[QUOTE="DaveMage, post: 2695388, member: 10447"] Like Arnwyn, I am probably not the target market, but I would not be interested in it. However, I'll bet the teens-at-the-mall set would be very interested. I have no opinions on specific pricing, but I would recommend making it more attractive than gaming at home in some way. Currently many kids have access to these games (and internet) at home, so in order to make it more attractive, you have to have better stuff. FWIW, some suggestions: -You should have bigger (and better) screens, and a "cooler" environment than they can get at home. (Don't ask me what's hip, though - I still think Star Trek is cool.) -As far as spilling drinks on a machine and expecting users to pay for it - forget it. Trying to collect would be more of a headache than it's worth. Buy insurance for major occurances, and have a replacement plan in place for all equipment. Set prices appropriate to cover these expected replacements. Also, since people are never as careful or gentle with your equipment than they are with their own, make sure you have a reserve of backup controllers to avoid downtime. [/QUOTE]
