This has been $299 several times in the past month or so. There's rumors on a 2023 re-release of this cab with a better monitor. This cab has a notoriously bad monitor which washes out in the right hand side. My guess is this cab is going to see some heavy discounts in the coming months. I'd hold off; especially at $399.

Interesting. I've monitored this in the past month and never saw it at 299. Any particular place?

Not that im aware of.. this isnt the old legacy its the new 30th. Its a better form factor cab but has the tn screen so id agree on waiting for a ces at the least.

It was during the Black Friday sales and pre-Christmas sales when all of the Legacy style cabs dipped down. The price bounced more frequently on this one, so it was tougher to get at that price. I can't, however, stress enough about the bad monitor on this one. It's really bad; I'd hold off for the eventual re-release. Check out the multitude of bad reviews on YouTube. You money, though. Just making sure others are aware of the issues.

This is pretty much a skinned Legacy cab with a different cab design. I know I saw it at the $299 price…pretty sure it was Sam's Club.

This is the 30th-anniversary cabinet which is different. The version that has been on sale its the legacy version. Yes, I've heard about the monitor issues, but there are some videos that show you the monitor to make your own decision. But as far as I know, this version (30th anniversary with the slanted control) has not been on sale.

Yeah people should check reviews as the tn monitor ruined this otherwise great legacy cab.

You guys may be right on the price, but I'm almost certain I saw 30th on sale at Sam's for $299. That being said, this cab is almost certainly getting a 2023 re-release with a BOE monitor, which means this version will be clearanced out. John D referred to it as much on a recent YouTube interview. I would personally hold off for at least CES.

I am in the process of making a gaming room in my basement and want to add few arcades. I have no clue about these. Can someone recommend which ones are popular for teens/adults.

I've been waiting forever on a price drop on this 30th edition version of MK. Hoping they'd go on sale for at least $299, especially with all of the recent major clearances & deals on other A1U games (Simpsons, MK3, Blitz, etc.) the last few weeks.

I noticed that Best Buy, Kohl's, Amazon, & even HSN all seem to be matching each other's prices at $399.

Which one of these retailers have the best/longest return/price-match policy? I'm tempted to bite the bullet & grab one now but want to make sure that I'd be able to price-match a price drop if it happens in the near future. I think Best Buy is only 14-days and Amazon 30. Would Kohl's be my best bet?
