I love seeing new products for classic gamers, especially that use newer technology to deliver the experience though like others not to sure about the price. IF it delivers all it promises I may consider it at some point.
The price is definitely a limiting factor and that is pretty much stopping me in my tracks as well, but from what I've seen, programmable FPGA devices have never been cheap, and in actuality, for all this offers (even if it's straight C-64 at this point), the price is actually quite competitive. Consider the price of say, a real Commodore 64, s-video cable, and a 1541 Ultimate II with SD card, and you're actually already in the ballpark of this, particularly if you're a US buyer. However, as this adds systems to the mix, as you say, it suddenly becomes VERY interesting, even for those of us with the real systems.
