A shame going by this article, i dont think the arcades will last long considering everyone is sticking to the home consoles route..besides, arcade hits like Time Crisis can be played at home with the gun, so there goes that.

imo, the only reason to visit the arcades these days is to play Tekken 6, that game is f4rking tight! Cant wait for the PS3 release.

To be honest (I'm going to get hit, I know it) but I reckon Time Crisis 4 was better in the arcades than on the PS3.

Damn I hate the infrared sensing thing. Hate it

100% agree, Tekken 6 is the only exclusive arcade game atm, as soon as the PS3 release is out, arcades will fade.

Most arcades in Australia are too expensive to play, some want $2 a pop. I love pinball machines, so spend a bit of time at the local arcade. One I go to when Im in canada, all the machines cost 25cents, and Im in heaven.

Its a shame that Arcades will never be the same as they where in the 80s.

Ahh, YES! I miss the recoil, I prefer the pedal to crouch instead of that button positioned awkwardly on the GunCon3 and I hate the dodgy infrared sensor.

Arcades will never die out, as long there were kids and teenagers around. We go there and play its all about atmosphere...

Arcades alway better then console, the feel of joy stick is better then controller....

Yeah, its sad, Arcades these days is not like olden time, like time zone, don't see them around anymore.
