I wish. I'd even be willing to have it cut down to 1 screen if needed (but please do keep 2 monitor mode in as an option). Thanks to PSEye & Kinect, a GT5 style head tracking system to pan the screen could probably work as an alternative. Zoom buttons like Saturn Darius II could even be added.

Example, new KOF comes out and is close to $2000 in Japan, $800 in US, $500 in 2nd world countries. They can do this because the parts to make carts were not all made in Japan.

Having to import parts to make the cab and then export them out is just stupid.
QIA. US operators are probably afraid of paying close to $3000 for a PCB of something like DDP Saidaioujou. That aging SH-3 hardware can't really be expensive to produce, especially considering how it compares to Xbox 360 which Cave has used to crank out graphically improved ports. I wonder what the PCB really costs to make. If SDOJ were down to $1300 for a US release then maybe it might get more attention.

D&B etc. probably see $3000 plus the cabinet price as a lot of money to risk on this genre, let alone the price of a DBAC cab.
