Best way to play retro games "nes and genesis"

I am currently looking to find a way to play nes and genesis games from my childhood. I dont even own a pc so please keep the pc emulators out of discussion. i own a 360 "its not modded". I have seen the retron device that plays nes and sega games but i have my reservations about quality and playback. What are the best options without buying a pc. I would like to play them on my television. I have a list of 30-40 games i want to get that i used to play to sit down and enjoy like the old days. Thanks in advance

They make controllers that plug directly into your TV that has a bunch of games on them...toy stores usually have them

Buy a NES or Genesis on ebay or Amazon or maybe Gamestop.

any experience with the ouya? it seems to be $70 and can download emulators for it.

If you have an old Dreamcast they have a variety of emulators that work really well.

Why are you so anti PC?
You could go get a computer someone is throwing away and run every game ever made for NES, SNES, Genesis.
If you want to play them on television, you just need to buy the right video card and they are dirt cheap too.
You could easily do this well under $70 if you can find a free PC.

Lukiegames.com has a good selection of stuff, prices aren't bad and it's all tested.

Another logical choice.

The wireless controller is not supported yet, but a wired xbox controller will work
**edit**
Looks like I am wrong, the wireless controller seems to be supported
