I like it and it's cheaper than I'd expect.  I just wish there was more animation.

 ;)  Okay, I'm nitpicking.  It only has a one second loop going, though!

I've been helping a buddy build his cab, and I was thinking I'd get him an arcade related shirt when it's completed.

That shirt is friggin perfect.

Washing Instructions

1. Carefully peel animated decal from front of T-Shirt
2. Unplug ribbon connector behind decal and remove decal
3. Unplug battery pack and remove it
4. You can leave the ribbon cable inside the shirt
5. Machine wash gentle cycle on cold
6. Hang to dry

I don't even separate my reds or whites.

Would be interesting to see the animation on say Jessica Simpson (size S of course).

Far too much things to remember:

What happens when your wife forgets to remove all of that?  Hell, who would want to do that themselves?  Off and on every single time you washed it?

Also, don't ever go to a theme park with that on, and ride a water-themed attraction.

Watch the weather in the morning.  If it's not raining in the morning, and it will later, don't be caught off guard so that you can take a jacket/coat.

Too much trouble in my opinion for anything other than hanging on a wall or something.  I believe this to be one of those ideas that looked absolutely sweet on paper, but no one had half a brain to think of the negatives.

I do my own laundry, and I'm buying one. I think it's cool.

Indeed it is!

But is it practical?  Not even close, I think.  Good luck.  And let us know if/when your shirt breaks/malfunctions. :)

I never thought those words would be put together in the same sentence. ;)
