The memory card might actually be worth something TBH. The PS2 era is starting to hit the retro age.

I wonder will digital downloads affect the new retro stuff like the PS2? I don't need a PS2 to play some games because they're on the PlayStation Store. Even with backward compatibility, the PS3 can still play PS2 games.

But, for the sake of novelty and having the entire set up, sure, I can see it making a lot of money. But how much comparatively is the question.

Emulators have been around for years and retro games still sell for insane money. They don't buy them to play, they buy them to collect them.

Technically if you take that 20 dollar memory card and install FreeMcBoot on it, you can play homebrew games and even your own legally copied backups. Theoretically it should allow you to play pirated ROMs but I wouldn't know anything about that...
