the game in question Jojo's Bizarre Adventure for the arcade

pro-I'll own the arcade game MutherF**KERS!

con-I already own it on PS1. I have no way to play it since it requires an arcade machine thats equipt to play CPS3 games (A.E. Street Fighter 3)

so? should I?

I don't know, that's a lot of money for a game!

Then again, if you want it and have the funds...you can do what you want, but that it seriously expensive. I would bid and see how high the auction goes, then you can watch it and decide as it progresses.

I voted Bah!

I voted NO, for three reasons:

1) Not to be a Negative Nancy, but you'll probably never get around to getting an arcade machine to play it on. I've done similar purchases in the past... for example, I bought a load of Swing records with the intent of getting a record player. Of course, I haven't gotten around to buying a record player yet. So, basically, all those Swing records have been sitting in my closet collecting dust for the past few years.

Even if you do manage to get an arcade machine, it will probably cost you a crapload of money. And I assume that the arcade machine is HUGE, so it will also take up alot of your living space. AND, remember that if you move, it has to come with you, so moving it will be a bee-eye-itch!

2) You have it for the PS1, and I would assume it's a pretty good conversion since it's a 2-D fighter by Capcom. By getting this arcade version, you're essentially buying the exact same game... for $153.00.

3) What happens if the arcade game breaks? You'll have to call a technician to get it fixed, and I don't think they're cheap. If the PS game breaks, you can get a new one relatively easily. No big deal.

Anyway, do what you want... but why not look into getting an emulator for your computer instead?

Oh man, I definately vote "no." That is a lot of cash that you could probably better spend elsewhere. Plus, all the hassle and work of getting and maintaining an arcade machine isn't worth it. Stick with your PS1 version.

[arforbes]

Now that I think about it, I should have voted "no". Its way too much money to spend when you can spend it on M.U.S.C.L.E.'s!!!

[Ramses]

well,I should not,but I do have some arguments of my own,mainly because I can buy one of the small Japanese-style sit down arcade machines since I live near mexico where I can get the machines dirt cheep (Like 100 bucks starting price) and besides,I Collect Jojo stuf why do you think I added jojo into the pettiton? oh well,thats my argument.

Not to be a Negative Nancy

Negative Nancy! Ha! You crack me up Nathan.

I voted no. Dedicate that money to muscle. OR You could give me a nice birthday present at the end of the month

Do it, man!
$149 for arcade software is not so bad, especially if it is a title you collect.
You have easy access to cheap arcade hardware, you want the game, so buy it.


And, Mr. N., a phonograph player can be purchased for as little $1.00 at a thrift store. You can probably get one even cheaper at a tag sale. People abandon old technology like crabs jumping off Madonna.

Or you can sell me your records...

Good lord, I think I have at least 3-4 turntables just collecting dust in my attic.
