I was fortunate enough to get a PlayStation case marquee from my place of work. I didn't steal it, but I wasn't supposed to get it - it was a favor, one of those cases where it should have been sent to the trash, but it was instead given to a loving home - a victimless crime, perhaps? The marquee is similar to that of an arcade display - designed to have light shine through it with a large, official PlayStation text and PS logos.

The same store has the marquees for the other major systems above the game cabinet (only reason why I got the PS one is because the system is dead at our store) - obviously they still need them. I doubt I'll be in the store in time to see the systems die and, have an excuse to take them - BUT these things must be available somewhere, right? I know they're not sold to the public but there must be thousands of these things just floating about.

I want them because they would look absolutely, positively HOT above the new cabinet I am building to house my games. Anyone got any pointers?

I grab display signs anytime I can from the store I work for. My best snag so far is a plexiglass Game Boy Advance oval featuring Mario, Kirby and Pikachu. Got that one when the store switched to a more basic Game Boy Advance logo version instead.

I also go for the "Now Playing" cardboard insert cards we use in the demo kiosks that highlight specific games. The FF: Crystal Chronicles and Jak II items are my best ones so far, but I missed out on the Fable one.

I have that exact one where I work, we replaced the PlayStation one I have with the basic GBA sign. I also try to get those other things - there's a silly limited edition Halo 2 metal case stand that I'm eying.

Do you work at Target? (You can PM me if you'd rather not say it in public.)

I'm gonna try to get the empty Halo 2 LE display case they gave us -- I'm very good friends with the Xbox rep. ;)
