    Looks a little funky - system on a chip, most prob will suck a little no?

    If you could put money on it on Paddy Power you'd be a rich man.

    All depends on those game pads really.
    Edit : you can use your old ones

    Good idea to have slots for all the cartridges though.

    The pads are the least of your worries. Those console on a chips are usually quite poor quality.

    HDMI is so the wrong way to go for all the consoles this professes to be. If your gonna go this route, may as well just use emulators.

    I'll wait for the Retron 9, it'll run DC, PS2, Xbox and GC games right out of the box ;)

    Of course it could go pear shaped and the machine will run CDi and Jag CD games only....

    In turn, become the only system that can consistently run those games.

    And that's why it'll be dragged into the street and burned, burned with fire!

    And even in that molten, melted state, Retr0 will eventually buy it and profess it has redeeming features.

    Well, molten and melted, sounds like the minds of the idiots who judged the Zelda games on the format worthy of release!

    (OK, I 'fess up to trolling Retr0, he's showing remarkable restraint!)
