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

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

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

I'd love to comment but I'll inevitably get flamed for obvious reasons.

So I think "insert appropriate comment here".

do people really buy these things?  even at the reduced price of $800, you are getting a $200 tank stick, and paying $600 for an empty cabinet. 

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. :)
