Do you have one of these? Do you use it? I want one but I'm afraid it's going to end up another plastic brick in a drawer.

How are these not getting sued? Especially the fpga must be violating some hardware patents

Remember that one of the few positives the DMCA included was exceptions for interoperability. Also, these pieces of hardware are generally analyzed and reimplemented rather than copied - which steps outside of patents in general, as far as I know (IANAL). Many ship with roms and games included, though, which is generally not allowed in most countries.
