Pre-order sales for Tommo Inc. and SNK Playmore Corp.’s Neo Geo X Gold Limited Edition entertainment system sold out this week due to strong demand for the handheld bundle.
I (Robin Ek, TGG) just found out that Bitmap books is going to release a really cool book about Neo Geo's history. So if you're into Neo Geo, then don't miss out on this book =)

Gamers hold a lot of techno-joy for their favorite hobby, and are willing to break out their credit cards for the next big system. That is, assuming that it isn't as ludicrously overpriced, as some have in the past.
I don't think the PS3 should be on here, like the 360 it had high specs when it launched. Also, the vanilla PS3 had blu-ray drive, internal hard drive, built in wi-fi, and a PS2 emotion chip. The Wii U in my opinion was overpriced during the latter parts of its life cycle (especially in 2015-2016).
At first you may think $599 for the Playstation 3 was crazy to sell it at that price tag, but if you consider it had a Bluray player, a stand alone cost in that time over 1000 dlls, it had a PS2 integrated chip, not to mention a hell alot of media options you toy with, lots of tech integrated, so $599 was very reasonable, but the problem was that the economy of most people wasn't that great( today is even worst) to spend in such equipments, even thou at that price it manage to sold out nearly everywhere, Playstation brand is very powerful.
No mention of N64? That wasn't cheap day one. Prob why console was reduced by nearly half within 6 months.
