Were there ever Xbox- or Xbox 360-based arcade cabinets?

OP
I have a memory of one time when I was fairly young where, on a road trip, we stopped at either a McDonald's or a Burger King which had an arcade cabinet that seemed to be either Xbox-based or Xbox 360-based. It played the startup screen for either the original Xbox or the 360 before playing the game when you inserted money, I think? I haven't been able to find anything online about any system like this, so I'm not sure if it's just a false memory or something. Does anyone know if something like this ever existed?

Yes, in the town with my 2nd home there's an arcade machine with some 360 soccer game - the controllers are simply enabled for some time proportional to how much you pay, and a single digit LCD on top shows percentage of time remaining - definitely not a mass manufactured product!

Also, I saw a Kinect machine in the Taito arcade in Shinjuku two augusts ago - can't remember the game but it was on the floor with all the music ones

This one maybe? http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/tgs91_thumb.jpg

I recall there being some at a festival in mexico that I was at like 9 years ago. they had gta iv, racing and some fighting games. iirc they were timed with the controllers shutting off when time ran out.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
