I agree with what most have already said. Most of us actually do go to arcades to play those big ass arcade cabinets that we could never have at the house. Sure, we can get the same game at home, but the experience isn't the same. I grew up in the 80's arcade scene, so I do miss them, but arcades (in general) are not dead, just re-defined.

I wonder if those PC LAN stores will be the arcades of the near future? They are popping up in many places.
