While you are probably right I want to mention that Wii Virtual Console is the biggest rip off since 60 GB ps3 at 599.

First of all we are all paying money again for games that we own, have owned at some point. Secondly, none of these games come with any sort of new features but are straight forward roms.

And here is the saddest part of it all. There is a Gamecube Sega genesis emulator that runs on the wii of the SD card. That emulator actually makes games look better than official VC downloads. That's just sad...and it shows that VC has become a place where companies dump their old roms for a quick buck.

Xbox live arcade is the way to go for classic gaming but that takes time and effort on the gaming companies part...

Yeah, I don't own most of these games anymore, or never owned them in the first place. If you poo-poo paying for games which are impossible to buy nowadays, you are really missing the point altogether and I don't know what to tell you.

I didn't want to go there but every living person knows that emulators and roms exist for every piece of software that is on VC. While these roms may not technically be legal if you dont own the original...they are out of print hence they are not illegal either.

I am not saying that I don't want to pay for my games but...Sega is releasing the ultimate genesis collection for xbox and ps3 for example...and it will cost 29.99 and come with over 40 genesis games. Or price of 4 genesis VC console games. One can't argue thats not a rip off. On top of that the ps360 disc comes with achievements/trophies and imprved visuals.

I am not saying its a bad service to offer these games...I bought over 15 games already. Jsut that its a rip off. Oh and also...the VC classic controller sucks for holding in your hands and gamecube controller sucks for these games. Luckily I have a ps2 to gamecube adapter...

Ok wont bitch anymore.
