Love the way people keep on talking about "pulling the trigger" on these things, and similar phrases, as though they are going to blow their load all over it. Come to think of it, that might be the most fun you'll have with it.

Topeka Kansas Walmart dropped them all the way down to $75

Probably the most fun part of the A1UP launch has been watching the people on their facebook group. There are a fair amount of posts on there that are like the one I attached. There are a fair amount of people who are having quality control issues. There is a good amount of modding going on. Lots of the A1UP users are just catching the classic arcade bug.
Really though, I'm surprised by the number of folks who are just now learning you can play more than 1 game on a machine. I know all of us have been approached by people who wanted to buy our cabinets, but then they were surprised to find out it cost more than 50 bucks. That's true even with these. Some people think they should be $40-$50 and others are think they could've be sold at a higher price.
It seems as if the future for A1UP doesn't look so bright. Stores clearing them out before the Christmas season is over doesn't look good and it's definitely impacting those early adopters who went in at full price.

I dont think they made it over the pond to us, Never seen one advertised or anything.
They dont tend to convert prices over here so they would still try to shift em at £300 no doubt but they would not sell at that price, £200 maybe but I would only be interested in the £100 mark and then it would be as a project cabaret cabinet.
I like the size and from what I have seen the actual body work is ok so in my mind for £100 it would be worth it for the shell, Then I would probably gut it and stick something else in there with better controls.
Otherwise really not interested.

They are available in the UK at Smyths Toys, Very, and Argos. Maybe others. Smyths seem to be out of stock at the moment though, as I believe they have it at the cheapest price - £300!
