I'm all for it.. but Tech has

I'm all for it.. but Tech has gotten to the point its not like the old days. The PS1 emulation in the Ps2 cost Sony somejhting like $16 at launch and it was like -$5 later in its life.. it was a single chip .. the PS2 Emulation in the PS3 added somewhere in the range of $50.. now when you are getting in the $600 range and Blue ray drive was $150 a machine it was ugly.. The days of a singel chip (cheap) solution are long gone.. maybe not for Nintendo (my understanding is Nintendos cost for a WII is less the $40 total.. (drive PSU).. so a emu will be dirt cheap for them.. not MS or SONY..

i dont mind using my old machines..but space is a consideration.. a PS3, 360 and Wii.. i dont got room to have a gamecube, a PS2, a Xbox all sitting on my stand too.. and diggin um out is not ahuge deal.. but unhooking and hooking um up is kinda a pain.. small one, but annoying none hte less...

SO if it addes $10-20 to price GO FOR IT.. but anything more it to much.. I honestly dont think you will see it much more.. selling the games in a downloaded again is much better businesse sence to the big guys.
