Hello, I have a idea that combines two favorite business, coffee shop and video games. My idea is combine these two business together. People are enjoying coffee with computers and books, why not video games? the gamecafe will be similiar to a cybercafe. There will be a secion to get your coffee and bake goods, the rest of the cafe will be filled with stations to play video games. The stations will have either (playstation, ps2, dreamcast, xbox, gamecube consoles) these will be hooked up to the Zenith flat screen monitors, perfect for gameplay with crystal clear picture and stereo sound.

Customers will get a cup of coffee, bake good, a copy of a game they want for a paticular console ,then go to the station where that particular console is located. The price would be around $2.00-$5.00 a hour playtime. We will sell and rent console and pc games, peripherals, and strategy books..

What u think, all responses positive or negative would be appreciated...

       I've seen internet cafes offer network gaming on their PCs after their business got slack. However a potential problem with actual consoles is that controllers and other prehipherals are not designed for security and they could be easily stolen.

       1. Use arcade games, not console games. That's what they're for -- taking abuse and consuming quarters (or dollars, these days).   

       2. Sell pizza, soda, and beer, not coffee and croissants. Target your demographic.
