Massive Multiplayer Gaming Warehouses On The Way

hephaist0s writes "A company called Holo-Dek Gaming has opened a gaming center in New Hampshire where $5/hour buys gamers a 73-inch high definition projection screen and a networked Alienware PC or or Xbox. More impressive, though, are the prototypes for their 180-degree gaming theater... and their game sphere. Yes, sphere. This is just a pilot program--the Baltimore facility planned for 2005 would have 300 networked gaming stations. Story and pictures here, company website here."

    The only people that will fork out $5 an hour for this are those who are not online or do not have a clue. I would also think most of these people can't really afford $5 an hour for games.

  11. Dave and Busters is terrible by cbreaker · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We've got two Dave and Busters locations near me, in Rhode Island. There's on a a new mall, and it's only been there a few years - maybe five.

    They have not done a single thing to keep the place running well. Almost all the games are the same games they put in five years ago, and when they break, they fix them 'enough' to run. For games that cost somtimes two dollars to play, you would hope that the seat works, the force-feedback steering wheel works, and the sounds work. But quite often, none of these are true.

    The screens all have burn-in, too.

    I mean, COME ON! Everyone I know, at least, agrees with me on D&B. Sure, it's a novel thing to be able to play a game with a beer and a cigarrette, but when the games are all old and decrepid the novelty wears off quick.

    They make SO much money there, there's no excuse. Three years ago, the place ways always busy - lines every night. Now, there's nothing even close to a line at the place and I think it's the old crappy games, expensive beer, and dried out food that you can get within three hours of ordering it.
