Don't we get splash screens every now and then when the machines are in "attract" mode? I remember seeing this on the original SF Rush machines. Haven't been in an arcade since then, though. Of course, if folks are lining up to play them, they aren't in attract mode for very long.

<< ...after reading that, decided to bite the bullet and shell out the $250 to pre-order a 3500. >>

FYI, if you go to the AGN3D site, it has the full text of the post that the Voodoo Extreme quote was ripped from. It continues on to say:
"For those of you thinking about getting a Voodoo3, the cards should be shipping by the end of the month and I was told that our favorite store buy.com has the 2000 for $99 and the 3500 for $207! No misprints there, just cheap cheap cheap (Kind of like me ;p)"

I verified that buy.com does in fact list the 3500 for that price on their web site ($207.95 actually, but who's counting?).
