How cool would it be to own one of these?

Yeah.. but how cool would it be to have to buy it again every year?

I wouldn't be greedy and buy the updates every year. I would have the same rosters for forever. Man, if I had money to piss away, this would get it.

id rather have a virtual on, 2 player machine with the twin sticks and what-not

A few of the local bars around here have those. Graphics aren't any better than the current console versions.

I've played on one of those at Dave and Buster. Pretty cool to play with a joystick.

Save yourself some cash and just get a Mame cabinet with the x-arcrade sticks and then just add your xbox or ps2.

Well, you know I had to go play this today. It's pretty fun. Fifty cents will let you play for one qtr. The only thing I didn't like was you had to use that dang blasted vision cone. I hate that thing with a passion.

Plus you'd have to stand to play all the time. Who the heck would want that?? I'd much more prefer my LazyBoy

How well does it play with a joystick anyway? They've had analog control for years now; it would be hard for me to go back. It also looks like you're limited to three buttons, which simplifies it (although I'm sure some would love that).
