This is a humblebrag review of beta hardware with immediate comments attempting to preclude people from having opinions in response because you're not allowed to have thoughts until you're $400 deep. Nothing brings out the especially smug & snide like emulation.
The lack of FPGA is a dealbreaker, especially at that price and with add-ons. I'm not paying a premium for potentially (and likely) flawed emulation, may as well just stick with a raspberry pi or pc.
All I'm really interested in with something like this is the emulation quality, and since the core unit is still system on a chip, it's doubtful this thing will be any better than a retropi or any number of non-fpga systems. I'm not paying $250 for brute force imperfect emulation and some novelty features.

@Deanster101 mother of god. This thing is such a scam.
