Wondering if its worth getting into this system... I always wanted a Neo Geo when I was a kid, but because of $$$ parents were not going for it. Now that I am getting up there in age I was thinking this would be pretty cool to get that feel of Neo Geo for a fraction of the cost.

Has anyone purchased one yet? Any thoughts I am open to them....

It's garbage. It's just bad emulation in a ridiculously overpriced shell. Noticeable slowdown in almost every game.

From what I've seen, the games are poorly emulated and the games look like crap when outputted to a TV.

I can confirm. I own one. I expected low resolution, but the picture quality is pretty bad on hdmi. There is a new game card coming this week for Neo Geo X with 3 games and a software update of some kind. I hope it is a improvement to the video output.

Yeah, that's a real bummer to hear. I don't play arcade-style games very often but NeoGeo was such a Holy Grail of gaming when I was a kid that I was really curious.

If you get the gold edition there are next to no problems. Not only that, but SNK is about to release 12 or so games in the next couple months.

Loading times in the middle of a match in an arcade fithing game or racing game? Disc skipping? Random Restarts? Why would you want the NGCD again?

Another alternative would be a PSP and the SNK Arcade Collection.

Well see on the build quality. A lot of times these devices have lots of kinks that need to be ironed out upon release.
