$30 Rebate on Connectix Virtual Game Station

[Zuofu]

The rebate can be found here

Note the limitations (no CompUSA/Circuit City and dates) but Connectix VGS can generally be found at around $40 - so it's almost free.

That link appears to be for the mac version of VGS. Be careful what you order!

Amazon has it for $30. Which is weird, because they also offer it for $40, make sure you take the $30 link. Found from mysimon.com.

I know the mac version is really good, but how does it compare to bleem?

Well..Connectix VGS actually plays a majority of playstation games (my estimate is over 70%) without major problems, while Bleem plays only about 15-20% under the same criteria. However, VGS does not really enhance the game other than anti-aliasing the whole final image. Bleem on the other hand can support D3D with high-res and filtering.

Therefore, if you don't have a PSX and want to play PSX games, use VGS. If you already have a PSX and want to see some of your favorite games in high-res (provided that they work), get bleem.

Bleem also hasn't been updated in ages - since they began working on the DC version. Rumor has it that they plan on distributing a new PC version like the DreamCast version (in multiple sets each with its own playable games). This of course means you might have to pay for Bleem again.
