120-inch arcade center might eat your home

When it's not trying to bring back '70s-style game cabinets, Dream Arcades thinks big--as in systems with screens reaching 100-plus inches. And the strides made by display makers in the last year or two apparently have done nothing but encourage its mission.

The "Dreamcade Vision 120" isn't just a game system; it's an arcade center. In fact, Gizmowatch calls it "the world's largest multi-game home arcade," a grandiose claim that almost makes its $3,999 price tag seem reasonable. Almost.

Its projection screen is a full 120 inches of high-definition goodness and comes with new and old titles that can bridge generations, from Atari to the Wii. (More than 145 classics and 7,000 console games.) That's a good thing, because this monster won't leave much room for anything else in the house--just look at that picture. Or you could put it in the garage and just sit in the car.

Fake picture

Was it really necessary to PhotoShop in the Christmas tree? How do you expect people to think you're serious/legit if you fake something like this.

Y'know, for a system that costs 4 large...

...I'd expect a decent, permanent screen mount, not some El Cheapo affair on a tripod! Bad choice by whoever picked this pic to represent their "high-end" system.
