Game Haven's Crystalcade
Kotaku posted a story yesterday about someone finding a four thousand dollar arcade emulation box/joystick thing in a Skymall catalog, but I think they missed the big picture. The same company sells a full-sized clear light-up color-changing arcade emulation machine with a mirrored bezel and joysticks plated with precious metals. Game Haven presents unto the world...Crystalcade:

Sooo basically it's a souped-up MAME machine? With a flat screen? What? I've recently learned a lot about arcade machines and there's a lot wrong with this thing...
I get the feeling that while it's easily convertible to a MAME machine, in it's present state it is pre-loaded with off the shelf PC software configured to work with the controls. These guys are too high-profile to deal with illegal roms.
I see. Though I was thinking they had gone out and licensed them.
Critics...critics....
Take a MUCH closer look at this old school innovation. It's a first class system and a creative extension of our line of firsts to the public. They'll just keep getting better...
Any suggestions that we haven't already thought of? This is a collectors item no doubt - and we are not limited to theory. Not everyone can afford exclusive items, especially when they are brand new to the market. The value is justified in any features and benefits comparison anyway. Most just don't understand how much they're getting since they have never received such value in this type of a product. Mediocrity is not our mantra. Keep the appreciation up. It's worth it in the long run. Many blessings, ;-)
You're very cool Joel. Thanks for the good energy!
