To be honest I'm not convinced that the majority of people are intelligent/nerdy enough to care whether interesting sounds can be made with old video game consoles...
4mat's right too - I don't think the chipmusic 'scene' has done a very good job at building a credible reputation in the alternative music press (not that that matters right...? I'm still going to listen to Zeta Force and Tree of Knowledge and love every second of it, so fuck the hipsters), and indeed the very fact artists associated with the chipmusic 'scene' rarely collaborate with non-chipmusic artists/labels/promoters/etc. (successful exceptions - Quarta330 on Hyperdub, Bodenstandig 2000 on Rephlex, gwEm on Shitkatapult etc) means this '8bit covers!!' attitude is to be expected.
