Anyone think that the HDMI logo on the back kinds of ruins the retro-ness of the thing? I know why they do it though--the company that makes HDMI actually offers a lower royalty rate if you put an HDMI logo on your device.
@DarthNocturnal Actually, games are probably cheaper today than they were back in the day. I remember that some N64 games and later SNES games could be quite expensive because of the cartridges. For instance, Final Fantasy VI/III cost 70 USD when it first came out, and Ocarina of Time actually cost $80 during its first pressing. Even for games that cost ~$50, you have to adjust for inflation. A $50 NES cartridge in 1985 is equivalent to $111 in today's money. With that in mind, its surprising that game prices haven't gone up even more.
