Assuming 50 cents per game, they would need over 5,000 credits just to break even on the individual unit! (Doesn't include electricity, shipping etc.)  People pay 50 cents for Space Invaders?

Talk about ridiculous!  I guess they are going after the 'collector' market. haha

Of course......ride the nostalgia wave.  I just think it skind of funny that in this day and age, they'll release this retro game.....ONE game mind you, sell it for close to 3 grand, all built upon technology that is 10 years behind the average disposable Wal-Mart digital watch :)

They completely misunderstand the American market (if not the Retrogaming market).

I look forward to buying one of these cabs ten years from now for a whole lot less Yen.
