All you're really gaining with this is up scaling at $99 and loading times for your carts, unless you're trying to reduce your consoles footprint. The wireless controller is the only real advantage, and it looks pretty bad to me. But as I've said before, I'm used to using scalers like good ole Salx2 and HQx4 for ages, so there's not much new here for me. |

I tthink it's worth it. Speaking as someone who doesn't use upscalers, this is a moderately cheap way to play my games that typically use composite or S-Video, and (for me, at least) I have all my systems hooked up in one room, this will go in my living room and allow me to have access to these consoles without putting all 5 of these machines in my living room. My wife would kill me if I did that. So basically it's a combination of: one machine to play all 5 consoles, upscaled images, wireless controller, AND save states for games that I am sick and tired of trying to beat legit (I'm looking at you, Double Dragon 3) |

Plus it is extremely inconvenient to hook up old consoles to modern televisions just because they usually only have one input for composite and no s video inputs anymore, thus relegating you to use a video switcher. And as you guys already know, old consoles playing on new tvs look terrible, unless of course you are using an emulator in which case it look a lot better. |
