I assumed as much at first, since the Sega Genesis Collection was not only clear, but offered progressive scan for a PS2 game. That and all the crazy video options of some of the Sega Ages collections.

I'm hoping that the comment about the aspect ratio isn't literal was just the PR guy talking about something he doesn't fully understand.

Sorry guys, but, I'll buy it, I'm a sucker for old school comps.

Amen!  Here is another link.

That sucks that the games will be "stretched to fit" a 16:9 screen unless you play on a 4:3 screen.  Stretching video sucks.  Only Ralph Nader stretches his 4:3 images to 16:9, and he is a habitual loser.

Finally Joe we AGREE on something.....

Awesome, I'm so f*cking stoked.

I was growing tired of my 32 pre-existing copies of Sonic 1 & 2, and just thinking how nice it would be to own another compilation containing them.

Still sucks either way. Id rather just buy the real games.

[MotherGunner]

Whoa alot of you are really hostile this thread...  What gives?  Ya'll wake up on the wrong side of the election?   

[Joe Redifer]

I agree, I'd rather just have the real games, but the filter doesn't have anything to do with the 16:9 stretching.  That happens automatically depending on how you have your console set.  So lame.

I think I have a new signature.

But I luvs da PS3!

It's like they filled in the spaces of some missing titles from the PS2 collection release. I am pretty sure the filters can be turned off since it is a full game collection. Double Dragon the arcade with the filter on for Live Arcade was actually decent in some ways. This collection's filter looks really bad though.

I see it as the same thing..release the same thing collection but with more games that the other one didn't have.

Given sega had two sonic collections for the gc all ready and one genesis for the PS2.

I'm starting to think sega is taking lesson from namco and what,they did with the museum serise

Super Thunder Blade makes this collection a MUST OWN.

There's now an official page for it-

*Unlockable games to be revealed soon!

Budget priced, with all 4 Phantasy Stars, Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force 1 & 2 and Beyond Oasis alone makes it more than worthwhile. But unlockable arcade games seal the deal.

I hope that the "MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER OPTIONS" become online multiplayer and that all the interview videos are 720p video.

[Joe Redifer]

I'm not seeing all 4 Phantasy Stars.

I don't want to play unlocked arcade games stretched to fit my 16:9 screen.  Fail.

There is very little chance that the interviews will be in 720p video (maybe upscaled) because all of this has to fit on a wimpy Xbox360 DVD, unless the interviews are crazy short.
