Not surprised by this. I've been looking into embedded PC/Jamma boards recently and so has Pixelcorps. It seems XPe is a real bear to work with but at a price of little to no conversion costs for PC titles. These boards seem to be getting cheaper, but with constant changes in CPU and supporting chipsets, it seems we are still aways from a "standard". I'd also like to see a move away from XPe but fat chance in that happening.

Can't wait for AH2+board to fall below $1,000. When it does, I am snapping one.

Yeah, I am waiting for AH2 cart's price to drop a bit too.

Currently, it's 281'000yen at Mak Japan. I am not sure about the EX-Board Hardware price... do you have an idea?

AH2 + Ex-board under 200'000yen, and it's under my TV the next day!

Also, does somebody know about other games to be developed for this board?
EDIT: nevermind, I found the link on this very site. ^^
