That's fairly cheap, but console only.

Using this search:

Quite a few going cheap! I see a 'buy it now' for £10:

Also - if you want minimal fuss, HDMI output and 40+ games, you can get the official sega megadrive mini for around £50:

Super easy to mod! In fact it is the best console to mod, as it has the native 60hz crystal. You can have switches on the side: jap/eng & 50/60hz. Because if you ever get an Everdrive for storing games on SD, you want the 60hz varients as 50hz sucks.
