10 years late?

Marantz have released a new high end dual tape casette deck. Looks very swish.

You know how 10 years after something has died (like the Atari Jaguar, or Sega Megadrive, or Atari ST, or Amiga) a company releases the best ever program or add-on for the system ever, and nobody buys it because all the machines are already in the bin... well I can see some parallels now with the Marantz tape deck...

except for the fact that we still have all our tapes lying around, loads of older cars still have tape decks, and CDs (and DVDs) are much more scratch prone than we were led to believe by all the CD marketing people! Fact: You leave your CDs in your car (or your mates car) for a period of time, and you get back a scratched CD that doesn't play properly!

Update: Someone's released a new game for the Atari 2600 via BoingBoing
