Just a heads up for those outside of PAL territory, these blu-rays are most likely going to be region b encoded. That'll prevent you from playing these on your blu-ray player unless you have a way to modify the region. I have a few American blu-rays that I play via my hacked PS3.
I don't love the look, but given the cost of Saturn 3D Control Pads I probably would have bought one if they were around a month ago when I was trying to track one down for a reasonable price.
@Toothball epic story, thanks for sharing. I had one back in the day too, but I have no exciting story around it. Being able to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on the go was pretty incredible, especially when you consider that it was competing against hardware like the GBA.
Once you get to 6th gen it becomes very hard to justify FPGA systems. The systems are just too complicated, and reliance on the very low details of the system are less important. Even if this thing does ship, it's hard to imagine it'll actually play anything more than the MiSTer does. Maybe it'll do N64 better, maybe newer arcade boards. Maybe.

Re: Atari Is Open To Pitches For A New Bubsy Game
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
I'd buy a new Bubsy game on Atari VCS. I didn't really hate Bubsy 3d, it wasn't good but I still had fun playing it.
