If I remember correctly, Blaze released some clone Mega Drive systems in the UK some time ago. Those clones are pretty poor from what I've seen, with bad sound emulation and some games not working properly.

I just hope this thing works properly.

heck, at £500 they can clean forget about it.  My PSP does all this perfectly already and they cost £20 these days...  

[UPDATE] it is £500...

Shit, if they think they can jack up the prices just because Neo Geo is an expensive brand, they can expect a warehouse full of these. The Neo Geo is expensive because it is literally an arcade machine for your TV. Not some portable emulator.

[L___E___T]

I think they've made pricing decisions based on the twitter buzz when this thing was announced back then...
Whatever the reason, it's moronic.

As expected, NEOGAF having a field day wth this one

What in the world are they smoking and where can I get some? That price is just ridiculous

It will come with 20 licensed games built-in [...] The NeoGeo X will also feature an SD card slot...

Oh, so it's one of those things. Great. Another portable emulator.

Methinks they purposely hiked the price up so that when they announce the real price, it won't look so bad & more people will flock.

2Bhonest, I already lost interest in this.

I believe the price is not official yet.
Just somebody said that it would be more affordable than an original Neo Geo.

That doesn't mean that it will cost 500 pounds or something.

I think it'll be under 100$/Euros.

[L___E___T]

I registered for updates, but it'd have to be sub-$100 for me to take an interest really.  Like I said, PSP does this flawlessly at 60fps v-sync already.
