Disgusting. Why the fuck can't they just make them a normal size?

We’re you charged for it? Or did you get a freebie?
I already got one ordered...don’t need two
Well I don’t really, but I will once it gets back in stock at Target. It looks awesome.

It was delivered to my door for the agreeable price of $0.00.
I thought about making it a Mister setup, but I've already got a different cab set up like that. I thought about making it a JVS setup, but finding a way to pass controls to a JVS IO sounds like a pain in the ass.
Also, no way to use proper buttons (read Seimitsu buttons) without heavily modifying the CP.
Not sure what to do Moe... :/

Oh wow nice!
It shouldn’t be too hard to get sanwa sticks and buttons in there...but sounds like you have some other better arcade options there.
If you are dead set against keeping it you’d have no problem selling it Craigslist or something.
I’d happily buy it from you but dragging that big ass box to the post office would be a pain and I don’t want to put you though that

That’s happening to a lot with people, it seems… sounds like they might charge you a month later out of the blue. I don’t have space for it and I’d only play kotr and Puzzle fighter online anyway. Modding buttons involves soldering. No thanks.Oh wow nice!

I caved and bought the Big Blue at Best Buy, i have to wait till Oct though to get it. I used my 10% birthday code, so at least i didn't pay full price. Still this feels like a huge rip off but i want it for the online comp.

Congrats, I think the cab looks great but I think you are going to be very disappointed bud. I mean you got the real deal...you are definitely not their audience. This stuff is for guys like me who are super super casual. I don’t even know how active or competitive the online players will be. But I guess time will tell.
I do like it a lot, but stop short of ordering. I have a few hundred dollars worth of Target gift cards so this would cost me less than $300...but I don’t want to own a ton of these given the space they take up so I think I’m gonna pass until T2 and (the inevitable) Afterburner come out.

Oh wow. Yeah it will probably just be a matter of time until they figure that all out.

It's still sitting in my garage, unopened. I'm just going to have them haul it back. If I get charged later on, I'm not gonna be happy, especially considering I had an actual interaction with their customer service dept to cancel my order.

So you can beat children/drunks online and continue to feel good about yourself?

Best Buy finally shipped out my Big Blue. I must say, i thought it would be a rip off for $600 but i actually have been playing with it. Hyper Fighting net code is great. Lots of other games too play too. Also the competition is surprisingly great. Im thinking of just changing the control panel to a 1player setup w/ the sega layout.

I almost caved and preordered the Killer Instinct cab from Target yesterday. I got approved for one of their credit cards for the extra 5/10/15% off but trying to check out, it wanted my full CC #, which I haven't even gotten lol.
Tried to get through to support like twice, and then figured meh. Tomorrow maybe. Just checked, sold out
Ah well, saved me from myself. No ragerts.

Isn't it a good feeling, though? You want to buy something, and then for whatever reason you can't buy it and then you think oh well who gives a fuck anyway. It's like post-nut clarity

Oh nice, you're ahead of Obliviate - everyone has been talking about how amazing he is. There is a guy who posts matches on Youtube...I am sure some of yours will make it on his channel, lol.
BTW - finally got the monitor mount on my GT Omega set-up so we can use it properly...works great and kids loving all the racing games. Thanks for the recommendation!

You are not 5'11" you fucking dipshit.
Also no one fucking gives a shit if you rank #1 on a game where you are competing with people's 9 year old children
