No offense Taken. I agree that everyone needs to make a profit. I even stated that in my post. It just seems that the price for this cart and with all the delays and problems people have been having with !Arcade! seems to be somewhat more then the average person may want to bear.

Oh erll, people are going to believe in what they want to.

A vacation is in order. LWK you game for a cruise <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0"></STRONG>

Heck yeah, bring it on.
Bored as hell. Neo hobby, eats that wallet like nothing else.
Ya know?
I am cool for any kind of vacation.

As long as there is alcohol in any form. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

I seriously would like to know exactly what it is his company does that he has these resources. It just strikes me as somewhat odd that he would just take on this financially battering project for fun.</STRONG>

If I remember correctly, his company (or the company that he works for) has other principle products/services and he is using the resources for a side project in producing Neo Geo related items. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

LOL, you answered yourself.
Printing Press.

I don't think you guys even comprehend how much $$$ you will make by owning one .

There extremly expensive, need very skilled labor, & their not worth owning unless you run them a hell of a lot.
IE. when the pressmen goes home for the day, the next shift takes his place.

Press time is so valuable, that if your job is late,
& a press has to "hold for you"
You dont even wanna know how much time they can charge back.
Ive seen 1K Jobs get 15K chargebacks damn quick,.
Time is money, Press time is big money.

You may not believe it, But I know guys that make soo much $$$ running print jobs, that if they were printing 1 dollar bills, over the same time, the'd probably make less cash.

Printing is kick ass, if your an owner.
Its just another trade skill, decent paying job for those of us workin em.
Damn, I want a press for xmas <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Let me put it too u like this, one busy press,
can make its owners millionares, & still easily cover the paychecks of another 50 people working to keep it busy.
2 presses, & god, your making a mint.

Plenty of spare $$$ to have any hobby you want.
As long as you dont let your competition snake your salesmen from under you. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
Extremly cut throat & competitive business.

Really? Now I know, and knowing is half the battle!

Seriously, I was just wondering. Now that I know I have no problems.

I got rid of my cabinet due to financial reasons several months ago but my situation has changed. Now, instead of searching for another good clean cab, I have decided to just purchase conversions where possible and get a converter/AES2 for the rest.

Just because a person is willing to pay $400 for a high quality game that they like, please don't assume that they are just a collector.

Hi James,

I never said that gamers have no money. I do maintain that the game being offered is more of a collector's item. It has nothing to do with having the money. Me, I can afford it but I'll pass thank you very much. Why? Because I buy games that are fun to play and are worth the asking price. Strikers is just not worth $399 when one looks at the game in terms of game play, design and originality. That's just my opinion. Frankly, I think that $100 for the MVS version was too much.

Speaking of the AES2 ... if one comes out and it is all that is is rumored to be and if the price is not too high I'll get one.
