CaseCrave: New-School Arcade Edition
By Jared Newman
If you’re in the camp that believes video games — particularly their controllers — have become too complicated, maybe this will help. Justin at Solomods is selling his personal Xbox 360 arcade cabinet, which consists of an old Simpsons game cabinet with the console parts stuffed inside. It’s got a 60 GB hard drive, a 27-inch standard definition monitor and arcade-style joystick and button controls, but it supports wireless controllers if you just want to sit back and play. “This is not for everyone,” Justin writes, “it’s for the hardcore gamers that enjoy the old school fun with the most current game media available.” In other words, you lame gamers with less than $2,250 to fork over need not call. Also, the cabinet is only available for local pickup in the Cleveland area, so most of us will have to admire it from afar. [Solomods via Engadget]
