Look Judas,
I used to go to a community pub/bar/resturant and everybody had a game they could play at their table that tested their wits, it was fun, you got free fried finger food if you were good, and generally everyone enjoyed it. I dont know if bringing other console games into the mix would be worth a shekel or two but its worth a try.

Well typically i'm already setup for such a service... but i'm actually looking at trying to get myself a kiosk to setup at this location.... i really do think it would fly.... Problem is.. and really i'm confused as to why microsoft hasn't thought of this already.... an arcade pay to play xbox360 with live account system...... sure you get to play kiosk demos at retail stores.... but typically you get the boot oventually...

just a few links I just googled Judas, the idea has merit and has caught on. I played some Xbox in a bar in Slovakia. I think they were all connected to a large screen and you could play table top arcade at your seat if you wanted. THe graphics were similiar to the quality you find at arcade palaces in Japan.
Be the first on your block Judas, and keep pretzels and beer handy.

Plenty of the snacks are at the ready....

but from what i say in all those links... nothing of what i was thinking were really mentioned....

I'm looking for something along the lines of "Pop a quarter in.. play until your dead.. game over..... pop another quarter in" type of arcadeing.... And that's to play anything available on a standard xbox360...

I'd definately do a Console LAN or whatever at a bar/pub if i was invited (and could get in legally, obv.), hell, last time 4 of us played halo 2 at my mate's house when he got his 360 we were pissing ourselves laughing at how badly Steve got pwned.

I can't even imagine how crazy a wii gaming sesh would be lol... I've never played one but from the vids i've seen on youtube things look like they get outta hand ;p
