It's not a GOOD article, and it contains info most of us already know, but I thought it was neat that it was even mentioned in a semi-mainstream media outlet. It also gives a nod to SamShoVS. They considered the Neo "a good value" due to it's longevity.

Enjoy!

Edit: I'm so glad it didn't talk about Staduim Events.

Honestly nice to see a mainstream article that isn't spazzing out about collectors and YOU MAY HAVE A FORTUNE IN YOUR ATTIC IF YOU HAVE A NEO GEO

My sentiments exactly. That's why I thought it was post-worthy.

Oh, and wtf sorry about the broken link.

Weird thing to have a typo on in the chart:
"Ninetendo NES (1986)"

Of course they had to fill half of the article with babbling about Nintendo...

The supposed inflation adjusted prices for video game consoles like the ones shown in the article always feel surreal to me.

My friend owns a used game shop and he told me a couple weeks ago that Super Mario/Duck Hunt is worth $15-$20. My head exploded and I couldn't get over it for an hour. He said "it's a system seller." Any world where SMB/DH is worth more than 99 cents is one I don't wanna live in.

Fuck, I wonder how much Combat carts are worth now?

Game shop + Mario = Mario tax

Remember when Neo Geo was unknown to most people? Thanks youtube.

I'm just glad I bought all my mvs stuff when I did. Prices have gotten out of control since then.

There are a few typos in the article too, lazy stuff.

Universal inflation adjustment is always shaky grounds to discuss prices of an individual sector, consumer electronics have been dropping massively in the last decade or more, when you consider you can pick up a bluray player today for less than the price of a takeout it puts it into perspective.

God knows. They're stories link to all sorts of sites. Some articles even come from al-jezira (sp?")

Yes, most of the good games prices have gotten insane. I guess neo is big all around the world though. We're just one small corner of the neo community.

If big means really small.

It was smaller at one point.
