also release a dual-player version at E3.

Have you heard of this?

Yes, I sure have. Perhaps you should look at your previous post.

I'll believe it when I see it. Where'd you get that 6 months figure, anyway?

Kremmit:
I'm not looking for a flame war. 

I'm just pointing out that PROTOTYPES we HOPE MAY come out are a little less certain than a commitment from a manufacturer that's already manufactured and sold the product in question. 

As for the Ultimarc product, IIRC, Andy just said he was looking into it.  I've seen too many projects and products on the arcade scent that never got out of vaporware to count on something that's being "looked into", even if it is Andy.

And as for the 6 months, I see that particular verbage now only exists in my quote, above.

Look, folks, I'm not trying to talk anybody into buying something they don't want to buy.  $79 is pretty darn pricey, especially considering the number of games it gets you.  Both of the proposed products sound like they ought to be pretty good, and the gun style is certainly better looking.  I'm buying becasue my wife is really into shooting House of The Dead Zombies, and wants two players.  If I'm going to waste all the time and $$ I'm spending on arcade crap, the least I can do is spend some of it on a game she wants to play.  I don't want to miss what could be my only chance at a pair of working guns.  If you don't NEED guns, and prefer to wait and see if one of the other products comes to market, fine by me.

My only purpose in answering your question was to say where the 6 month time frame came from.

Personally, I would consider the Act Labs gun simply because it does not look like the real thing. My own opinion is that I want a gun that looks like a toy because I have 3 kids. I want them to respect firearms and not associate them with toys. Hopefully, if they do come into contact or possession of a real gun, they would be able to tell the difference and not play with it. There's a lot more that goes into that kind of an argument than I am writing here but it's just my preferrence.

I haven't purchased one yet and at $79 may not. At $30 I was considering the purchase but by the time I got around to it they were sold out. If my wife were to develop an interest in House of the Dead I would most likely jump on whatever was available.

There are actually a good number of games supported by the light guns.
This number grows even more if you include the games from Digital Leisure, and makes the gun worth the cost to me.

I would suspect the price on any new gun coming to market will likely be considerably higher than the $35-40 that Act Labs was previously charging.
MajorLag:
Just pre-ordered mine. I've wanted a couple of ACT LAbs guns for a while now, but couldn't justify the E-Bay price. Alas, I can only afford one at the moment. If this is a joke, then someone at ACT Labs will die for it.
