I just got five SNES games for $20 yesterday. Compare that to buying a couple of GBA games that I finally gave in an bought - $50!

youve got that all right man, any thing done with any amout of positivty skill and effort sould be reconised as what it is and not as an all out alternitive for off the shelf. I dont know about you guys but I enjoy the chalange of design and creating these things; way more than playing on them. Take my early portables theve all had there life and they all get taken apart and recycled to my junk heap just to be portables again. Its a cycle uniqe as the portables we make; with character and class no matter how much time, money, or skill we put in to them.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

As for those people, I pity them. Really, I do. Although I don't know if they hate Ben's portables as much as they hate classic gaming. I recognize some of those names, and a lot of them were gushing over the current-gen portables over at places like Joystiq; ethier way, it makes me sick.
