Yes I just scored this from someone for $267.80. It isn't here just yet and still needs to be shipped. But it is mine!

These are hard to come by, and cost a ton to ship from asia since they are so huge. This is an actual Astro City arcade panel, setup for the saturn. It is an official Sega product.

Very Cool!! Cool its very expensive but with that is the same or better than playing in the Arcades Very Happy . Its probably very rare too. Saturn is one of the best consoles for 2D beat em ups and some of the best arcade games, shame not for scrolling beat'em ups, so I'm sure you'll enjoy this much Smile .

I can use this on the Saturn, as well as the Dreamcast and PC even. I have converters for DC and PC.

The coolest thing is the little marquee holder. I can design my own inserts if I want to. Slip in a custom Radiant Silvergun insert (even though I have yet to get this game). I could make one for Blastwind or Thunderforce V though Smile

That is incredible. The replacable marquee aspect is pretty cool, especially in the hands of someone who has graphic design experience.

A sodding great big monitor like in the real astro city cabinets of course Razz

I should really get a decent arcade stick. My current is a bit squeaky.

Well the whole point of getting this, and how I treat consoles in general is to avoid getting a cab. I have no room for it. Plus, they are huge and super heavy. If you get a cab, you better not plan on moving anytime soon. Getting these things up stairs in an apartment would be chaos.

My TV is exactly as big as a cab's monitor as it is.

The cool thing about thi arcade stick though is that it not only has the controls, but I can put in control insert marquee's into the top of the unit. So I can still customize some art and visual flair without owning cab. This is the perfect scenario for me.
