tthurman Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I know there's not a lot of interest in these here, but this price has to make you wonder if: A: This title just isn't selling well B: Perhaps this home arcade fad is running out of steam I would think this would be a popular model for them. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/arcade1up-the-simpsons-30th-edition-arcade-with-matching-stool-and-tin/6471758.p?skuId=6471758 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 The desire has definitely been sated for the general market. We're sitting on a ton of these in our backroom at work (Walmart) and haven't sold ANY - not one - in months. I'm still waiting for corporate to drop the price so we can get rid of them. There's a PacMan One-Up machine we've had on the floor for 2 years. The inventory tag is from January 2021. Box is perfect but no one wants it.

Draco1962 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 From what I have seen, the CPs take a beating from customers and wear is apparent with scuffs through the graphics to the base, missing knobs, etc. That doesn't sell along with the prices which have gone up quite a bit. On the plus side but only for those of us with the chops for modding and familiar with Raspberry Pi, a used system can be refurbed and playable games expanded beyond.

ClassicGMR Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Exactly. If they put these cabs on Clearance I have planned on picking up one and throwing my Pi4 in it. It's just not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 History is destined to repeat, a great deal of these things will almost certainly be heading to the landfills in the not to distant future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Are they releasing a 1-UP Atari 2600 E.T. cabinet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
