    that's a really good price for XRB-3.
    I had one and was using Neo Geo AES on lcd monitor but it didn't look good at all, then again, I've never updated the firmware so maybe that's why.

    Doesn't seem that great, i'm sure I saw one on ebay that went for £100, mind you it might have been an earlier one.

    that probably was xrgb-2, I saw people asking over $400-$450 for 3's.
    I sold mine for $300(they retailed for that) few months ago to a buyer from germany, they've been discontinued for almost a year right now,
    since it's been a while they might very well release 4's soon, you could snag them for retail price without overpaying.
    I have XRGB-1 and it does handle everything very well.

    Lol, that would be me. Still running great! :thumbsup:

    Odd, I have all my retro stuff hooked up via xrgbs (even the ps3 via the xrgb-3 when the wifey is occupying the tv) and picture looks great. Imho you won't find any other upscan converter in this price range with equal quality.

    Don't know how fast you need one and I might state the obvious here but they do pop up on ebay every now and again.

    :lol: indeed ^^
    I'm glad you like it :icon_bigg, I saw people charging lot more right now for them than when they got released(probably due to obsolete status).
    cheers!

    Out of curiousity, is the XRGB-3 as easy to modify from 21-pin Jap RGB to SCART as the XRGB-2? In the -2 you just had to move a bunch of soldered jumpers to swap it over, I bought a 2+ and it's a much trickier job ;-)

    They pop up on Yahoo Japan from time to time. I got an XRGB-2 complete for 17,000 recently. One finished w/o the box for about 7500 a few weeks ago. A steal.

    If I can get someone to make me the proper converter soon, I'll be selling mine, but I don't expect to have one in the next few weeks. :(

    I have a Micomsoft XRGB-2+ with high quality PS1/PS2 cable, power adaptor, manual, s-video cable, component video cable, and component to d-terminal adaptor. It's in great physical and functional condition. I don't have the box.

    I really only want to trade, not sell, and am looking for game copiers. I am mostly looking for an MGD2 disk drive with SRAM cable, MGD2 gameboy I/O, MGD2 Neo Geo I/O, Bung Gameboy XChanger, or 4-slot MVS board with Unibios, and RGB output (I wanna be able to connect this to my RGB monitor). Also looking for pretty much any other game copiers/backup units.

    let me know

    Unfortunately the newer the xrgb the less I can use it.

    What model would you prefer? (Presuming you're still interested). I'm going to Akiba tomorrow for a mosey, so I can keep an eye out if you wish. A rough price would be helpful too.
