Black Friday deals...

If you want the new model get the VR with Skyrim
It's on sale too -$100. B&H doesnt charge tax if you are not in NY/NJ.
The Doom VR bundle has the new VR as well but I am not sure when that bundle is coming out.
GT Sport's VR is pretty weak. You can't play online with that and it's only a 2 car race. Just you and the cpu in arcade mode.

Theatrical or Extended versions? Still a good deal either way.

This is 100% accurate. It is cool for a few races to check out the cars, but otherwise, there isn't much to do with it.
Pretty underwhelmed by the game in general because of you are pretty much forced to race online and I preferred just racing against AI. (Never been one that has enjoyed online gaming all that much.)
I am interested in checking out Skyrim on the VR though. I enjoy my good old model. It will never wow you graphically, but it is still a lot of fun.

Jamma Nation X is having a Black Friday sale. Just picked up a "Shift" (let's you re-assign the buttons on your Neo CD pad) for $5.
Edit: I checked out the NeoSD on SAG, but I think it's really tacky how they put their own branding all over other people's products.

The price after shipping was $9 more at SAG because I selected the case/slipcover for the Turbo EverDrive, which Retrogate doesn't offer. Everything else was the same when I selected similar options.
I went with SAG because I didn't like the case options at Retrogate (like the black Super Famicom case for the SD2SNES, blech) and the lack of the aforementioned Turbo EverDrive case.

They do it with all of their flashcarts they sell. They are nothing more than a reseller.

They're charging the same price as krikzz.com, which they could only do if they were getting EverDrives for less than retail, and I'm assuming that can only happen if they source them from krikzz at a discount. Looks like Retrogate is doing the same thing; all the cart labels have both the krikzz and SAG/Retrogate branding, and the pricing is all pretty much the same. SAG offers more customization options, though.
Pretty sure it's legit.

I think SAG is legit. And I do think that SAG works with neosd.

Stone Age Gamer have been around doing this sorta thingy for a while... seriously doubt if it's a scam...
They were the guys to get the US distribution of the Neosd device...
Anyway, on Topic... I brought NOTHING on the Black Friday sales...

SAG is totally legit. I just think it's tacky that they take someone else's work, design a label for it, and think that earns them the right to put their branding on the product alongside the people who actually made the thing.

Hmmm, I never thought of it that way. I always liked the way SAG Dolled up Krikzz's and now NeoSd's products. I Prefer to have something with a Nice Label and Case over something Loose. I also verified that all my Sag Flash Carts Show the Krikzz and TerraOnion Logo on the Front Label. So Sag want's to put their name out there for advertising purposes, what's the big deal?
I'm pretty sure TerraOnion and Krikzz are happy that there carts sell well through Sag. Everyone is making money.

They charge to add their branding, luckily for us they probably lose out on that profit on their black Friday sale.
It is all legit, still have to go through Terraonion for updates, and to register the NeoSD.
I've been thinking of getting SD2SNES for a long time now, but I was waiting for them to add Super FX support, which was promised from the start. I wouldn't want to shell out for a cartridge, just to see a Mark 2 version get released, with more powerful guts. Also, do I really need it? Decisions decisions ...

I doubt they've "pulled anything" at all, other than what is probably a legit licensing deal with krikzz that entitles them to add their own labels. The comparisons to Dion and Chris seem especially out of line considering you don't know the details.
In keeping with the thread, I picked up a pair of Audioengine A2+ speakers in red for my retro gaming setup. Should look cool next to my PVM-20L5. I was considering picking up a 65" LG OLED, but I think I might wait until after the holidays to save a bit more. Not in a rush.

Maybe the SAG branding on the cart helps them identify their product for warranty/returns?

The cool thing about the SD2Dnes is that it could play all 3 Mega Man X games unlike the others that only play the first one. Not many Superfx games that I care for other than Kirby but I understand your hesitation since it is pricier Snes flash cart.
