They have one of these in the Starburst Coin showroom in Toronto.  I think it was selling for $2000 CDN.

Before you (or your brother in law) buy one, you better go out and see one in an arcade or something. I took several pictures of one (hunting for Galaga artwork) and I thought it was the worst looking cab I ever saw. The screen is too big (which I found makes it hard to play the game) and the artwork is really poorly done (very coarse halftoned print).

Jeeesh, haven't you guys ever seen these? They have been available for over 4 years.

Another difference is that they have an over sized monitor. 25" I believe.

I saw one at a movie theater here and the first thing I noticed was that it looks like the artwork was scanned from some previously existing printed artwork, which always looks crappy. (hard not to get a moir

These are official Namco releases. They do NOT shoot faster or play different in any way except that you can continue your game after you die.

They do NOT have stickers of coin doors. They have real coin doors. These are Namco cabinets. The reason that they sell for so much is because when put on location they make money, plus they are a hell of alot more reliable than the originals.

You guys do know that original Pac-Man cabinets used to sell for close to $3000 when new. Right? And that is in 1980 dollars!

Based on inflation, the reliability factor, and the fact that it's three games in one, it's actually a reasonable price.(cough)
