Maybe you get the software upgrade for $70 if you buy it with the board, but $80 later? Maybe this is a launch day promotion? There are no details as to why the upgrade is cheaper than advertised, but I’ll update the post again if there’s more info. Next, it appears that if you buy the “shiny” upgrade now, it’s a $70 upgrade charge, not $80. These are $25 for the PS1 and $20 for all other consoles, making the base board price actually $120 or $125. All info above is correct, but let’s go over pricing…įirst, while the base board is listed at $99, in order to actually install it, you’ll need to purchase a kit. POST UPDATED 07/22: This post was fully re-written after the boards went live, to clarify pricing and features. Pre-order here with shipping expected by September: The Retro Gem is compatible with many PlayStation 2 revisions at launch, however considering that console’s library is 99% 480i, you’ll really want to buy the full version for that one. All other features – including 1080p and motion adaptive deinterlacing – will require the upgrade. The standard edition can output from 240p to 720p with bob deinterlacing for 480i content. The cost for the hardware starts at $120 for the base kit, however you’ll need to spend a total of about $190 to include the software upgrade they’re calling the “shiny edition”. This one HDMI board will work with multiple consoles, similar to Fixel’s HDMI board announced last year. Pixel FX have just opened orders on their new internal HDMI mod board called the Retro G.E.M.
