Whilst internet shopping I stumbled upon this [http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/8922102/Sega-Mega-Drive-Console-With-15-Games/Product.html]. A new Megadrive system not made by Sega. With 15 games preinstalled onto the system, plus it plays all other Megadrive carts, regardless of region.

I'm pretty skeptical about this, its made by Blaze. So Googled for an article or two and all I could find was articles [http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/news.phtml/22954/Blaze-new-Sega-Mega-Drive.phtml] from sites I've never heard of.

I like retro gaming, and I loved my mega drive as a kid, so I'm seriously considering getting this. However I'm quite surprised a company can come along and just remake a console made by someone else, however old. If someone made a console that played PS3 games, there would be some sort of kerfuffle.

I'm waiting out on a cheap new SNES to come along though, that way I don't have to worry about blowing into the cart for 15 minutes every time I want to play some old school Mario.

What other consoles could do with a cheap rehash? If this sells well I'm hoping for a new Dreamcast.

Edit: I'm wonderfully a year late, which is why no decent articles came around id imagine. :)
I think, I can't find anything about it. Id have thought this would have got more coverage.
