Dude, I think it's all BS. If you want to get into the Neo, just get a MVS setup. It's so damn cheap compared to AES, it's still pricey compared to normal games, but still it's still affordable (I'm into it, and believe you me I'm not rich).
If the demand decreases for AES stuff then the prices will go way down, just watch. All you AES people here's what I reccommend: Buy a Phantom Converter and just MVS games. I'm telling you, with most neo people not buying AES games the prices will go down. Then when they get low, buy the AES carts you want so bad.
Supply and Demand, capitalism people.
Peace
