There are people for who the nostalgia factor is huge. Or will have a great time introducing those games to a spouse or playing with their children for many hours. And these things are certainly way cheaper than a “real” console.

Me? I would do exactly what the GP said. But that why I won’t buy it, because I know I don’t care enough. Even for something I have much more nostalgia for (PS 1) it would have been more a art nick-knack for me if I bought it.
