BLAZE Sega MegaDrive Limited Edition

[News Portal]

Happily, it also comes ready to fire with two controllers and the ability to display any original MegaDrive cartridges you might have kicking around on your banging new flatscreen.

These are great little machines. Even though I already have 2x megadrive 2's and a megadrive one, and sega-cdx, this would be a sweet machine to take away on holidays. This one is better than the one sold at kmart, simply because streets of rage is in there. Which ones though would be helpful. If it's just 1, that's ****, but number 2 and 3 would be epic.

Pretty sure these are made by Sega. So while they might not be exactly like an original SMD they would be close enough. If I was going to get one I'd buy it over an original SMD because it would have brand new controllers, and an AV input instead of the antenna jack.
