Just look at the Atari flashback console in a joystick. Was <$20 and sold by the bucketload. The Flashback #2 had more games, the internal expansion for a real cartridge port (for the diehard hackers) and I believe sold even more units than the Flashback #1. I'm sure most people have the nostalgia for playing an old game they loved as a kid, but the reality is when they play it again it's at most a total of a few hours of enjoyment and nostalgia for them. Bundle this up as something you just connect to a tv and turn on and sell it for cheap and it'll do well in the marketplace. As for an A500 in a joystick being bad for games that need mouse and keyboard - you simply don't bundle games that need mouse or keyboard with it! Or if you want to keep the hacker community happy - have the connections accessible for adding a PS/2 mouse & keyboard (like the C64 DTV - thanks Geri!). |

I hate to say it, but I'm pretty skeptical as well. It's a lot to think about and while I'm as hopeful as the next person, I think that the USB port thing is a neat idea. But would that cost extra to have the ability to connect those USB peripherals like a mouse and a keyboard? Is it even worth it?

I think Fred the duck is right, I would not pay that much for that. Little ridiculous. The most I would pay is maybe 50 bucks.
