Found the My Arcade Atari Gamestation Pro for deep discount at my Costco for ~$30 in the Atlanta Metro yesterday evening. Reviews are mixed, but for the price you can load a ton of ROMs on this thing with a SD card.
It was in the seasonal blow-out area with the remaining video games and some toys, very much YMMV.

No search function yet, so that's a downside... but should be fun to play with for $30.

Initial impression:
The emulation works well and the Atari game selection is fine, but I plan on adding tons of more ROMs on an SD card too. It plays MAME, NES, SNES and more systems out of the box with no modding needed.
I didn't experience any problems with controller lag, it works fine, but I'm just not a fan of the ergonomics of the joystick. It's not terrible but I don't love it. I have read you can hook up modern controllers though so I will test that out.
I'll be playing around with it more this weekend. For $30 it appears to be well worth tinkering with.
Edit: I'm assuming that you're going to ditch the joysticks because of the lag mentioned in the above post. If you keep the joystick then sure it's not a bad deal I suppose. Especially if you could reuse those joysticks in a countercade.

The My Arcade Atari Gamestation Pro (Item 1757619) falls short of expectations. The controller is flimsy, buttons often stick, and navigating the menu is a frustrating experience. The selection of preloaded games is limited, and the graphics and sound quality are disappointingly outdated. Overall, it's a subpar gaming console that doesn't deliver the nostalgic Atari experience it promises.
