Depends. Apparently much of their repro art isn't even properly color calibrated against the original artwork. You get stuff like browns coming out black, etc. So that alone would make me think twice about what they'll teach on that video. Maybe it's worth it as a starting point.

Judging by their description, I'd say no.  I don't see them offering anything that can't be found with a google search.  It looks like a How-to on using photoshop.

I have heard a lot of people bashing classic arcade grafix, but in sent them a file that i modified from the Arcade Art Library and it came out really nice and went on perfectly.  I gave them the exact dimensions i needed and i got it within 1/16th of an inch, also it was pretty reasonable price.  look at the photos, this machine originally had the blue and pink sticker for jr. pac, i modified the blue and pink to yellow and orange to match the pacman machine.(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/desertbloom1/DSCF0123.jpg)

I am not sure how there stuff is, but i was very happy with my custom file, i think i paid about $45.00 for it.  By the way, dont you think that they should have made it this color combo to begin with?
