Odds that my Arcade1Up NBA Jam arcade machine will still be by my front door step...

[Patrick Chewing]

...by the time I get home tonight?? Made a silly decision and decided to have it shipped to my house and there are nights where I don't get home till 8pm. I should have had it delivered to my store instead where I can load it in my car and take it home. It was delivered around 11 am this morning and it will be sitting in plain sight for at least 9 hours. I never leave any front porch lights on so it'll be pitch black outside by 5pm which helps. It also helps that I have three dogs roaming the house and always sitting by the front door waiting for me to get there. I do live in a pretty safe neighborhood, but it's the holidays man. Porch pirates are out in full force.

So what do we think? Still there when I get home? Or taken by the time I get there?

Here's the box and what is sitting right on my front steps right now:

1UP Arcade Street Fighter >>>

That's what I play when I am trying to keep my mind off of the vile media attack on Matthew Perry from the 90s sitcom Friends.

He's fat now. :(

Sorry, there aren't any wrestling arcade machines that would garner your attention.

IT will still be there. I had a ps5 delivered and it had been delivered without me knowing. I got home a day later i was 1000% sure it would be stolen..honestly, i thought the person lied and reallly never sent it. Cause its no way it got delivered that fast. I never been more shocked to walk up to my house @ 6 am in the morning to see a package there...It literally was out in the plain wide open in a big box for almost 24 hours....stunned

Ive had a couple things stolen btw over the years

Yeah a PS5 being delivered is risky, but glad it was still there. My problem is that this is a huge box. I live near the end of a cul-de-sac, so the only way someone will see it is if they go to end and then circle back around. Here's hoping it will still be there!

Yeah that's like a $3k-5k cabinet right there. Supposedly Arcade1Up is tinkering with the idea of releasing their version in the near future.

You can always go for this. A lot of games at a similar price to Arcade1Up.

I just sold my nba jam arcade. it's cool for a few months but then you wanna play other stuff. the best one to get is a hacked street fighter arcade 1up with the 6 buttons and 2 players with all the games on it for every system

the 3 button 4 player nba jam one needs too much work to put in more buttons

We know you're bragging, Chewing.

We know you're bragging, Chewing.

If half of you had jobs, then you would join my ranks and be able to buy nice things for yourself.


UPDATE: Went home early today and my package is safe and sound! Idiots left in front of the garage for the world to see. Guess it was too heavy for the driver to lift.

I didn't even play nba jam more than a few times when I had it. hangtime is way better

I'm building a giant game room/Man cave in my house. This is my second arcade cabinet. Already have the pool table and ping pong table. Would like to add at least a couple more cabinets and a full-size pinball machine. The AC/DC and Led Zeppelin ones are beautiful.
