Eh.. Dreamcast + 2 controllers + a VMU + a Tremor Pack + 7 games + 8 demos for $25. not the BEST, and probablyt doesn't beta it, but still a damn good deal..

Probably because of the quote pyramid of good deals.

Got any pictures? I'm having a hard time believing that people would think a PS2 is cheap considering its still current (its not like its an N64), and what did he do anyway? Did he just shove a tv in a cabinet with the PS2 in the base?. I'm having a hard time believing that you have a hacked Soul Calibur 2 (what makes it hacked? To accept coins? Wow.). I also don't believe that he built a cabinet that costed him more than a PS2, only to turn around and sell it for $10 at a yard sale. The smashed SP inside the arcade cabinet is ridiculous. Sorry, but I'm just skeptical. I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe not.
EDIT: My post count is 360. Just for that I'm putting the XBOX360 Revolution style controller in my signature again.

EDIT AGAIN: I'm editing because I want to keep my posts at 360. Yeah so what, wanna fight about it? Anyway:

True, but he said it was "hacked". Even if this is what the guy used, why after going through all the trouble to obtain one, build a cabinet, and "hack" his Soul Calibur 2 (only one game?) would he turn around and sell it for $10 at a yard sale. Oh, yeah don't forget about the GBA SP that was "smashed" into the cabinet. I hate it when I misplace my GBA SP into arcade cabinets that I BUILT, and intend to sell for $10, with a hacked copy of Soul Calibur 2. C'mon this is just ignorant. This is exactly the type of person I was talking about in the "rant: why are geeks cool nowadays?" thread. Don't take it personally, but don't (especially newer posters) post here to impress anyone. This forum is about building portables, and helping each other in the process (with your own discoveries mind you, not using someone elses' as your own). Now before I go off on a tangent I will leave it at that.

I doubt you got a PS2 arcade cab for ten dollars, as its impossible to get a PS2 for 2 dollars, and that'd be a fifth of the expense thatd go towards something like this.

I know this is a bit old, however, I went to a flea market yesturday, and I found some OLD stuff that's worth MORE than what I paid.

Four Game & Watch games at a dollar each!!! We have the Mickey & Donald Multi Screen game and watch, Oil Panic Multi Screen, Popeye, and a Mickey Mouse G&W. I already looked on ebay and these can easily net me an extra $200 altogether. =)
