That's pretty awesome, but I don't know about $199.99 being a "much more affordable package"... I can buy most new systems for that price.

If this was $99, it might be something I'd consider. No way for $200 though.

They must be crazy. $200 for a system that plays old games. This will be a big Fail!

That's what I keep saying, this thing is $80-$100 overpriced. I think they are trying to sell this to the NEOGEO crowd that might be looking for a console to have on the side in case their old one break and they can take those 20 games on the go. The thing is that they didn't even mention if more games would be released for the portable or not.

Re: NEOGEO X GOLD Entertainment System Release Date Set For December 6, 2012 at $199.

Speaking as someone who owns a Neo Geo AES, Neo Geo MVS cabinet and a Neo Geo CMVS, if they all broke tomorrow I wouldn't buy this. For one there doesn't seem to be any support for any of the cartridges, which is a deal breaker. The device is expensive and way too specialized, why buy this to carry around when I can emulate on something else? If I was interested in Neo Geo games, why would I buy this instead of buying the individual games on some other console? Lastly BLAZE being connected to this is a definite red flag considering the really piss poor quality with their other retro consoles.

That looks old school as hell. Awesome.

I thought this was going to be tagged at $99 though?

Collectors and the curious with money to burn will buy it. I mean seriously, just look at the most purchased thread.....People buy random crap every week just for the hell of it.

I know people who have Blu Rays of tv shows and movies that weren't even good, but they bought them anyway. I know people who own 8 different tablets.....just for the hell of it.
