I can understand that 'obsessive' side of collecting, but I can't see 
the NGX ever being sought after as a MIB collectable. Plus I was way too 
excited to be able to play Metal Slug on-the-go to not open it 
immediately! ;)

As I'm sure you've read elsewhere, it does have its faults. The screen 
isn't the best; the viewing angle being my biggest complaint. The sound 
is quite subdued as well... from another perspective, the AES version of 
the games tend to have too steep a difficulty curve; I can't even get 
past level 3 on Puzzled, for example.

I'm hoping they'll eventually hack it without having to open it up, 
though I suspect I'll have to at leat re-flash the thing, and build an 
SD adapter.

Would love to play Lancer, Pooyan and Zaxxon on it though!

Regards,
