8 on the break? the one in the state of Florida?

Weren't they the ones who wanted to sell their Distorted machine on ebay (because their establishment was running out of floor space)??? Or was it some other arcade?

Anyhow

Your best bet would be coinopexpress.com

But the best option IMHO

Look for Hit Style Limited Hong Kong (official distributor of Konami arcade/amusement products in Hong Kong)

Hit-Style Ltd.

The current product on offer is beatmania IIDX DJ Troopers Asian Version. Good news is that it is already beat#3 by default (no need to connect to eamuse or any network for it).

So all the hidden stuff like Time to Air, Mendes, Icarus, My generation, etc. is there.



As for popn though....

Hit Style only sells brand new machines for 16th Party (as Pop n music only launched in Other Asia three months ago........so it is relatively new to this region.)

Hope that helps

The florida location is The Nexus. 8 on the Break is in New Jersey or thereabouts.

Sorry, but new upgrade kits don't really come "cheap", even from not-so-legit sources. You have to pay good money to keep up-to-date in the US.

Especially when it's still the most current version.

Agreed.

To the forum thread OP:

I hope that 8 on the B is ready to shell out some more extra cash for this.

I say this as this may not be enough.

However I can tell you one thing.

Shipping costs from Hong Kong is CHEAPER than shipping costs from Japan.

As well the virtually lower taxes and surcharges.

So if ever, then I suggest that you give Hit Style Limited an e-mail.

you can also wait until Empress comes out, and wait for people to sell their used kits on Yahoo Auctions Japan. That is when you will see them at their lowest except for years from now.

This is also one effective way as well.

No, that 8th style got junked a while ago. We have a 13 DistorteD cab now, that I would really like to see upgraded eventually. Most of us are kinda burnt out on 13th and below songs, plus the strict DD AC timing makes AAAing close to impossible except for a select few people (timing was loosened closer to CS in Gold AC.)

I think waiting for empress will be a better deal, but i'll ask hitstyle about one anyway.

Sure do.

Product lineup is complete and a lot in quantity (in fact that's where we got our GFDM V4 machines brand new asian version).

Plus service is also quite good (better than coinopexpress imho) so no worries

Actually that 8th style cabinet ended up out here in Bowling Green, OH. Kruton6 picked it up and we've been fixing it up/replacing pieces over the last few months. It's not nearly as broken down as it used to be
