I imported one of these and I don't regret it at all. Gameplay is true to original and there is zero input lag when connected to a CRT television. I did experience lag on my HDTV via HDMI but it could be the TV not the console. Also, certain games look really bad when scrolling horizontally due to the scaler not taking into account that resolution mode. I have not noticed it being an issue on the CRT though. One more thing – the included controller is FANTASTIC. In fact it's better than an official six button controller. Overall, I highly recommend for CRT users but I'd think carefully before purchasing for the HDMI output.
