I'm tempted. These would be good to take to relative's houses and even better for kids who get bored at Grandma's house...

I must admit: that is really cool.

Not useful for me as I have handhelds and carry them with me frequently, but it is still really cool and the price point makes it really interesting.

That is freaking awesome! Me wants - US release?

Those are really cool! I wouldn't personally get one, but still cool all the same. Really cheap too.

I'm of two minds on this.

On one hand, this is like a childhood dream come true. All of us, at one point or another, wanted to be able to carry our consoles around with us. Plus, this thing just looks so cool. All of that cheesy plastic makes it look stylistically like it came from the late 80s or early 90s...none of that stupid matte crap that's so popular these days.

On the other, it's probably more convenient and cost-effective to just load the entire Genesis library into a hacked PSP.

Unfortunate there is not a small LCD screen to make this into a portable. On the plus, very compact to take on a trip. A match for the portable DVD LCD Player that has an aux input.

That's cool!
Available on Ebay right now!
I'd be really easy to mod it into a gameboy case or something, tho I love the arcade stick.
Wonder if the multirom is stored on a separate chip from the rest of it...

edit:
Cheaper other places:

I'd be stupid not to buy it.

Since they seem to be from the UK though, will they be PAL optimised or 60hz compatible? I'm just thinking for you North American guys and those from NTSC countries who are thinking of importing.

I'd guess they are, but who knows.

Where's the cartridge slot?

Cool, but kinda pointless. It's not something I'd play at home, as my Genesis is hooked up. I'm not going to carry it around because it's small, but not small enough to comfortably fit in my pocket. Plus, there's no point in having a portable console you can't play unless you have a TV, especially when emulation of this stuff isn't bad on PSP or even on DS. Plus, a used Genesis 2 is worth about the same...
