Title: Sega Saturn style PC USB pads
Post by: beo on Tuesday, October 13, 2009, 03:37:41 AM

now readily available.

sign up to three months of sega's VIP service at http://www.playsega.com for $14.99, get a free pad!

I don't really give a crap about the games on offer, but i wouldn't mind having a USB version of the best 2d controller ever made.

That is pretty awesome, but the service seems really weak.  I think for it to take off they're going to have to offer something a bit newer - like Saturn or DC games.  Nevertheless, sweet pad.

That's pretty sweet.  The service doesn't seem terrible, just a little iffy since we've got emulation and all so readily accessible these days, even on portable platforms.  Would be really interesting if they offered Saturn and DC titles too.  Then they might have something really worth looking at.  It is tempting just for the pad, though.  I wonder if there's any chance they'll sell them separately at some point.

Wow, USB Saturn pads can be kinda pricey on ebay. I might sign up just to get the pad.
