    Are any of these "sales" going to get you to buy now, or do you think we'll actually see something better on Friday?

    Hey brother! These sales are comical, $699 Simpsons really had me laughing 😂

      Jason, always great to hear from you! I mean, I almost couldn't believe it when I saw it. I mean maybe they will actually have real deals come Friday, but regardless, that pricing is literally crazy. I hope you & your family have a great Thanksgiving!

    It's crazy to think my walmart had simpsons and nfl blitz at $199.00 about 2 years ago and I didn't buy them at that price.

    • @evilgeniusentertainment
      @evilgeniusentertainment  2 місяці тому +2

      Same for me: I had no interest in a censored BLITZ, and the Simpson's cab is so deeply flawed and has such a poor game selection (2 games on a $700 cab? WTF?) that the only reason to buy it was to mod. Maybe at $99 I'd do it, but again only to mod or resell.

    I got Simpsons for 199 with the stool riser and light up marquis. It wasn't a sale either. I went back to buy more and the whole section was gone.

    I was really close to buying the Galaga deluxe at 400 from Walmart. My better angels prevailed.

    • @evilgeniusentertainment
      @evilgeniusentertainment  2 місяці тому +1

      It's just not a $400 cab. $299 I can see, but not $400. That time has passed. A huge part of the problem is that they were 2 years too late with the Deluxe design - and by the time they came out, everyone wanted XL's... which they're still waiting for.

    The Simpsons $699? LOL!!! What's not funny though is some goof will probably buy it at $699 thinking he out smarted Arcade 1Up by buying during the holidays.😂😂 Poor chump!

    • @evilgeniusentertainment
      @evilgeniusentertainment  2 місяці тому +1

      Who knows, they might go on some crazy sale on Black Friday, but at $600 they might as well ask a thousand - it's just as silly a price.

      I didn't see that. Oh make no mistake, once most of these cabs sellout, we'll never see them again. Of course at these prices that will take another 10 years, but still....

    I paid the $599.99 for Simpsons with Stool . I live in a very rural area mostly farmland so they are hard to find. Import taxes will put that nail last in the coffin 😔

    Hey John I think I have a broken play station and yes I'm talking about the original Sony PlayStation and I have a black Friday deal on it for only 999.99$ that's right 999.99$ let me know if it's priced competitively, 😂😂😂. Another good video man keep them coming.

    No new cabs coming so no sales needed on the old ones I’m guessing.

    • @evilgeniusentertainment

      No new title coming, at least anytime soon... but they definitely need a sale on these cabs.

    I was tempted at getting the MK cab but even at $399 it's way too much.
    If it was $250-300, I may have gone for it.
    Not a single Arcade 1 Up product is worth more than a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S.

    • @evilgeniusentertainment
      @evilgeniusentertainment  2 місяці тому

      Well, value is individual I suppose. One man's trash and all that. But I agree that as a basic rule, no A1up cab with normal buttons/joysticks is worth more than $299... the shooters/driving games and specialty cabs like STAR WARS and TRON are, but they are the exception not the rule.

      Well that's the thing - I don't know that they will. I man you'd have thought that all those Blitz's, Big Blue's, and Simpson's would have finally seen enough dust in those warehouses and been blown out a long time ago. Basically everything with a riser is now at least 2 years old, and probably older yet you see Simpson's sitting there at $699... it's madness.

      ⁠@@evilgeniusentertainment I agree. I just can’t believe that the Simpsons is still that high. How many of those are left? They were down to $299. I even saw it for $199. But at that time, many other cabs were $299. I should’ve hopped on some of those deals back then.

      Dan, I do like (most) of their machines, particularly the one player vertical builds. But A1up's pricing schemes have always been frustrating, and now they're just straight up bizarre.

      @@evilgeniusentertainment Was the original price of the Simpsons cab $699? I don’t think it was. If it wasn’t, this reminds me of their pinball machines. They came out at $500 then went to $550 now they have them as high as $750 and then put them on sale for $500-$550 where they were originally. Everyone knows their pinball machines have issues in overheat. Comparing them to at games. They are not worth the price. I just don’t understand how they price cabs.
