I think £100 maybe be a touch too much
Even though games catalog will be free

If this was cheaper, I'd buy one! £100 seems a bit steep when you could buy a Rasp Pi and run a free emulator for around £30. I guess the price will drop sharply once numbers increase .

Good on them - an interesting idea and will bring back some fond memories .

Bring back the C5.

In hindsight I guess the new title description is better

Gave it a quick update, as it's likely to be easier to find .

Do you think you'll get one?

 

[TriplexDread]

Nah mate tbh plenty of emulators out there now that take advantage of it all

I don't remember it saying anything about storage?

Was it via SD card or Flash of sorts?

SD Card according to this page: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/dec/02/zx-spectrum-vega-games-console

For anyone now in the gaming mood, you can play loads online for free here:

Ahhh yeah, Also "The 10% software royalties owed to the Spectrum game developers will be paid to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children."

I guess that's good too

They should clear 100k I think. Two months left and they have 33k

They are going to batter the original figure I would hope
