Loafer Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I am curious. I had a conversation about how the colecovision market is very different from let's say the C64 market which is more open to selling roms. Let's assume the market changed and roms were available for sale for colecovision games. What would be a price point you would be ok with paying if roms were available at the same time as the game (or once they've sold out on the physical game) my take if AFTER all physical copies are sold (so they take care of that business first): - $10 USD if member of colecovision club - $15-$20 USD if not a member of colecovision club ? Just a thought. I'm not sure if I'd buy EVERY game at $20 a pop but if it's $10 USD I would, each and every unreleased title. This is the same for Pixelboy or OpCode or whatever. I gather we have a different value put forth towards "roms" but I am curious what the masses think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to buy the physical cartridges but with shipping to Alberta it gets very pricey very quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather buy the bigger package for the secret game, extra's, and access to the rom vault. I'm just going to wait until next years membership. If there isn't one next year I'll just buy the rom pack at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still patiently awaiting for the extras, additions to the vault and secret game from both memberships (intv and cv) .........while other new games are coming out for sale constantly ......the secret game remains “secret” .....

mingus Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Wondering about Rom Vault access vs the Club. Do either (or both) give you ongoing access to the Rom Vault? I really want to take advantage of that access in time for my Phoenix arrival next month, but don't want to miss out on any new additions that may be added if it's a one time download. At the same time Will there be a Club next year (January) and, if so, is there some kind of "continuing member" price? I definitely want to get in on the club, but feel like the Roms are a big part of it. Would seem silly to buy the Roms now if I was going to join the club and get them in January anyway....except for those months I get access until then! -James P.S.

So will I be kicking myself for not holding out for the January club enrollment if I buy access to the Rom Vault the day my Phoenix arrives? I'm impatient and impulsive!

H.E.R.O. Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Shame Steam has it buried in new releases. You start on the store page, click new releases which actually takes you to POPULAR new releases then you click new releases then you click ALL new releases and right now it's on the fifth page deep. Also, don't think all this side chat means I still won't pony up some cash for the Vanguard rom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
