Sega Mega Drive Collections for 1.87 a pop

I don't normally post a lot of sales, but this one seemed pretty good.

Collections 1-5 for 2 bucks a pop.  A great way to legally get these games.  I can't really attest to the quality though as I've never gotten any of them before.

Why when you can get them for free?
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

I did it as a legit, legal way to obtain the games. Now i have a refund and the serials. I did test the serials in steam and yes, i have all 50 games fully working. Kinda defeats the purpose....  ???

The idea that companies are losing any kind of serious money on illegal ROMs never fails to amuse.  How much are they possibly making on this collection after everyone gets their cut?  50 cents? 

But, hey, if you want to believe that they have crack teams of lawyers going after people bootlegging their games... then by all means...

 :cheers:

I dont think they are losing money on illegal ROMs. Usually the packs go for $7.50 , so to be able to get em all for under $10 is cool to me. I havent turned on my 360 in months, so I havent played the Genesis collection I got for that in ages. And now I can play these games on my PS3 via emulation and not feel so bad about it :)

think everyone has their own idea of when it boils down to this. Personally, it was about 9 dollars to get all of these games.  small price to pay for the convenience.

Vector Man and Comix Zone are the stand outs for me.  I have them, but still haven't spent the time to play them.
