Does the $799 include the arcade monitor? Cause if not then I don't think it's really "commercial grade".

Nope. That's without monitor. They want $425(!) for it. So their price with the monitor is $1224.95 - yikes.

So I think "insert appropriate comment here".

i have no problem with their controllers, but their cabinet deals are just a rip off

People will pay high prices for convienance and that includes having the work done for them. I saw a commercial for a company selling microwavable bags of preboiled potatos, so you nuke'em, then put'em in a bowl, then mash them. At a much higher cost than a simple 10lb bag of tatters that you'd peel and cook yourself.

Remember, 'Everything is worth what it's purchaser will pay for it.' Just don't forget 'A penny saved is a penny earned' at the same time. :)
