When I think about the Xbox One, the last thing I think of is retro gaming or the indie scene. Whether we like it or not, Sony seems to have sewn up the indie market on consoles in recent times; and retro gaming is pretty much the realm of systems built without online functionality (unless […]
If there’s one thing that really excites the hardcore collecting community, it’s prototype products. Because they were never made for mass release, they’re exceedingly rare and tend to fetch high prices at auction if they ever leak out.
