Half-Life 2 in arcades?

[Doofus]

I popped open my Gmail inbox today only to find a few stories about how a Japanese arcade company got rights to sell Half-Life 2 Cabinets, Not much news other than that, but the news article did say this:

Currently, three modes have been announced. You can enjoy the game alone in the story mode, or you can team up with players in other arcades, via network connection, to play cooperatively. And, of course, there's a versus mode where you can fight against players in other arcades as well.

Sounds pretty interesting to me, full news articles below:

Apparently a multiplayer HL2 game, and a Coop version of HL2 will be playable. One of the articles also mentions that it'll be one of the arcades you sit inside (cockpit style) with a widescreen and 5.1 surround.

That's news to me.
