Damn! I normally don't care for clones but I'm really interested in this between the HDMI and SLG. I can't wait until some reviewers get their hands on this.

I think the system lost me when I heard it's just dumping the carts for the roms, and not storing it (So you have a load time for the cart). So for me, it's really a slightly cumbersome way of doing something I've already been doing for over ten years. But then again, I know the pain to set up a PC and front-end for seamless gaming, and if you wanted to have your own rom dumper so you're 100% legit, that's not something most people would be willing to do, and not at that price range.

We have box art.

I've had my pre-order in since September. Amazon just emailed me asking me if I still want it, and apologized for the wait. They also knocked $20 off! So now it's in my order section for $79.99!
...that said, I still would have gladly paid full price to get in 9 months ago.

I got the same email. I honestly don't mind paying full price for its original release date, but at 80 bucks this thing is a bargain if the system turns out to be as awesome as i'd hope
