Not only do the titles look better than ever in HD, they also:

1. Play in 1080p, not just 720p as advertised

2. Display of the games can be modified to personal preferance, not just limited to 4:3 and 16:9!

3. Sound quality is A+, find out what a breaking ledge was really supposed to sound like in Sonic 1

-This game is a MUST for anyone from this generation. It completely blows away the original PS2 Genesis Collection.

If you were a nintendo fan back then, wouldn't that be more reason to check it out. So you can play games that you haven't before. I had both systems through the early 90's but more titles on my sega. I will be getting this collection and if there were a SNES one I'd get that too. I have a few virtual console games on my Wii but these ones being tweaked up seem alot better value than their high price single games.

Keep in mind it's only 30 bones. I just realized there are no virtual instruction manuals in this collection, like there were in the Sonic Mega Collection Plus and Sega Genesis Collection for PS2. Who needs them though?

There's a pic in my blog of it. It's also the same stock photo that Gamespot has. Really cool package for the price, you won't regret it.

Yeah, it's definitely enough to make the games playable. They're extremely simple compared to todays games anyways. I always thought it was cool that they scanned the actual manuals in the previous Sega Collections, but if I had to leave something out of this game, they would probably be it.

This game is a steal for $30. You get over 40 genesis games.. So thats less than a dollar per game. With full fledged multiplayer to boot!

any site indicating what the "hidden" games are? I heard about Alien syndrome, but on the last collection it was not there in Europe ... Could Zaxxon be there?

any online modes?

30 Bucks gives you: 49 games, 16:9 or 4:3 aspect Ratio, 1080p, good sound, trophies... and even custom soundtracks but thats pretty useless to me in a GENESIS collection :P

I mentioned this earlier, but check out my blog. You'll see that there are serious differences between this game and sonic mega collection. This is the real deal, and worth every penny you'll spend on it. I would have paid a full $60 for it, were that to be the price.

Even with that comment, I'm still thinking about this. It's just that I'm getting SFIV and KZ2. I might have to trade a game in for some $$$.
