Best thing about running on a arcade monitor is since they are low-res anyway you won't need a beefy computer to run a 640x480 or 800x600 image

As for why the install takes 10 gigs, don't forget the game has animated 720p cut-scenes, those eat up the HD space fast.

Ugh, I hope you have horsepower to turn the AA up at that low a res. That'll look terrible otherwise.

Woof ... glad I am not a fan of beat-em ups.

Because you can't connect a coinmech to the PC port and have it require tokens to operate and make you money?

Your PC is a machine.
An arcade board is a money making machine and built for that.  There's more to an arcade machine than hardware costs.

Well, duh.  Of course it can make money but arcades are dead in America.  I know that those Galaga/Ms Pacman machines costing $3k really only prob cost about $1k in cost and the rest is profit.

What I'm asking is, does the SF4 arcade machine have really expensive parts or is it all profit to recoup development costs?
