I think it's more about the old school visual appeal, rather than what it costs. If you have a iPad sitting on a desk with a controller next to it no one will take a second glance. Have it sitting there looking like a mini Arcade machine and everyone is gonna be wanting to know what it is.
ie.. it's a conversation piece..
although that controller would be a sweet set up if anyone decided to build their own iCade. assuming it worked with the iPad.
