Thanks for the help guys, I'll probably be a new owner today then.
As for the free updates to those games, that'd be fascinating...I'd love to be able to play Contra online for example, and I'm sure plenty of other older games could benefit from the online play too. 3D-upgrades would be nice too, but I'm all about them focusing on improving their multi-player first if they do any upgrades at all.
