Thinking of starting up an XBox LAN Gaming Center. Would have several Boxs connected, all with surround sound and widescreen HDTV.
Might charge something like $3 per hour per gamer.
Would you go to something like that?
Thanks for the input!
Oh yeah!
No way. I only like playing at home.
Maybe, I\\\'d at least check it out.
Wouldn\'t even be interested.

At 3$/hour that would be a steal! I would definitely go! Be really cool if you could like rent the whole place so you and a bunch of buddies could have some major fragfests!Originally posted by blewis

Welcome to XBA my friend. An awesome Xbox site!

Dude, I'd spend my lunch money on that. I don't have a very big screen at home, so getting a chance to paly multi-player on a bigggg screen would rock. Goodluck.
I used to play at a computer place like that for $4 an hour. Round up a couple guys after school or whatever and play quake and command and conquer for hours. (they were big back then)
I think it would be a good idea, you could get some huge 8v8 halo games goin on.
Coolness, great idea...
Meanwhile back at the Ranch,Bificus Beefy AKA Evil_Dr_Beefy and his henchmen The Big Dipper Beast plot the destruction of their arch nemesis Spaceboy
You should definitely do that. I think that is a very viable and entertaining line of business.Originally posted by blewis

I also agree with the idea of renting of renting out hte place for private parties....(but that would be expensive (have to consider the amount of business lost) due to being basically "closed to the public" and also the irritance factor as well - to those left out.
you might want to have several "party rooms" with like up to 8 player "stations" per room that can be rented out for this purpose. That still leaves the other party rooms and the main area free to the public.
another idea would be to allow each party room to form as a clan to take on the other party rooms in contests.
like every first and third saturday from 8-10 p.m. it would be "Clan Night" with memberships, discounts, etc.
you could serve simple foods (if you wnated to go that route) and also sell gaming merchandise as a side.
there are several avenues you could take on this...depends on your location location location and what is the latest "craze"
anyway..that is some simple advice....
GOOD LUCK!! sounds fun!
thats a great idea!Originally posted by AloneInTheDark
Your chalk full of ideas...the greatest idea ever.
That would be a good place to hang out. Like a bowling alley, and no one would get bored of it. It would be like an arcade. And a suggestion...when a new game comes out you could do like a private gaming room contest where you can have people play it before its out in your gaming rooms....maybe even give people the game. You could probally give the idea to ms after you do it (so no one takes your idea) and maybe get some recignition...who knows you might be known across the world
how about this one:
what you do is lets say a game comes out called "Clanwar X" (multiplayer fragfest)....what you do is you advertise a contest in one month, with prizes given away to the top players (or teams) . this generates interest. THEN, what you do is you sell the game "Clanwar X" at your place (and your sales will go up because people will want to play the game to practice for the tournemnt)
PLUS..they will log more hours playing the game in-shop to practice as well.
It wouldnt hurt to try those approaches.
Hey, if you are ever in the porltand, Oregon area and want to hire someone to help with business, i'd jump at the chance..i have decent ideas and I'd work hard to make the business a success
i think it would be fun (and hopefully porfitable) for a group of hardcore addicts to get together as a business group to do something.
well...we can dream..right?
That would rock.Originally posted by AloneInTheDark
We should make our own clan, and when xbox live comes around we could all get together and beat everyone else...we would be like the XBAclan
"Are you mice......or...are...you ADDICTS!!! CHARRRGGGEEE!!!"
<trumpets blaring....weapons clanging.....blood running....and the skies turning black with the ashes of our fallen foes>
this is a good idea cause i love playing multiplayer on halo(not with my brother tho)and if you made a match with infinet grenades then there would be explosions everywere
I'd do it for $5: but three is great where you doing this if you did?
off topic a moment...my last post (the quote above) part of my post was cut off, edited out....by xba?Originally posted by symposiumx

please tell me why this was edited, I don't think I swore or wrote anything bad?? I would liek ot know so that I can know where to 'draw the line' thanks!
on topic...I would assume this place would be set up in colorado (assuming that is where this post's originator is located at).
No reason that multiple ones couldnt be set up in every major city in the world though....right?
in the future we dont have sports championships anymore. we have virtual online sporting matches hahahaha

I just figured you were like cousins or something.
"this is my brother daryl and my other brother daryl"
I would definately go but you only have one problem. Start it up in Wilkes-Barre Pa not Colorado.
Only DORKS would go to a place like that.
I'M THERE!!!!

questions on this.
Would it be a "LAN' with XBOX's or with PC's? Xbox's would be limited on games availible wouldnt they?
I would relaly love to open a place like this in Portland. I spent most of yesterday thinking about how to make it work.
AM I the only one drooling over the possibility of this?
