Very likely getting one. Looks like they've got a solid selection of Amiga all-rounders, not just A500-era stuff.

I'm glad they made a CD32-like controller, too, but why did they have to use that awful PSX-style directional pad? Grumble, grumble.

Definitely going to buy one.
I think it is kinda weird they are calling it THEA500 and the emulation does AGA too.
Cool, but they could have just made it THEA1200

Yeah, I would have preferred a 1200-branded device as well, both for the AGA reason and because I prefer the design of the 1200. But the 500 was more popular and probably elicits more nostalgia so I can understand why they went with that one.

I'd really love to see a CD32 variant, especially if they can slap a real slot-loading drive into it to direct boot original discs...
