Yes, some games are £500+, but not all - and not all the good ones either. MVS is still the better option (I'd never be able to afford Blazing Star on AES, but I've had the MVS cart for a good while now), but a decent AES collection isn't impossible.

As for superguns, etc - please take a look at the blog post I mentioned earlier in this topic ^^~ http://shinjuforest.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/demystifying-arcade-hardware.html

That was a very interesting read. So generally what you need is the MVS cart, the supergun, a powersupply for the supergun (unless it includes some sort of power), video cable, and controllers (unless the supergun is built into a controller deck). Pretty cool stuff! I think after the holidays I might buy a supergun then start looking into the rest of the parts over time.

I love the fact that MVS carts have all languages on it and the motherboard BIOS controls what's displayed. That's very cool.

There's one important thing you missed there - an MVS motherboard for the MVS carts to go into! But other than that you're right :)

Sorry, in my head I considered those as a part that's with the game lol. I guess that's probably not the case though. You just need one MVS motherboard per each type you're using? Then the games are interchangeable that work with that motherboard. I did miss that point now that I think about it lol.

kimimi:
You buy one motherboard then plug the games into it - just like you'd buy a SNES and then buy SNES games to plug into it - it's no more complicated than that for MVS games.

Makes sense! I did forget that part though. Thanks for clarifying! Your blog was awesome btw. The pictures definitely helped.
