Finally got ahold of this one, its been on my grails list. Picked them up yesterday from a guy who bought it at an auction, not realizing how big they were til he got them home. He also couldnt figure out how to get them past the boot up screen because they were trying to connect via the optical cable, but one of the cables were ripped in half, hence the issue. Havent gotten it cleaned up yet, but its in pretty good shape. I've been looking for this for quite some time as my girlfriend fell in love with this game after playing it at Game Galaxy in Nashville.

Great score Jay! I'm getting ready to pick up a set that I paid for here in a week or two, and I can't wait. I hope that you're luckier than me, I'm going to have to seperate the standup portion from the floor portion to get it down my basement steps. Here's to hoping its just the bolts on the side and a few disconnects....

I had one of these, it is just a matter of bolts holding the top to the base. Just make sure you take your monitors out, even with them out the upper end is still top heavy, to the point it wants to tip over.

I couldn't give my machines away for free and had to trash em.
 
Used to love the crap out of this game. Was so excited when they released the last one for the 360...god, what a letdown.

It HAS to have the sticks or it ain't right. :|
 
Very very nice! Virtual On is my favorite game, I'm a total fanboy who has the figures and plushes and soundtracks and... I'm unhealthily obsessed honestly, but it's awesome to see the love spreading! Every one of my friends that has played it has become an addict, and some of them have gotten good enough to prove a threat to my ridiculous Dorkas skills...

Funny story, the optical cable on mine was cut too. Let me tell you, it was a PAIN to fix, the same thing had happened multiple times and there were at least four decoy cables sticking out of the machine that led to nothing inside but were attached to the other wires so they seemed legit! THAT was fun, trying to balance the chair on top of the game and reach under it to dig through a mess of wires to find the right one... took a few hours, and it was a nightmare, but it was so worth it.

I remember seeing those, but you were just a bit too far north for me my friend!

I tried selling them with 2 monitors at first even...for $300. I can't believe nobody bit, I wound up selling just one monitor for $200 on it's own.

Mind boggling, but they are huge and it was them or space for 2 pins...pins win. I gave it over 6 months before I finally got sick of having no space in my garage and took a sledge to em.

I've got 4 boardsets here and 4 CPs(1 busted stick on one), as well as the audio amps and optical cables etc, I just need to get around to testing the boardsets.

Well if I need any of those parts, I'll hit you up. I actually need the white backs to the seats, for some reason mine were removed...weird...
