The one chip MSX, a MSX implementation on a FPGA cost 229 euro

So the price is the same as other old computers FPGA implementations


You forget one thing: Despite their propaganda all over the internets, Bazix does not sell 1ChipMSX'es. There isn't even a 'European 1ChipMSX' in sight. They might actually deliver on their promises from the past few years in a few more months though, but I think most people who really want one already do - I got mine via a fellow MSX user who went to Japan. Damage: 200 euro (incl shipping).

On Topic:

I like the idea of a A500 in FPGA - the small form factor, the ability to load ADF's from SD card, the 'HOW COOL IS THIS?!'-factor, etc. I might buy one in the future, but not for 226 euro...
