Japanese 360's arent that hard to find and used units sold whithin communities are quite affordable (easily under 200€ where I am).
You don't have to mod anything, just plug and play.
(maybe a stepdown power adapter depending on where you live. I got an Asian model so I didn't even have to bother with that.)
And the Cave Collection, wich is a GOOD deal for someone who got none of the games, is still available from Solaris-Japan for 233€ + shipping.
There's still Ketsui and/or DOJ to buy separately but unlike PS/MMP for instance those don't go for ridiculous prices.
Got Ketsui for 20€ new.
It's all real and not what I would call a luxury, for the price of a single pcb or kit you get pretty much everything. Just saying.
I stopped reading at the word "used".
Kidding of course, but still. I'll give Steam a whirl first, before throwing the sponge and commit to the JP 360.
You don't really need a JP one at this point unless you need the access to leaderboards/replays. About 2/3 of the releases are region-free, and the rest either have localized EU/NA releases, or are available in MAME.

Now that all the drama has stopped.... I kind of miss it in a I can't sleep even though it's 4 am kinda way.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?
