If I remember this correctly, then NeoGeo was one of the most expensive consoles ever, since it gave an "arcade feeling". Can someone tell me what they used to cost, and what they cost now in that case?

I thought that Jagwire was the most expensive system?

Actually If I think about it, the color PS2 sold for about 2-3k a piece, damn asains! They sold out in 5 minutes for 400 and resold for a lot more!

I believe when it first came out, (Was it '88? or '91?) it cost $600. Not to mention the $100 games.. very few people purchased that system.

sounds like a rip off

it was. lol i bought that damn thing!

share the wealth :/

yeah, lol

wow, racial prejudice at its best: the internet.

NeoGeo Gold was $800. I think Silver was $600.

thats expensive!

not for what you were getting.

was it like an arcade console?

as stated before in this thread, yes.

oh, cool

yep! (i think i'm driving him crazy)

you ain't driving ME crazy!!!

Jaguar, jackass. :D and it was only like $300 or $400

it was made by atari, i think

dude u can find that shit now in a trash can with games if u r a dumpster diver

Or you can just download them online..

games where like 500 gulden here thats 220 euro's or something and thats like 200 dollar or more for a game that if u see it know it looks like crap... atleast if where talking about the same system here

220 € are ~180$ i think...

When the Jaguar FIRST came out, it cost 799.99. I honestly remember this going to Toys R' Us a couples days before Christmas to pick up my Sega CD. I'm serious 799.99. If I must I can also scan the Gamepro in which numerous systems were reviewed and prices for each system were given. I think it cost that much only because it was "supposedly" 64 bits, and most of the systems at that time period were 16. I always thought it was funny because the 3D0 (which I personally felt was an overall better system) was selling for only 600. Either way you were getting ripped. Oh, and Neo Geo's aren't selling for that much now a days. If you're interested it would be best for you to get a Neo Geo CD off of Ebay. You can probably find one in the two hundred dollar price range. Don't mess with the cartridge formatted systems at ALL. The games go for 200 dollars and up! Games for the Neo Geo CD however can be cheap or expensive, but I have many sites where you can download the rom onto a CD, and it works perfectly on the Neo Geo CD system. Eh... the Neo Geo games have aged now. If you've been playing Capcom verus SNK 2, then go back to any of the fighting games on Neo Geo... you'll know what I'm talking about. Besides the best Neo Geo games are on Saturn. Import Saturn that is. Grap one of those for a little under a hundred dollars, and treat yourself to some X Men versus Streetfighter, Marvel Superheroes versus Streetfighter, Radiant Silvergun, Samurai Showdown 3 and 4, the list goes on.
