Thanks for everyone's advice on the "should I buy an MVS" note. Decided to wait until I have the space for a cab before I take the plunge. Guess the Neo Geo dream will remain just that for a little while longer...

remember when I told you a week ago to buy one? Well look at you. You're a week older, wishing you had one.
Well, when you're right, you're right.
So ... how much are these? $40 sound right? Anyone here have one for sale? PM me.

@Stark: the system itself? Yeah $40 is fair. NGPC is weird though, in that you can get lucky and find a system for like $15, or you can find nothing but dudes asking $60+ for em. I think cuz it's such a niche system w/ a small library, you tend to see pretty wild flux based on what's available that week, y'know?

I've literally paid $15 for a loose one in the past, and as much as $75 for a minty boxed Japanese bundled one. But, I'd say $35-$45 is really a good aim. And make sure you get a COLOR model.

If you're planning to get one, I'll throw a loose cart of King of Fighters R2 in that box of stuff you bought from me.

Yes I mean the system and yes I think I'm sold on getting one.

I think you'll be happy with it. I was kinda iffy at 1st, but once I played it, I got hooked.

Plus, the clicky-stick is awesome.

I have my eye on one on eBay, but anyone is still free to sell me one on here if they want. ;)

Is the NGPC region locked?

No, not at all. Any game from any region will run on any NGPC.

I used to have a Japanese colour model (the kind of blue camouflage one). I played Japanese and UK carts on it no problem. Clicky stick rocks. No backlight sucks. If you can, do the mod.
