In October of last year, we reported on Bandai Namco creating a new arcade cabinet for Star Wars, dubbed simply Star Wars: Battle Pod.
The arcade machine has been available in the wild in local outlets since earlier this year, however, now Bandai Namco is opening up their production facilities to home enthusiasts to order their very own arcade cabinet. The machine comes in two options, $35,000, and $100,000.
While both options come with a rumbling seat, a fan that blasts air in your face, and a novelty dome screen, ponying up for the $100,000 premium edition gets you leather seats, a plate with a serial number (and your name engraved in it), and “exclusive carpeting,” whatever that means. Perhaps shag carpeting?
The premium editions are custom built upon being ordered, naturally. You can find more information for both editions here, on the game’s official website.
In case $35,000 or $100,000 is just out of your budget, you can find locations that already have the Star Wars: Battle Pod cabinet, ready to play.
Orders will be opening up on June 18th, and the aforementioned pricing doesn’t include shipping – considering these each weigh a whopping 1,200 pounds, you’ll probably be paying an arm and a leg to get one of these mothers shipped to you.
