First, I know there are a few threads on this back when it was just a handheld but I felt it needed a new thread since it now can be considered a home system too.

There is more info on this now and I didn't know if any of you guys know yet.
It appears to have a AES styled docking station that charges and displays to your TV and has a hook up for an AES styled Joysticks. I think this could be a cool way to play an Official Neo Geo in my living room with out have to mess with any real AES stuff. I know it will just be an EMU more than likely, I still think is kinda cool.

Yea $200 is way too high. If I could get it second hand in a few years it would be cool. I am really interested in the build quality and emulation or what it may be. I really look for it to be discounted shortly after release (I hope).
-1 points to almost everyone in this thread for reading comprehension fail.
From the link in question:
"The NEOGEO X GOLD entertainment system is set for a worldwide release on December 6, 2012 for a suggested retail price of $199.99 (USD).
The NEOGEO X GOLD entertainment system comes complete with the NEOGEO X Station, the NEOGEO X Handheld with 20 pre-loaded NEOGEO classic titles, and the NEOGEO X Joystick."
it looks really nice for sure, but $200 for a NG emulator seems insane to me. Especially since many of these games have been ported to compilations on various systems, and many of them have received the HD treatment (with online no less!) via PSN and XBLA. I mean it's a great extra feature that this thing does TV-out and has a genuine arcade stick, but if they had just released a NG arcade stick for PS3 and 360 I'd think that was just as cool.
This entirely depends. I do not happen to know if this is emulation or a single chip Neo Geo clone. If it is a single chip, non-emulated solution then it is definitely worth the cost (assuming it is quality and accurate). And the base does have HDMI out, so even if it isn't HD, at least it is compatible and connect-able.
Just don´t expect any more game packs beside these 20 games. They get you into thinking/fantasizing about other game packs with Garou, but those will never surface. Perhaps the unit can be hacked into playing nay neo rom. Then 200 is a pretty sweet deal if the unit upscales to some good resolution without blurry filters and if the joystick is good. Wait.... I think that is too mucg to ask for the 200 price tag! great news.
