Frankly for me neither make much sense right now. Pinball machines are $5k+, arcade games are $1k, an Xbox One or PS4 is $200...and you can get 100's of more hours entertainment out of the console. I've just been taking money off the table period.

Quoted from Nexyss:$300 Switch, and a $600 guitar have been used more in two months than all of my pins and vids from the last decade. I basically take up one of the best spaces in the house, and about $30k in games, to play when guests come over. Probably not worth it, but they are fun at parties.
That's about where I've gotten to, they're used at parties but I rarely play them currently. I played a ton of Rocksmith (real guitar + xbox = super fun) a couple years ago before I had some physical issues with playing too much, lol (I was playing every night for an hour or two).
Quoted from Nexyss:My left hand feels crippled most mornings when I wake up. I have been learning to play for 10 weeks now. I am hoping the pain goes away eventually. lol
Mine was caused by poor posture I think, sitting in a recliner while playing and then doing it every day. Got a cyst the size of golf ball on my left wrist, had to have surgery to have it removed. Haven't played much since though I desperately want to.
