Its not going to kill the prices of dmds. Look at super nintendo games. The good ones are going for 50-300 dollars. Even gamecube games. I bought a mario party for 40 dollars. Thats probably the cost of it brand new back in the day. Yes there are hd xbox and ps4 games but that doesnt mean they are more fun. Its all about GAMEPLAY!
Quoted from dung:And if the freeplay40's of the world, the rottendogs, the terry's, and the steeve youngs age out? Parts dry up and the value of games fall. You are assuming that there is going to be a ready supply of replacement parts and that isn't a sure thing.
One of the problems we face now is that ttl chips are in many cases no longer being produced. In some cases people are adapting surface mount via adapters, but that is beyond the scope of the average hobbyist. As old stock dries up someone will have to step up to design replacement parts and there is nothing to say that anyone will. An unplayable game is a worthless game.
If the demand is there the parts will be made. So the question is will the demand be there? With nib game prices rising there will still be a demand for older cheaper games. Doesnt mean the prices will plummet...
