I am tempted to buy one to play with.
Looks like a mountain of fun.

Did you get one yet?

I'm not at all sure I'm sold on the Propeller's value as a gaming platform (or really much of anything) - that is one weird microcontroller. It would be fun to pay with though - I've been thinking of picking one up (on a cheaper board) but I don't have the time to play with it :/

Not yet, but it is on the shopping list when my pockets are filled with money again.
If you want a poor man's...one of those...consider a Dreamcast mod chip & serial cable.

I dunno what prices are like in Finland, but back in the states, I'd be able to get the whole shabang for under $70.

You can code for the DC, use controllers, plug it into the TV, etc.
