The SNK Neo Geo X!!!

[zapiy]

Me too.. Its not the distro i am concerned with as i would happily buy from FunStock.co.uk but i can not justify £170 when Shadowrunner paid $100CAD and in our monies thats around £60.. Anyone in Canada want to hook me up lol?

[Shadowrunner]

I was thinking about asking if anyone wanted me to pick one up for them but I just checked and they have a limit of one per household. I could set up phony accounts but they would all be going to the same address so I don't think it would work.
Maybe they will drop the price in the UK too?

Looks like there won't be any more Neo Geo X:  Termination of the License Agreement between TOMMO Inc. and SNK PLAYMORE USA CORP.

Taken from that SNK Playmore statement,

Regarding customer support for any/all of the Licensed Products, please contact the retail store / online retailer from which the product(s) were purchased.

Ouch. So SNK Playmore licensed it to another company and are now publicly washing their hands of any and all responsibility for the product should any customers who bought one encounter problems with the device and need advice. Classy. 

[TL]

After SNK Playmore revealed the the licence for the Neo Geo X it shared with Tommo had been terminated, Tommo has hit back with its own claim.

Tommo reveals that the success of the console caused SNK Playmore to extend the agreement between the two companies earlier in the year to 2016, and Tommo expects SNK Playmore to stick to this agreement.

It continues to state that under current agreements, Tommo will continue to stock the Neo Geo X and its related items until the new licence runs out.

Will be interesting to see what SNK Playmore say about this. You can read Tommo's response on THEIR WEBSITE.

Well my Neo Geo X arrived yesterday and I spent some time trying it out last night.

The handheld itself looks great and is very comfortable to hold and play games on. The d pad is just like the ones on the Neo Geo CD pads which is awesome and the buttons are a good size so overall I'm quite happy with it.
I also tried playing it on my TV with the base unit and joystick and it also works really good and looks great through HDMI.

I do have a few complaints but they're mostly minor. The power cord is pretty cheaply made and the cable on the joystick is very short. It also would have been nice if the handheld had just a little bit more weight to it.
Also you can hook the handheld directly to your TV without using the base unit, but the only way to charge it is through the base unit. The charging port on it is exactly the same as my cell phone charger but the instruction manual was very specific about not charging it with any other device so I didn't try it, but it seems kinda dumb that you can't charge a portable device away from home. I'm going to look around online and see if anyone has tried charging it another way or if that really is the only way.

I have a lot of the games on this for my Neo Geo CD already but it's a Japanese unit so it's nice to actually be able to read the text in these games and have english voices for a change. I think if I'd paid full price for this I wouldn't be quite as happy but for $100 I can't complain and I'm glad I bought it

I just got one today!!! I'm so stoked! I was at Edward McKay used Books and More store, with my son (we never made it to B&N) and I was chewing the fat with the video game manager, and when I said that one of my dream systems was the Neo Geo, he said "ever heard of the Gold system?" YES! He JUST got one in, and it was $130...checked Amazon.com, and YES!!! I have been dreaming of this since  I first discovered it's existance this summer.

[Shadowrunner]

Awesome! It's a great little system and you got it for a good price 

[TrekMD]

They've come down in price then.  They used to be more expensive on Amazon before.  Good deal!

[Scooter-Computer]

are you guys sure I got a good price, because since then i've found ppl that got it for $88 and even $50...but I don't feel ripped off, I just wonder if i could have haggled a lower price.

Corrrection: The $50 was JUST an additional joystick.
Hey, do other USB joysticks work?
Is there ONLY one MEGA PACK?

There's a BETTER deal than I got, i didn't see it, but it's a HOLIDAY bundle:
NeoGeoGoldX AND the MegaPack with free shipping at Amazon.com
oh well, it's all good.

[TrekMD]

The normal price is $180 or higher so you didn't get a bad deal.  That holiday deal is still going on Amazon?!

[Scooter-Computer]

yep
