66 euro and they'll ship to Ireland. 2.8" QVGA screen is a tad on the small side but for 66 euro this is simply the greatest thing I have ever seen.

Thats a good gadget for sure. I would definately buy one if my DS couldn't do all that. Its far cheaper though, so I'm sure it will sell well. Screen is a little on the small side though.

DS can run CPS2? A way cheaper nonetheless but the screen is the big con for me; I suppose the 66 euro price tag needs to come from somewhere.

(btw on the DS is there noticeable lag playing Megadrive/SNES/Neo-Geo stuff?)

depends on the emulator you use and also the rom. Some are better than others. But most games work flawlessly.

Last time I tried the only noticeable slowdown on DS was with SNES roms with the sound on. The SNES DSP sound chip is very hard to emulate but hopefully it will be ironed out and less demanding games like mario world work very well.

Damn nice little gadget though. I'll wait for some reviews, if snes emulation is perfect even on the weirder games i'd be tempted at that price.
