Just wondering... I was thinking of buying this but not if it has a ridiculously high price.
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Feb 10, 2009
49 Sega classics packed into one huge compilation for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and includes a variety of bonus material perfect for the biggest of Sega fans.
Any idea of what it will cost?
I just looked and Play-Asia.com has it listed for both the PS3 and 360 as $34.90. Usually play-asia sales games a bit higher than other places, so I'm guessing it will be around $30 everywhere else.
Edit: Oh wait, just checked SEGA's website. And it says:
"THE LARGEST SEGA GENESIS COLLECTION TO DATE!
Take a trip back in time with over 40 titles from the SEGA Genesis™ era, including your Sonic The Hedgehog favorites, for only $29.95!"

Presumably, it will cost less than any legal fees that could hypothetically crop up if you opted to pirate the compilation's games instead and got caught.
"Presumably, it will cost less than any legal fees that could hypothetically crop up if you opted to pirate the compilation's games instead and got caught.I am not much of a Genesis fan and I never had one so I won't have any "nostalgia". 40 Sega titles is too much and I won't be spending 30$ on that.So, you know, probably less than your average guilty verdicts for copyright infringement. That's helpful to know. Somewhat. Vaguely. Maybe."
It's an emulation and piracy joke, nothing more. These threads usually have at least one reply consisting of "ROMS LOL WHY PAY SEGA WHEN WE HAVE THE INTERNET!?" and I thought I'd parody that mentality. I'm not one to knock somebody for their budgetary considerations since I'm a college student with loans and all, so I didn't mean anything personal by that post.

This is the equivalent of a homeless Sonic the hedgehog begging for spare change on the street corner.
