Today's w00t!![]() Excalibur Plug and Play 6 Player Texas Hold’em Poker And the description: As If There Weren’t Enough Poker On TV Already After we recovered from our initial infatuation with the Excalibur Plug & Play 6-Player Texas Hold ’Em Poker, after we stopped swooning over its spidery good looks and easygoing plug & play personality, a smidge of doubt crept upon us. Does it really make sense to drag this thing out on poker night instead of playing with real cards, the way Wild Bill Hickok did? Let’s stack them up against each other (not literally): Excalibur VR39 video poker: Easy plug & play setup. Regular old deck of cards: Ditto, except for the part about plugging. Excalibur VR39 video poker: 10 different poker games, including Texas Hold ‘Em. Regular old deck of cards: As many different poker games as your beer-sotted mind can think up, including Wisconsin Throwdown. Excalibur VR39 video poker: No computer or game console required; just hook up to a TV. Regular old deck of cards: No computer or game console required; also, no TV required. Excalibur VR39 video poker: Game unit provides realistic poker sound effects. Regular old deck of cards: Game players provide real poker sounds. Excalibur VR39 video poker: Early ‘90s-style, low-res video graphics. Regular old deck of cards: Timeless, high-res printed graphics. Excalibur VR39 video poker: Makes us money with each one we sell. Regular old deck of cards: Makes us jack, squat, diddly, zilch. There you have it! In all the ways that matter (to us), Excalibur Plug & Play 6-Player Texas Hold ‘Em Poker beats the old-fashioned competition. Buy one today – hot poker action has never been so pointlessly complicated! Warranty: One year |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

Ditto. Goodwills and Salvation Army shops will soon be flooded with them. |
