PLAION led me to the real deal. Good riddance.

After the whole PLAION bullshit yesterday I decided that I really was in love with the idea of a 1:1 AES but not really motivated into supporting a company that failed so hard in the communication and customer relationship (still no email about the whole situation to people who spent 1000+$ on their website btw).

The fake limited editions storytelling with infinite preorder despite the fact that they absolutely can't meet the demand for now and the fact that the preorders are still open is even more absurd .

I then realized that I don't give a damn about this company and that i'm just in love with the system and games.

Decided to cancel my Ultimate scam edition and went for an original AES from a trusted long term seller a friend of mine knew from a few years ago with box and serial matching .

Added 3 original MVS versions of Metal Slug, Garou and Kof22 with recreated AES packaging and visuals.

Cost me bit more than the Ultimate (1550€) but it feels so much better that I now wonder why I didn't go for this route straight up. The vintage MVS carts looks glorious.

Everything works like a charm.

Long live the Neo Geo.

Never pre ordering again to people who pray on nostalgia.
