Too lazy to look but I think that gameliquidation still has the same item for around the 60 dollar price point.

Edit:I guess I'm not that lazy. Gameliquidation.com is selling this for $59 and change with free Priority Shipping.

That's a pretty good deal. The console itself goes around $60 I believe, and the games are about $5-$10 each.

It would be an even better deal if I had $80 to burn.

Actually, I do not believe the NGPC are worth that much at all. I can usually snag em for about 20-25 bucks or so off ebay.

these 6 games are going for 6-12.00 each on ebay right now.

i wonder if the price of them will die down after 100 people put them up on ebay.

either way 60 dollars is a great deal.

is the screen the same as a GBA screen? Hard to see etc ?
or is it backlit?

I think I saw this same bundle, in the same packaging, at Fry's. it went for $80.

By the way, why is there no "Neo Geo" on the packaging? "Pocket Color Arcade" makes it sound like some cheap As Seen on TV thing.

I picked up just the system for $30 off Amazon a few days ago. It's worth it just to play Card Fighters Clash.

Its a good deal but dont expect a sudden spree of these on EBay...that already happened.

http://www.mashmods.com is talking about doing lighting mods for NGPC like the afterburner. I got mine from Game Stop in a similar packaging distributed by http://eplayplay.com for about the same price.

I think the only thing that bothered me was that the individual games didn't have instructions but the system itself did and the games came with the plastic protective cases.

And someone mentioned it before but the systems are regularly going for about 25 bucks alone, but the games WITH instructions are a bit harder to find. The games all seem to go for about 10 dollars or more so you're technically getting the NGCP for FREE.

This deal is even HOTTER. I just remembered reading in another post about a coupon for GameLiquidation and NGPC stuff. 15offneonow gives 15 % off. Credit goes to the other NGPC post in the Request forum.

I just had to pull the trigger for a deal a smidge over $50 delivered.

Twice I've added this to my cart and twice I didn't click the "confirm" button because I'm not sure it's worth buying. Is the Neo Geo worth buying if one already has a GBA or GBA-SP? For those of you who have both Neo Geo and GBA, would you recommend both? And if so, why? If not, why not?

Apparently I can't make decisions for myself.

From the time the amazon deal for the NGPC was posted I have been debating the same issue. I am quite happy with my GBA SP but this deal every time I see it its like calling to me. This site is great for getting you deals but dam I'm runing out of money . ](*,)

Gameliquidation also has an AC adaptor that works with both Neo Geo Pocket and GBC for only 5.99.

Sonic is excellent on the NGPC. It takes a lot of the same level designs as Sonic 2 for Genesis but with original levels.

About whether or not it is worth it if someone already has a GBA/SP. I'm not really sure. The NGPC has some great games but there aren't a wide variety of games. If you like 2D Fighters and Puzzle games and just 2D gaming overall I think it's worth it.

I brought the system from Toys R Us a few weeks ago that came bundled with Sonic and so far, that's the only game I have for the system. I'm having trouble coming up with other games to get because I don't like 2D fighter and I already have quite a few puzzle games on Game Boy Color and Advance.

Metal Slug series is enough for me. I was one of the early adopters to the Neo Geo AES home unit, and I got this even though I am not a huge 2-d fighting fan. But the Metal Slug series is enough for me. Think old-school Contra but much more fun and funnier. And with this deal for the cost of a mediocre current generation game, I just couldn't pass on it again. Yes, even though now of us pay $50 now that we are all CAG, but still. It's a deal and a half.

If you like to collect old school gaming it is, I got the $30 unit with Sonic, don't play it much cause I'm so busy, but it feels good, love the joystick on it, with Nintendo would do it on the next GBA, thinking of this deal for the games, my only regret is I can't seem to get any deals from major stores/sites since the system is DOA.

I bought one of these suckers back when they were new for about $80+ just for the system alone. I also picked up Puzzle Link 2 and Cardfighters Clash SNK edition. I really like this little portable quite a bit...so much in fact that I just purchased the bundle. And yes, I have a GBASP as well.

