Xbox 360 arcade cabinet is a lot of money for less functionality

xboxcabinet.jpgThe Xbox 360 isn't all that expensive these days. You can find them for around $200 if you know where to look, which is downright reasonable for how awesome a console it is. But what if you have money to burn and want something a bit more… unique?

The Xbox 360 Arcade Cabinet is just that, an old Midway arcade cabinet retrofitted with an Xbox 360 inside. It's certainly cool looking, but the fact of the matter is that you then have to control your Xbox 360 games with an arcade stick and buttons, which should come in handy for about 1% of games and make the rest unplayable. And you'll pay $2,250 for this right. Yeah, I'll stick to the cheap regular version, thanks.

Hey guys
We value all your opinions good and bad. Keep in mind this was built for fun not practacality. I sit on the couch and play my 360 on my 60'' HD flat screen as well. But when I have some friends over we are all over this arcade machine. In 4 years the girlfriend didn't play my 360 This gets built and she play MK3 with all us for 2 hours on the first day. It's not about the money that's not why it was built the price is just the asking price. This was made to give the feeling that you were at the arcade not sitting on your couch. If you want the sitting on you couch experience then just keep on doing what your doing there's nothing wrong with that.
This is not for most people this is for the old school hardcore gamers.
