Value for money there is no competitor to the Console MVS. If you do the mod yourself (quite easy with a jamma harness, you don't have to be a genius to put an MVS in a box and wire up a PSU, and component video out.) it should cost about half the price of an AES including the all the parts and a PSU. Plus you have the choice of using the AES control stick or you making your own custom controls using standard arcade components.

Plus if you decide to build/buy an arcade cabinet down the line you can just stick it in the cab and wire the controls/monitor/coinslot directly to a jamma harness you can't do that with an AES (well there's nothing stopping you, but you'd be out of your mind).

I will have to try this...

But back the topic, like posted above. Another great thing about the mvs boards...once you have time,room, money for a real cab...you can just get an empty one *or build one* and you already have the board for it...and hopefully by that point, alot of REALLY good games.
Yep, I know im the one ya love to hate.

Yeah so I'm about to buy an Neo Geo AES with a serial number in the 100,000 region does that mean the video won't be as good as the earlier models? Is there a huge difference that is very noticeable? Sorry for asking so many questions, I just wan't to know all these details because I'm about to spend well over $200 on this console so I want to know if I should get one with a lower serial number or buy the one I'm currently looking at. Thanks for the help everyone :mrgreen:

lower serials run alot more than 200$ normally just for the collector making prices that way. I still say you should hunt around the neo forum for a cMvS. The video on the higher serials isnt horrible, the lower numbers are just clearly better...how about that for an answer? ;)

I would not be concerned with the serials honestly. Look for a console in good condition, and complete as possible. Boxes are becoming harder to find.
