If your buying a ps3 just to dump in a cab why wouldnt you just buy a blu ray dvd rom for the PC and hook it up like a mame cab?

Well the blue-ray version works like a dream. I've tried the PC versions and they never seemed to work that well. I did look into buying a blue-ray drive for my PC but they seemed to be very high in price.

I think Digital Leisure did release an HD version of Dragon's Lair that does play in a regular DVD drive for the PC. I should probably look into that before hacking a PS3 controller, shouldn't I?

Thanks everyone for the responses.

It all depends how much you like the game.  Also it depends if you are rich enough to place a perfectly good PS3 in a wooden box just to play Dragon's Lair.

How many times are you going to play this game in the cabinet?  Daily?

If it were me, I would just put the PS3 under the TV and pretend you are in the arcade.  Then when the feeling takes you to play Warhawk or Motorstorm you won't look like a dork playing it on a Dragon's Lair machine.

IMHO.

You made me laugh too. I'm actually pretty hard core about it. I'd buy the original arcade if I wasn't so worried about it breaking down all the time. It's for my game room so I'm definitely looking to put it in a cabinet. I'm going to buy all the side art, marquee, control panel. But I think I'm definitely going to go with the PC version instead of the blue-ray. It just seems to make more sense all around.

So what monitor do you guys recommend?
ark_ader:
Has to be a CRT and you can pick up one pretty cheaply now.

I'm not a purist but I like Bluth on CRT.  LCD doesn't cut it.

Make a nice everything cab and put a big TV into it.

Nothing better than having a big screen in a cab.  Have you seen the attempts to put a small screen in a big cab?  :dizzy:  Ewwwww!

The slim line arcade cabs seen to be the popular choices today, or you can have a cool cocktail in the corner....
