KontrolFreek giving away a $2,000 arcade machine photo

Have a really sh*tty game room? Good, because KontrolFreek wants to hook you up. Take a picture of your disgusting setup, send it to KontrolFreek and you may just end up winning a Rcade Cabinet valued at $2,000. Once submitted, get your friends and family to vote for your horrible excuse of a living situation. That is if you're not too embarrassed to let your loved ones see pictures of your house.

Runner-up winners will win the new Mortal Kombat or discounts on KontrolFreek products, like their new analog joystick adapters called the Rcade Freek that mimic arcade-like joysticks. I haven't used KontrolFreek adapters yet but I have friends that swear by the other analog stick adapters, especially when it comes to the first-person shooters.

The Kontrol Freak adaptors I got for my PS3 controller have turned it into a functional controller. No more thumbs slipping off the analog sticks for me! It's not quite as comfortable as an XBOX controller but it does make Killzone 3 actually playable.

Ive heard that these extentions are good for FPS games but for 2D arcade games which is what this product is aimed at would be useless. Since all these games are designed with for a 8 way arcade stick which the analog stick with its 360 degree movement just cant replace, even with these adapters.

Its a crying shame that so many gamers continue to use analog sticks even when it severly hampers them rather then spend the time getting used to playing with a dpad or arcade stick. It doesnt help that so many control pad manufactuers also think the dpad is only used for weapon selection in FPS games and so make their analog pads with shockingly poor build quality.

To anyone thinking of buying this for 2D gaming I say save your cash and go buy a specialist dpad only controller or an analog stick.

Got the FPS Freaks and love them. Hard to game without them now. I prefer them when playing 2D platformers and fighting games as well. Not hampered at all.

I hate these contests that are only available to people with the most pathetic <whatever>. Giving away an arcade cabinet is awesome! Having a contest is cool. Winning for having the crappiest setup is lame. I'd much rather have them just choose a random winner.
