Why are people talking about how much room it would take up in a GameStop when he's talking about opening VR Arcades??
Also does it really cost that much compared to arcade machines?? Especially when these can play so many different games.

That is enough for me to not be interested.

VR arcades/theatres are a brilliant idea, and I think it's the only way we're gonna see VR become mainstream any time soon with the cost of entry.

This. I've been thinking VR coul potentially mean the resurgence of arcade ever since the headsets were announced.

I've heard recently from a friend that there will be PSVR demos at best buys. Not sure if that's true. If it was, I would be down for trying that out.

Best buy and Gamestop. You'll have better luck at Best Buy I think. I've been hearing great things!

Oooh, Gamestop is in on it too. Even better. Sadly, a demo station is nowhere near me... T_T

I don't thing Gamestop should handle VRCades, see what I did there XD, but come to think of it, I don't think there's anyone else more unified and qualified. Then there's the issue of space. There would have to be a new building built if Gamestop were to do something like this.

GameStop should die they are the gangrene of the gaming industry... They are useless with their second hand scheme.... They rob the buyers and the sellers... The only valid reason to keep them is to save those jobs...
