Okay, so I have come across the opportunity to get a 10th mix or V3 machine, and putting it in a local arcade in the area. I haven't talked to the owners of either arcade I can have it hosted at (Splitz Bowling Center, or the Reitz student union on the UF campus,) but I want to be as serious as possible before I make any further moves.

I know the Bemani scene has died a bit, but with the new Rock Band phenomenon, it seems possible it could succeed to some level. Please be assured this could be serious depending on what feedback people give me. I have figured that about 15 plays a day @ $.75 a game will pay for itself and then some in just over a year. (The crappy SN machine here at UF makes much more than that to my knowledge) It can be here within 3 months if the idea seems logical. I've gotten invoices with shipping and everything, so all I have to do is order it and pay the operating taxes on it.

What would you guys think about this? Is it a good idea to shell out several hundred more to go for V3, or get 10th and upgrade it after I see how well it does? Or would talking to the manager/owner, about having a poll at the arcade to see what the public would think of it. I just don't want the ignorant kids thinking badly about it, as many may see it as a "rip-off," which has been very common seen since Guitar Hero came out.

Please give me some feedback on what you guys may think about this investment I may be looking into.
