I'm pro emulation, but I don't see anything wrong with people buying games legally throw the eshop.

A lot of gamers are against emulation, so this a great option for them, so I don't see why this is sad.

If you're into retro gaming, why not pick it up physically? Very frequently that's cheaper to do, or the same price. For the common games, anyway. The rarer stuff, yeah... could be pretty expensive.

1) You may not own the console.

2) Is just easier to get the games. Don't have to buy it on ebay and wait for it to ship, nor do you have to get out of your house to buy it in a store. Unless you really really want the cartridges, is just easier to buy them online.

I don't know much about retro gaming, but prices on ebay can get really high on some games, so in the end is just cheaper to have standard price for all the games, to get something extremely cheap would be something like a flee market, and that's a chore to a lot of people.

You're spot on @ convenience. But honestly, most people who have held a cartridge recently should prefer that weighty and slick, at least the Genesis ones.

Ebay can get nonsensically expensive with the rarer stuff, though. But it's still easy to build a collection like that, at least I managed to for my Genesis (the system is like $40 on ebay, too).
