40-60 aren't as bad as the poster here indicates. It's where you really come into your own and become useful in PvP.
PvP is a great way to alleviate the monotony of constantly doing instance runs. Sure honor system isn't in yet, and some people get bored of it, but for me it's been fun since about day 3 of release in Ashenvale until now.
This is a great gesture, but I honestly don't think it will sell that great on the arcade level at least. I mean the nostalgia is there, I feel it, you more than likely feel it. But we've grown past the arcade stage.
Whens the last time you stepped foot in an arcade? Maybe once in the last months, years. I used to spend all my waking hours in the arcade. Hell I used to stay after and help clean just to play games for free afterhours. Now it's been years since I've been near a decent collection of coin-ops (save for the "golden tee 200x that every bar seems to have.)
The generation(s?) that would put money into it will never see it. We never go to the arcade anymore. Other things have entered our life... jobs, relationships, whathaveyou.
I love this idea and God willing I had the money I'd buy one for the home but it'll never see an arcade where everyones drawn to the new flashy colours and not "that old crap that has four different screens and one button"./me wipes a tear from his eye thinking about the old days.

When I first read that I thought they were talking about the little NES robot. What a pity.
