Tempting... but I have to say I am more of an arcade deluxe cab fan. I loved the ones for Galaxy Force, Thunder Blade and After Burner.
All I'm waiting on is the price and launch titles. The concept has me sold so as long as the price is right then I am in.
Day 1, its the most exciting console launch I can remember.
I am 99% sure I am getting one. Unless the price is set too high - but I heard rumors there will be 2-3 SKUs so that shouldn't be a problem.
I want to get one but felt pretty burned after the Wii and then the Wii-U (some good games but still lacking IMO) so I will wait a while before I decide.
