I don't think I will be getting an iPad, but I couldn't help but smile when I saw this.
ThinkGeek :: iCade - iPad Arcade Cabinet (http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/iCade.shtml)
Just seeing it makes me want to buy a big vertical monitor and plug Space Invaders, Galaga, and Donkey Kong into it =).

Saw this. Looks cool if it's responsive, but I am willing to bet I would have trouble keeping it in one place.

if i could afford one of those, it would be AWSOME to play older games like arcade

That thing is PIMP. I want one for my office at work!
The glossy screen will take away some of the realism and if you don't need the iPad for any other reason then you could make this yourself much cheaper. But if you already have an iPad then pretty cool accessory.

April Fools. Turns out it was fake.
How the fake "iCade" could become a reality for the iPad (http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/04/how-the-fake-icade-could-become-a-reality-for-the-ipad.ars)
iCade iPad arcade cabinet release “a possibility” say ThinkGeek - SlashGear (http://www.slashgear.com/icade-ipad-arcade-cabinet-release-a-possibility-say-thinkgeek-0280092/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+slashgear+%28SlashGear%29&utm_content=Google+Reader)
Also if you hit the "Buy" button on the first page you get laughed at =P.
Had me fooled big time lol.