03-18-2004, 08:04 PM
Thunderscope, are you sure it was Priority Mail? Did you pay $3.85 for shipping? They ship for free via media mail (free shipping is nice even if it's slower), but I think you have to pay if you want expedited mail. They charge $3.85 for it, which is surprising since that's what it actually costs to send things via Priority. Most companies would add on a few extra bucks to that fee.

lurknomore
03-18-2004, 08:25 PM
If you look at their web-site, after some time over the weekend, the free priority delivery only applied to the purchase of the unit with 6 games package and the concurrent purchase of a NGPC 4 game pack. This is clearly on the web-site. I imagine that after the posting here at CAG, that the overload of orders for the system has forced them to make the adjustment.

That's some crazy bull right there, I ordered the NGPC system plus some extra games, so intead of them sending the system priority (LIKE PROMISED) and everything else Media, the WHOLE thing comes as Media Mail now....

I am not defending them, but just go look at the web-site. It is clear that they made the change for the Priority service. If it explicitly said otherwise when you made your purchase, I would give them a call...but otherwise, you are SOL and you should learn to read everything carefully before pressing the "send" button. It doesn't matter what is written here as merchants may change "deals" at their discretion as long as they are explicit in doing such.

Yep, Thunderscope is right. Even though another page says the bundle AND an expansion pack must be purchased together, this isn't indicated on the page for the bundle. I did send email to the guy who runs the site asking what's up and I let him know that some CAG folks were upset.

I ordered the bundle plus *2* expansion packs in one order and still got media mail according to my transaction's description. Bummer. :(

Hey loserboy, when you do your follow-up post about the customer service, can you let us know what your shipping method was? Was yours sent Priority Mail or media mail? You said you got yours fast, so I'm curious as to what shipping method he used to send them. Thx.

Yep, exactly.

I expected free priority mail on JUST the bundle, since that's what was implied, and that the rest of the games in the order would most likely ship seperately. Instead, I got media mail for the entire thing, which is NOT what is on that webpage.

Not sure if mine was Media Mail or not. I got it very quickly, but nowhere on the envelope did it say what sort of mail it was. As for the postage amount, it was done with some sort of e-stamp or stamp.com or some other sort of electronic stamp so I can't tell how much...

I've e-mailed them twice now. Once yesterday, once today, still no answer. Hoping to be able to swap the game they mistakenly sent me for the game I ordered.

BTW Puzzle Link 2 is a freakin' blast.

03-22-2004, 07:56 PM
The system alon goes for about $30 around the web and shipping ranges from $5-10 so its better off to just get this bundle. the fighting games are great, give them a chance...

03-26-2004, 12:36 AM
I guess this is a little off-topic, but I ordered the bundle along with the ac adaptor they had listed (very fast service - I was impressed). But when I try to use the adaptor, the battery light starts blinking and it tells me that the backup battery is low and needs to be replaced. Is this adaptor really compatible with the NGPC (like it says on the package), or is there something wrong with it or the Neo Geo. Has anyone else had this problem?

YoshiFan1
03-26-2004, 12:46 AM
Did you put the little round silver battery in the system (the one that goes in the compartment that you need a coin to open)?

_heretic
03-26-2004, 04:57 AM
Yeah, I got it to work on batteries, and I have both the lithium and the dry cell batteries in. But when I try to use the AC adaptor, it will go through the Neo Geo screen, then the battery light starts blinking. Then there is a screen saying that the lithium battery needs to be replaced, and then it shuts itself off.

I order the neogeo pocket plus both expansion game paks and should have gotten the Priority shipping. The package arrived yesterday (over a week from the order date,) and it said it was shipped "Media Mail." I've since emailed gameliquidation and per his reply, the media mail shipping was an accident. He gave me a $10 credit for my trouble. Anyone who order the neogeo and an expansion set and didn't get their priority shipping should really email them.
