The people who are bitching about the price are forgetting one thing: this thing isn’t meant to compete against home consoles like XBOX and PS3. It’s meant to compete against the bar and arcade machines that people bring home to put in their fancy rec rooms, like pool tables, pinball machines and arcade stand-ups, which cost anywhere from $2,000-$10,000.

In that context, the entertainment value proposition is pretty decent. All the hardware is included, and $4,000 divided by 140 games works out to $28.57 per game — not bad at all…

You are all forgetting that this is targeted at the rich and what none of you seem to understand is that when you are that wealthy you don’t care what you spend your money on. Imagine your at the dollar store and you see one of those old water games where you “pump” the water to make the rings land on a cone. Ah, how cute, and only a dollar! You buy it, use twice and set it on the shelf for someone else to do the same. Now, imagine your rich…..you get the idea. Somewhere in India a single mother of two made 70 cents in 1 day and can’t imagine you crazy rich people spending your dollar on a silly game.

I think I’ve made my point.

I doubt even a pub would have such a piece of crap, especially at such a price as $4000 – they’re still businesses, and spending that much for something that’d see so little use and make them little money (if any at all) wouldn’t be a smart move. They’d lose money on this over-priced baby toy.

$4000 for a piece of junk? From the sound of this thing, the graphics might be a match for the SuperNES at best. For all the features, that could explain some of the high price, but how much would a replacement cost if something happened to it? I’d say put a $200 price tag on it if they think it’s such a great system, and see how the other systems still beat them. This thing wouldn’t even be worth $50 from the sound of it.

With a whopping price tag and second rate entertainment value the only people buying this are total suckers with way way too much cash to burn. Nothing this unit will do cant be enjoyed already on far less costly equipment and software. The company responsible for this debauchery should be looking at record losses in the upcoming quarter if for nothing else than trying to screw consumers into purchasing garbage.

If you want to buy junk, go to a garage sale and save yourself $3,990.00. I could only hope that event he obscenely wealthy would look at this for what it is, trash.

Our landfills are already loaded with couldnt cut it second rate slop “gaming” systems and this would just be another one.

I could undstand it as part of a business investment, but in the home? No…

*Thinks of the gaming ‘puter she could buy with that….*

Then again.. might be a good way to gain back some of that allowance the kids get, lol…. ;)
