This is a great series, and I hope it sells well. Their last few games they sold at under 50 dollars because they knew a few arcade games weren't worth that much, however this anthology could be worth 50, or more.

Finishing all the arcade games could cost more than $50 depending on your skill so it seems well worth it. It probably (I hope) won't use the revolution's fancy controller for most this as I don't see that working well.
