Just found a new one, I think. Season 2 of Norm. One episode has Norm's boss finding out that he bought a handheld game with money from the office-- the handheld game is shown and it is a VMU.
I can't remember what the book is called, but when I was a kid I read a novel about some boy in middle school who had a Game Gear with shark stickers on it. I can't remember much else.
*CTRL + F: Scott Pilgrim on all pages.* Nobody mentioned Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World yet?
Come to think of it, there's at least 5 Sonic references in the graphic novels; then of course, there's the total-score chime from the movie (sadly, I've only seen the trailer ). I get the feeling Brian Lee O'Malley really likes playing Sonic. =P
(in spoiler tags if you want to find the references yourself) -Scott's playing Sandopolis Zone in a flashback. -Scott, Kim, and Lisa formed a band called "Sonic & Knuckles." -The title page for Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together is a reference to the Sonic the Hedgehog title screen. -When Roxanne Richter is defeated, bunnies, rabbits, and pigs bounce merrily out of the smoke. -Scott calls Wallace at his workplace for cheats to Sonic 3.
In The Smiths track "Big Mouth Strikes Again" Morrissey sings "the flames rose to her roman nose and her Walkman started to melt" However in the Placebo cover, Brian Molko sings "her Megadrive started to melt"
Surf Ninja's, the youngest brother has a "Magic" Game Gear that lets him play stuff that's happening in the movie.
Ah that explains it! I had a copy of the Surf Ninjas game for GG, and I've never seen the movie. In the game you actually collect Game Gear carts as powerups.

Christ, I remember this movie. I only watched it once when I was a kid, and then never again. I didn't even know the name of it; I couldonly grasp the ""Magic" Game Gear that lets him play stuff that's happening in the movie" reference.

Scott Pilgrim is literally riddled with thousands of videogame references.
It's quite a bit overblown and can be hilariously bad at points.
In His and Her Circumstances (aka Kare Kano), there is a sequence where Tsubasa is walking down the street and a series of poor quality monochrome photos of the streets of Japan (Tokyo?) are used. It could be co-incidence or it could be product placement, but you can just make out banners advertising the dreamcast and sonic adventure,
