Basically it's like this ...

I sold everything when the crap hit the fan a few years ago and now I'm looking to get back into the video game hobby.

This time however I only plan to purchase what I will play. This means for some consoles I may only own 1 or 2 games.

The prices for the 2600/7800 consoles seem excessive to me especially those resellers who a/v or s-video mod but don't even include an ac adapter or joystick!

Since there are so many console clones out there why hasn't anyone comeout with something for the 2600/7800? Is it due to chips that are no longer replaceable?

I'd like to buy some homebrews for both the 2600/7800 but the consoles seem a bit costly if you want upgraded video. Is it that difficult to add?
