Greetings, all! A friend of mine recently sold me his AES, and while I'm off to a good start, and I hope I wasn't hosed because he knew how badly I wanted it (He sold me the console, 2 controllers, World Heroes 2, Fatal Fury 2, Fatal Fury Special, Samurai Shodown, Samurai Shodown II, KoF '96, KoF '97 and Art of Fighting 2 all with cases and books for 500$) I naturally want to get the most out of enjoying/collecting for it.
That said, as I look at AES cart prices more seriously (Been an NGCD only collector till now) I'm finding the prices range anywhere from reasonable, to seriously horrifying. Is this a case of people just overcharging and I'm looking in the wrong places, or am I just in too much shock after being used to paying NGCD prices? I also looked at MVS converters. A bit of an investment for a good one on the frontend, but MVS carts look so much more attractive in terms of my wallet. In the long run, would it be better off just waiting for reasonable sales on certain titles, or getting a converter and using MVS carts? I thought about getting an AES Multicart, but I'm really not feeling that idea, it doesn't seem much better than just using my NGX and a modded SD card.
