Amusing comments...
So I ordered the fifth edition of Oregon Trail and they sent me this. I totally didn't want this thing because I had to leave it outside for 2 weeks before anyone came to ship it back to Amazon. Basically I had to hire someone to keep the neighbor's kids from coming onto my property and playing with my horse machine. Those kids are so annoying. There have been numerous times where I've wanted to shoot them with my shotgun (which I bought on Amazon).
I can see doing this with one...but 4? That's a lot of money...
No kidding. i got 4 of these, stripped down the lame horse graphic stuff and had my cousin airbrush some nice Halo graphics. have it outfitted so the 20" screens show each players Heads Up Display (HUD) and the 100" can either show the 4 people corrisponded with the monitor or all 16 people (which is quite a cool feature). if you have any electronic skillz and want to rig up a very nice halo station, this is for you. don't let the price tag put you out either. i have it set up in my dorm rec room. the games are $1 / person and almost always 16 people / game. winner or winning team gets a reward minus my cut, which ranges from 12-8 bucks depending on the type of game. there is Always a game going on, with at least 8 people (students and faculty) on it from all over campus. i make over 2k weekly. if you have the cash to front, it will pay for itself in no time.

Nah. I'd go for 7, to be safe.

It already qualifies for free shipping, as it costs "$1.00 or more".

Did anyone see the shipping details.
"Oversized items sent via a freight trucking company typically arrive to your curbside within 7-14 business days. The freight trucking company is not responsible for carrying the item into the building."
Now lets look at the spec sheet for this machine.
19FT W x 24FT Deep x 8FT H/Weight: 2500 lbs
yea you have to get a 1 1/4 ton machine into your place of business that going to create a problem for me.

So some college kid blew 400k on them to make 2k a week? Including maintenance on it and having to worry about some kid getting pissed and breaking it, I highly doubt he is "Raking" it in as he says.

Use the 1.5 ton capacity mini-excavtor.

You can put your new derby game in the gazebo.

You'll need power in that gazebo.

When you finish setting everything up, take a break.

And, for the hell of it, a land tank.

Well, he'll recover the total cost in 4 yrs but if you consider depreciation, he can recover his $$$$ in even less time. I could probably use that for my LAN parties but it's been quite hard to get ppl together as of late so this, for me, would be a questionable purchase, at best.
