Saw what appeared to be "Arcade Legends" at Costco...

hatrick:
I saw the same thing at Costco for $1999 and was not impressed. It was way too small, tiny screen at an odd angle and it looked and felt really cheap. The cabinet actually felt like molded plastic rather than wood.
Had something like 80 games on it and was upgradeable to around 200.

Yuck...no thanks  ::)

Big $$$$$$$$

Scott84:
Costco ups a price a maximum 11% (which only can be compared to wal-mart) of what they pay initially for it. The high price is thanks to Mr. Foley.

Crazy Cooter:
Yeah I know.  I like CostCo.  I should have clarified:  the price for what the 200 games would cost = Big $$$$$.  Especially when you start $2k down.

23 game pack = $800  :o

3 game pack (yes... three) = $800  :o

20 game pack = $600

Even the 50 game pack = $400 and is filled with "bloat titles" that would never be played more than twice.

etc, etc.

Compared to www.starroms.com where you can buy all their titles for less than a single game pack.  Plus you wouldn't be working on proprietary hardware.  Much better way to go.

Just noticed a choice thread on their forums too:

It's a must read at so many levels...

LMAO

I like this one too:
