Would you buy a completely upgraded ITG2 cabinet?

I sort of have that option, even though I'm recently just getting back into playing dancing games after a year and a half of quitting...

I agree with that. I'd save up for a dedicab. In my experience, dedicabs are more durable and the pads are overall better than that of upgraded cabinets.

Yes I wouldnt care if it was a dedicab or a upgraded cabinet. I play itg once a month if im lucky and my scores jump from like 5-10 percent on each song I play again. I prefer a dedicab though.

I've played on upgrade cabinets (specifically, one) during my entire time with ITG, so I'd go for it.

(Although I'd probably forego ITG entirely and just install StepMania into it.)

If it was a dedicab I hella would. There's not a single ITG machine in this state.. unless you count a shitty ass ITG1 upgrade(which blows).

No, because to me, spending any more than $50 on a video game is a waste of money.

Do you drive? You should take the bus instead of buying a car; anything more than $5 on getting places is a waste of money.

a few colleges have ITG, or at the very least DDR, so it's almost like killing two birds with one stone. right?

Here in Boston the prices for the public transportation went up:

Buses: $1.50
Subway: $2.00

Now taking it round trip (seeing if your going back home) would be $7.00. Everyone was pretty upset at the huge increase. But not to be derailed. I'd more or less buy a cabinet.

I've only played dedicabs, and I like em. But... I thought one of the only problems with upgrades is the power cord split, or whatever. I'm not really sure how it works, just from what I've heard.
