A quick check of whois database indicates that the ShopTamFam.com website was created at 11:59pm on the last day in June 2022…so basically July 1st 2022… so basically just 4 months ago.

Personally not sure that I would trust it as the prices seem a bit low to be legitimate for a small (unknown) retailer… and its not like Arcade1Up has discontinued or liquidated these particular models (at least as far as I know).

Anyway, good luck to anyone willing to take the risk.

(Website says powered by 40boxes, but not sure if I'd believe that either).

She was an anchor on the Today Show for a few years and then got upset with NBC and left. Morning talk shows like The Today Show, Good Morning America, Wendy Williams and others often have these sponsored deals segments. Local news at noon for Sinclair affiliates and Tamron have joined this trend more recently. It's oftentimes as seen on tv type stuff or jewelry, makeup or clothes. I guess there may be more variety now that it's the Christmas shopping season.

$99 at WM is a 5 in 1 version with no light up marquee. I ordered one, opened up, verified, and returned it.

This one is 10 in 1. Picture shows a 40 yr anniversary edition, which, according to arcade1up, has a light up marquee.

516 vertical games "plug and play" mod option from Diyretroarcade.com (include Donkey Kong, Pacman, DigDug etc.. All popular vertical arcade games)

I modded another partycade with this mod kit. Very worth it.

I have no idea who that talk show personality is or that it is common for them to promote deals (that are assuredly sponsored, aka make money), but those are decent prices on those items, especially if one has the projection model.

So what's the deal here? Pay $79 for one game, mostly for the hardware? Are these moddable or something?

These prices seem absurdly low for the partycade. Just bought it from qvc for $119 and my research showed that was low. Not sure if I should buy this and return or if this is def legit. Anyone?

They have multiple games loaded on already. I believe they are moddable but not easily

Mod kits are sold for these, but they're apparently not cheap.

Never bought from this site, but it is clearly associated with the TV show so I'd assume it's legit. If you go to TamronHallShow.com and go to the Shop section, it links to this site.

Partycade and Couchcade each have 10 games, Countercade has 4 games. The games that come with each model are listed on the site.

Just ordered Ms. Pac-Man and Super Pac-Man partycade. Was on the fence which one to get but for this price I got both and then can either keep them or sell one of them. We'll see what actually shows up though
