Thousands of dollars.

I am in negotiations to buy a DDR cabinet with Extreme on it from an amusement dealer where I live. Until I move out of a crappy apartment and into a house, it'll be in my uncle's basement (kind of like a guy's area) which will complement it nicely. No more sheisty arcades. Muahahaha.

$5000. easily for the machine, maybe $6000. after delivery and taxes.
About $2000. in playing DDR at the arcade since June.
DDR Max, Max2 and ExUs - $110.
Soft pads - $80.

That's it. E4.gif

Cheers!

$30 every week or two on tokens at the arcade (since before the summer, before that it was $5-10 every time i went to play)
$30 DDRMAX2
$20 for 2 konami soft pads
$20 for 1 really bad madcats pad

(however, usually LaseK pays for the $30 tokens per week thing. 'cos LaseK is sexy.)

Jesus Christ!!!! I can't believe some of the digits people are handling out on DDR. Me I spent a fair amount of money on ddr. But I'm pretty sure it hasn't reach two thousand yet.

Between April 1999 to November 2004, I've probably spent over $12,000.00 on playing the DDR/Bemani arcade games in over 100+ Locations in the USA! Is that a trip or what? Please reply, over! Thanks!

Metal pad: $300.00
Games: $110.00
Soft pads: $80.00
Arcade money in total: (Jan 2003-Nov 2004) $100.00

Total: $590.00


Most of the time a single session only costs me 5.00 and under, since it's .50 per game and so on..
