I have just ordered one of these. It will make compiling a nice 2600 library much cheaper. However it will pay dividends as the homebrew scene is really taking off now and the ROMS are usually available.
Anyone else getting one / has got one??
Yeah, even though it costs more (naturally), I found the deluxe version worth it to reduce hassle. After all, that's the primary purpose of the device, right, to reduce hassle?

This has been something I've been looking for since I missed the original Cuttle Cartridge which was pretty expensive back in the day.
I understand the deluxe edition has software on board as well as an SD card and usb cable?
That is correct, FROM THE SITE:
The standard edition includes just the cartridge and a plain paper manual. You supply your own SD card and USB-mini B cable for programming and BIOS updates.
The deluxe edition includes a color printed manual, a USB-mini B cable, and a 2GB SD card loaded with the programming software, drivers, online manual and homebrew games that you are encouraged to try such that you may one day purchase them from the AtariAge store.

I'm very close to Canada myself (St. Cloud, MN). Ontario is just north of me.
I'm thinking about getting one...

Oh man I am so bad, out of work, broke, but just ordered a Harmony Cart Deluxe shipped to Canada. Well, I did not want to miss my opportunity, I have heard too many good things about it................

I have a deluxe version. This goes hand-in-hand with my 7800 Cuttle Cart that also obviously handles 2600 games. I love this kind of stuff. I was recently messing around with my 128-in-1 Atari 5200 USB flash cart (I also have the Coleco one) and was so thrilled with how smoothly it all worked (they even had 64-bit drivers for my Windows 7 system!). Some homebrew stuff seems just too good to be true sometimes, it's so nice.
