GameFly, the company responsible for those Blake Griffin 'Be Amazing' ads, is the Netflix of video games. You rent them, you play them using your TV... great. But what if you want to stand in front of a giant arcade-size console and play retro games? Sure you could stop by BART or Player One, but they probably wouldn't let you play while munching day-old pizza and wearing your boxers.
A new California based start-up will! At home! All You Can Arcade delivers full-sized arcade games to members' homes or offices, one game a month, all set in free play mode. The monthly prices aren't bad either; $75 for one game a month, $150 for two games, and $225 for for three. Delivery is included in the monthly fee, which can be cancelled at anytime.
Members can make a wishlist of games, including ones the company does not yet have, and the company promises to "go out and try to find the game" for members. The company partners with arcade game owners, bringing life to old games that may have sat unused since the heyday 80s arcades.
The company is just in the San Francisco and Sacramento area at this point, but the site is laid out for a large roll-out to happen later on. Story via PSFK
