Sit-down or stand-up cabinets?

That sounds about right.

Sitting. I don't stand up to play PS2, so I won't stand to play an arcade game. Yeah, there's a difference in the control unit, but not enough for me to *want* to stand.

I prefer to play arcade games the same way I pee, standing up.

Standing, barring racing games. Also, the old mini-cabs where you have to kneel to play the games, are the worst fucking things ever in arcades. I've only used them for SNK games, and I pray that they have never been used for anything else.

Arcade unit at an arcade: Standing.

Arcade unit at my house: Sitting.

What about an arcade unit at a friend's house?

We need a tie-breaker.

Never seen one...

Sitdown. Although I've never played a proper sitdown cab, most arcades I've been to recently have stools at the ready. I've been playing Raiden Fighters Jet sitting down, and it works beautifully. I'd imagine a cabinet designed with this in mind would be even better.

We always stood when we had an arcade; the only games that had stools (yes stools, we never had fancy shmancy sitdown units) were puzzle/shootemup games. To this day I cannot sit and use a stick at the same time.
