The Holy Grails of Console Collecting

Retrogaming with Racketboy has up a feature looking at some of the 'holy grails' of console collecting. These are titles worthy of long, hard searches through auctions and used game stores ... both for their quality and their rarity. From the article: "16. Star Fox: Super Weekend/Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge, Estimated Price (Loose): $200. If there was a big one-two punch in Nintendo's fight against Sega's Genesis, Star Fox and Donkey Kong Country would be it. While the main retail games may not be rare at all, there was a special package that is quite desirable. The Star Fox: Super Weekend and Donkey Kong Country Competition cartridges were used by Blockbuster Video in tournaments held within the store, and never received a true commercial release. The winners of the tournaments would receive prizes such as jackets and sometimes even vacations."

I'm just curious what their take on DRM will actually be with the final shipped product.

For all the Sony hate on /., Sony is the only one going region free, Sony said they'd support Linux officially again, and they even mentioned allow homebrew development.

One could easily argue that the PS3 then would have by far the most lax DRM restrictions of the consoles.
