To compare the Konami metal pad against a Cobult Flux........Cobalt Flux, eat your heart out. That Konami pad just puts every other metal pad to shame. Maybe I could like bargain and buy one from one of the lucky Japanese citizens who actually acquired one. I'll pay him 5 thousand dollars for the pad!!!! Any lucky person in Japan hear this!!!? |
if you're willing to pay that, just get a machine. |

Um, yeah, but we aren't back in the day. I understand perfectly well what was being said. But I was stating that NOW you could get a machine for about 4000 dollars used, as the guy I was replying to was saying that he would be willing to pay 5000 dollars for that metal pad NOW. Please do not take that arrogant tone as if you understand something that I do not about the english language. It seems to me that all of your posts lately have been very hostile and I believe you might want to consider chilling out and taking a break from the message boards.

You`ll have to go Japan or find some overly generous person over there to do the searching for you. Game shops in Akihabara are your best bet, and then they may charge an arm and a leg on top of that. If you speak Japanese than maybe you can try to negotiate otherwise your pretty much SOL. |

ahhhh, I remember seeing these things when I started to play seriously...
as I remember they were made for people who wanted an arcade machine but couldnt fit them in their house (cuz as others have pointed out its very tight living in japan) That was what I was told when there was a big deal about them a few years ago. |

Sure glad I was able to get my Beat-gear pads. Even though I have had to rewire them because the controllers dies, I have yet to see anything else made as well yet.

yeah an extreme costs about 6-7k. You could always just get a lower version and spend a bit of money on upgrading it for a lot cheaper.

There were some eBay auctions up recently that looked suspiciously like the Beatgear pads, so the thinking is that the owner of the storage facility confiscated the property in exchange for non-payment, and he was trying to liquidate them to others.
Edit: Oh, and the seller was in Miami, which is where the Beatgear pads were coming from. _________________
