Why they offer payments with delayed payment – like paypal’s pay in 3 or something? Shelling out £800 at once is a bit steep for most I geuess.
My bad, they offer paypal!
Why? Just purchase the arcade bartop for 500
You need to be a little more specific. Which arcade bartop? It’s not really the same experience regardless.
That’s like saying “Oh, I can just buy it on ‘x eShop’ on my Xbox, Playstation, switch ”
And sure you are right…. same games less money
But handling an AES cart is unlike anything you’ve ever touched! Plunging that 2lb VHS sized cartridge in to the console and sitting on the couch playing with the official arcade stick…. and now wirelessly!?!?!
Gonna be worth every penny to the right people!
