For the low, low price of only $35,000 (plus shipping and handling), you will soon be able to buy a home version of Bandai Namco Amusement’s Star Wars: Battle Pod arcade game, a surefire showstopper for any living room entertainment center, game room, or man/girl cave.
That $35k is for the lowest end model. A Premium Edition will also be sold for an even $100,000. For the extra cost, you’ll get to choose from one of two specially designed cabinet pods themed after the Rebel Alliance or Darth Vader, genuine leather seats synchronized to move with the action of the game, exclusive carpeting, a plate engraved with your name and the serial number, a bound owner’s manual, and your name added to the end credits scroll.

Orders for the standard home version are scheduled to open for business beginning June 18th. Additional purchasing details for the Premium Edition will be announced “after mid-June.”
So, who’s ready to blow their life savings on one of these bad boys?
