I refuse to accept that, "braver", "stupider", and "addicting." :P

Yes, I have that collection for my X360. But those collections are are very rare this gen. Konami has two (with only three games each), Namco has one, there was the Raiden disc, is there anything else I missed?

Over the past few years, SNK came out with a few for Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown, and The King of Fighters, as well as a more general arcade collection. Those are only kind of this gen, though--they came out on Wii, PS2, and PSP, but not PS3 or 360. (Plus, the emulation on the collections was pretty bad all around, but that's another issue entirely.) Konami also released a surprisingly good arcade compilation for the DS a while back. More recently, the Wii also got a Data East arcade collection (Bad Dudes, Burger Time, Magical Drop, etc.).
But on the whole, you're right--what with the Virtual Console, PSN, XBLA, and the like, great old game compilations don't seem to be as common as they were last gen.

Honestly my thing with collections of that type is that I buy them to give the publisher their money, then emulate the games on the PC. It works better that way.
Did that with Final Fantasy VII and VIII recently, I bought the PSN releases but then played them up-resed without memory card and with save states on my lovely PC.
I don't see the issue with that.

God they look gorgeous with fancy settings.
If Sega is doing this, they should offer some way to modify the games as emulators do...or someone should make a new PC-based platform for this kinda thing...

The settings used as an example there pretty much mirror mine exactly, and yes games look very good. Why Sony and its partners did not do some basic enhancements like that when porting the games to PSN is beyond me, but I guess the answer is people would buy them either way, and they did.
Luckily we have emulation to enhance classics in ways publishers won't (and making the games future-proof through backups).
I haven't been much of a console gamer since the SNES, though I do buy every Nintendo game and Final Fantasy title since then. Those are mainly what I emulate.

Copied from gaming deals thread:
Gamersgate has started offering preorders for Sega Megadrive/Genesis games, .49, DRM-free (minus Sonic 3D Blast, which is around $6)
You also get bonus 250 blue coins too

Sonic 3D Blast is $4.99. And "* 250 Blue Coins is equivalent to $0.25"
Why the hell I would pre-order old games... only if for the blue coins credit, but I still wouldn't do it. Anyway, it's good news to see all of 'em on gamersgate listed with this phrase "DRM: DRM Free".

I really would have preferred to see the arcade versions ported, rather than the Genesis versions.

Heh, I remember playing the comix zone Windows demo.
An emulated ROM release would probably have way better graphics through scalers and what not.
