top of that you can only keep the game for a
limited amount of time, now let's talk about bit rot :)
This is not a good idea, this a very not good idea. now if it was a system
like a game boy and you would be allowed to keep the games indefinitelly
then it might (yes might) have some value.
But for my part, even though I think the hardawre is kinda cool, I think
that banking on this to make a sale is way dumb. I'm sorry can I use your
Genesis I need to call my banker to see if I cvan play the next game of
Golden axe.
Cool Hardware bad gimmick.
