The Arcade Table brings overpriced mod design and retro gaming to your living room

We're all about the retro gaming around these parts, and a nice bit of mod design never fails to get us going, but combining the two and throwing them into this Arcade Table merely serves to remind us of our Missle Command ineptitude and the neck spasms we suffered from hours spent awkwardly hunched over a table. The $3200 pricetag doesn't help its cause, though there are 150 games included, so if you've gotta have your retro fix, this seems like a good way to go.

Um... Do you have to break you wrist to play this or how does that work?

Or you could just get a 40" plasma, a slim PC with an entire MAME library and put it in an IKEA table with some fixin's...and save yourself some dough and respect.

You can get more ergonomically-crafted cocktail-style units on eBay for roughly half that amount. Methinks somebody picked that MSRP out of a hat if they think a unit at that price will move briskly.

What is that in there, a 9" monitor?

Put a 32" LCD in that thing and we'll talk.

"What is that in there, a 9" monitor?"

Seriously, what is that crap? For $3200 I'd expect a 21" flat-screen CRT, at least. That's some sort of 12" Sanyo in there ...

OK obviously you guys are too young to remember the originals. Yes the screens were small and your back would kill you after a few hours of hunching over the table to actually see what you were playing. But on the other hand, you could set your coke and burger on it. For some reason that's just kind of cool to me.

Still.... I'm with #2. Let's see something with some real specs.
