    A MVS 1 slot board for about 80 euro, a cheap vogatek supergun for about 40 and you're good to go with arcade MVS carts ;)

    People always seem to forget the MVS option, thinking only of the expensive AES route.
    Heck, install the Unibios and then you can choose which to run your carts as.
    It is a cheap, if not an especially pretty, way to an authentic Neo Geo gaming experience.

    Ah, posted too soon; http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/24/neo-geo-still-in-production/
    There has been a recent rumor about the end of the production of the NEOGEO X System. This rumor is incorrect. Tommo will be continuing to support the NEOGEO X format going forward with more games, peripherals and software updates, as well as more units of the console hardware. The NEOGEO X Gold System Limited Edition Collection Series that includes Ninja Masters, was always planned to be a limited edition product. We are currently manufacturing our final run of this Limited Edition Collection Series and our distributors worldwide expect to have the final stock in April. Given the popularity of the NEOGEO X format, we don't expect this stock to last long.

    We are absolutely delighted with how the NEOGEO X has performed so far, and are incredibly grateful for the support of gamers and we are looking forward to continuing the development of this game platform.

    No mention of how poopy it is then?

    That's a load of nonsense, the console is toast.
    They are, at the very least, cutting their losses and are going to sell the handheld only, and burn through those before ditching the evil thing completely.
    They talked up the Gamegadget as well, all the while it was crashing and burning.
    Even the article, with company spokesman encouraging people to buy the limited edition before it's gone.... the thing is crap, it's not the awesome rerelease of a 20th century classic, no, it's a poor facsimile and a bad buy.
