Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 20, 2026, 09:30:33 AM@targetrasp --> yeah... I am a sucker for the white console as well. Maybe because it's different?! OR you could just get both in an ultimate bundle LOL 
@retro junkie --> Even with a job these days... buying something else generally gives me pause. It's hard to talk about selling collection stuff on 1 hand ... and then talking about buying more stuff from a collection that I would be selling. With some of the uncertainty and rising prices, those are also in the back of mind.
You make great points on the price of games (though it appears these new games come all with new clamshell style cases!) and additional great points. The clamshells make this deal for me in a way. Even though... I have since reconsidered my space and buying of these packages. The "shut up and take my money" is there... however, logic is starting to win
I am still in shock this is a thing...

Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 20, 2026, 08:23:46 AM@targetrasp they were pretty good. And I'm a pretty big fan of the Prisoners album. @Grindspine and I some how tripped over that and it stuck!
In fact, since the last Panophobia song post... I've been listening to it AND starting to learn it on guitar.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 20, 2026, 08:22:29 AM@targetrasp - You're welcome, my Friend.
Also, Do you like Fluance? You know what... we need a vinyl thread. I haven't got back into vinyl yet, but looking to make it there. We ended up getting one of these for the daughter on a major Black Friday sale (2 years ago):
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ATLP120XBT--audio-technica-at-lp120xbt-usb-wireless-direct-drive-turntable-with-bluetooth-and-usb-black
Been a fan of the Audio Technica stuff... and might look into that for ours down the road. However, if Fluance is decent... might look into that as well.

A second thought. My wallet is an evercade size money pit. And I am comfortable with that. I have Neo Geo games on that console. If I was still getting up everyday and finding myself at a job, then the bundle would be a no brainer. I probably could swing the console only and there are some good games on eBay that are under the $90 threshold. Games that I really like, example Fatal Fury Special.
I am really very undecided.

I am first, in a state of shock. This messes up everything that I had planned for what I was going to do this year as far as gaming. My first thought is that I would love to have that big bundle, but $1000....hmmmm. I have been going through my games looking for things to sell. I would have to dig deeper to swing this. My first chance to have something like this comes to mind. I have mixed feelings and a mixed reaction to all of this. I went on AliExpress and the adapter for the MVS games would cost about half as much as the console by itself. And a multi cart to go with that would cost more than the console. So..........it seems the best deal out of this is that big bundle. Not sure if I can reach that goal.

thank you all,
no games to speak of, but the "what are you listening to" thread has me on a vinyl spending spree. looking to treat myself to a mid-tier record player. Eyeing the Fluance RT81 in piano white but haven't pulled the trigger yet. The Neo AES + preorder is also calling to me

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: Modern Routers
Last post by targetrasp - April 17, 2026, 01:01:41 AMI've heard people complain about certain devices not playing well with the ubiquity gateway, but I've found that not to be the case. I had repurposed an ASUS router as an ap and stuck it in my daughter's room at least 10 years ago and that's what her wireless devices were connecting to. The wireless stuff I forgot about changing to the new SSID were still grabbing that old one and getting internet access. It took a while for me to realize my phone was still on it.
I've tried a lot of different switches, network drives, etc. and nothings been difficult to get to work. I don't have any other brand of APs or managed switches to test out, so I can't speak to those, but what I do have has all worked out just fine. I honestly cant see it getting any better at this price point.

Last post by targetrasp - April 17, 2026, 12:42:49 AMIf the Ultimate bundle came in white I'd have a hard time not buying it.
90 per game is a tough sell for me for game that I've got on other consoles for much cheaper. The PS2 SNK Arcade Classics vol 1, steam has or had a bunch, amazon gave a bunch away, those cool little mini arcade machines came preloaded with a bunch of games.
Still kinda want one, just to have a bunch of neo snap cases taking up space again
