Any good recommendations for Plug n Plays?

The C64 one looks awesome....

I can vouch for that.

Me too. I picked one up at a thrift shop last year, and I have been very pleased with it. Bone will probably disagree, but that is as far as I need to go into C64 gaming.

Not as portable, but the Atari Flashback (model 2's the best I think since it's actually a real atari 2600 on a chip) is really good. Better video out than the original console, and many of the best games built in including some Activision games.

How is the video out better exactly? Because there exists the whole S-Video mod for the original 2600 instead of RF.

What are the exact hackable video capabilities and are they better than a 2600?

The model 2 at least has great composite video out. The modded heavy 6er I bought, I have to occasionally adjust the pots to get real black, but the S -video is definitely better than the flashback 2's video. The picture's near full screen on the Flashback vs the smaller picture on the modded original.
The Flashback 2 can be modded to play most carts, but I destroyed 2 model 2's trying to do the mod myself. It cannot run certain carts when fully modded for carts - specifically it cannot run a Harmony cart which prompted me to get the modded original.

You haven't lived until you pick up a Rootin' Tootin' cartridge.

Has anyone gotten around to S-Video on the Flashback 2?
