Aldi arcade cabinets are here


Recommended Posts

Meanwhile in the US, a number of Walmarts are having clearance sales on the Arcade 1up.

 

Best I saw posted on facebook was this one

yeah I saw that too. I'm thinking of asking a relative in the US to keep an eye out and if they can get one for $75 to buy it and ship it out to me! Would still work out cheaper than buying one here!

That's some deal there.

Been to 5 Aldis in Sydney and none has Street Fighter.

A few have a few Rampage left.

You guys are picky if saying too much.

 

Compared to the price of pinballs.

 

Anyway, Mrs bought one for me for a Chrissy present, at full price.

Asked about getting money back for the difference due to being cheaper now.

 

They mentioned to bring it back. Get a refund and re-buy it !!

 

Anyway I'm truly interested by AA'ers that have one or actually played one and their thoughts.

 

Cheers

I've done that before, you should do it. Get back $200 which can go towards another Xmas present.

I bought two for $299 (both SF2 Cabs, one for me, one for my brother) purely with the intent to mod my one, by following the ETA PRIME modding guide. .

 

The artwork on them is nice, the look is great, good size for sitting on a stool etc. Joysticks are pretty terrible, while buttons are fine nothing to complain about there.

 

After a week i'd bought a joystick/button/encoder pack from amazon, a hdmi controller pack and a cheap amp, and modified it by taking all stock buttons and sticks out, and putting my raspberry Pi3 inside it, new buttons, new stick etc.

 

Much happier now with it, my kids love it too.

 

Also, Hunter Products who distribute them here, sent out 2 plexiglass controller board covers and 2 replacement art covers for free, express shipping so as to protect the artwork on the controller board.

 

In saying that, after a couple of weeks since modding and my kids playing it quite a bit, it had yet to see any damage like some others have, but now with the plexiglass panel its a guarantee it wont be an issue down the track, hunter products were great, just asked for a receipt pic and sent out the panels the same day via express courier.

Thanks appreciate an actual review from someone that has experience with them.

 

I've taken mine back, but if the Aldi's around me drop the price to $300 I'll consider getting one again.

I think they would be good to take to a BBQ etc.
