There's suppliers that sell spare parts like lights, speakers, and the drum pads and sensors. I've looked it all up. But from what I've seen, V3 is running on the Konami Playstation 2 based hardware, which is just a PS2 with a special board attached to it. unlike 10th which is a PS1 system. But V4 is when they introduced BemaniPC to the series. And that shows no sign of letting up as that system can be easily upgraded to a more powerful game. But with all of the hacking going around, they might change the hardware to prevent it from happening more often. Then it could become less expensive, but that's a while from now.

As far as my questions go, they're done. And as of now it's a 50/50 thing. I'm going to move soon, and I would have to move into a house where it could actually be placed. I need to know if it's possible to disassemble some of the parts to get it inside. I've seen DDR machines make it into a bedroom, so it seems probable. But what about DM, because from my knowledge, there's nobody that has one to themselves on these forums. I just gotta see if it can be moved relatively easily if it's needed. Getting it through the door that is, and a truck is easy since I can rent one with a cargo lift. And it's being brought to a business my dad's friend owns, so that makes the freight shipping thing a breeze. But seriously, why don't more people play this one? I've done all of them pretty much, and this one is by far the most innovative and fun to play. I'm sick of the DDR and Dance Maniax (does anybody even care about that one?) machines we have here.

Does anybody know of a good courier company? I've attempted to get quotes, but all I'm getting is companies that can only do full container shipments. My supplier said it would be around $500, which seems a bit low. Then again, I know nothing about freight shipping.
