Re: To Make Sense Of Xbox Multiplatform Rumours, We Need Only Look To The Past

Personally speaking, the major difference is the digital library. My Dreamcast games physically exist, I can even make back ups of them.

I have what, 3 generations? of games locked in the Xbox ecosystem. If MS pulls a Sega NOW for a future without a console (which doesn't seem to be "soon")... where does that leave my library?

-PC? Very few third-party games support "play anywhere"
-Streaming? Licensing Hellscape for anything before this gen, a bunch of games can't even be bought anymore, they aren't going to wrangle streaming rights for them.
-Back up? I haven't ran the numbers but I can't imagine it's going to be cheap to get enough drives to store them all or get physical copies.

It's not like Sony, Nintendo, or Steam is going to honour our purchases.

Re: The Retro VGS Is Reborn As The Coleco Chameleon

"COLECO Chameleon is a versatile new video-game system that serves as a modern day take on the classic game console and will accurately play classic games from the past. The COLECO Chameleon also has the ability play brand-new games in the 8-, 16- and 32-bit styles, a growing and popular genre in today's game scape."

if its an Retro/retro style only system why dose it have dual sticks?
