Looking for a way to make your game room really special? Look no further than these original 3-dimensional arcade artworks by sign maker Melissa Jones.
Melissa creates original wood carvings of classic arcade characters, then creates a resin casting of the original and hand paints each one with bold acrylic colors.
Her arcade designs include classics like Donkey Kong, Galaga, Robotron 2084, Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Q*Bert and Burgertime among others.
Prices for individual castings range from about $20 to $60 a piece, but complete sets with a matching canvas backdrop run from $225 to $375. But for about $2000, you can deck out your entire room with this complete collection.
She’ll also do custom orders on request. Check out Melissa’s entire collection over on her site NiceCarvings.

Remember that soundbar from Polk Audio we spotted last year? We certainly hope you’ve been saving those pennies if you instantly considered yourself in the market for one, because Polk’s mighty proud of it. Debuting officially at CES, the SurroundBar 360 DVD Theater is a two-piece surround sound system that includes a single “multi-channel loudspeaker” alongside a separate console that houses a DVD / CD player, SDA (Stereo Dimension Array) signal-processing amplifier, AM / FM radio and a host of inputs. ‘Course, whether or not you’ll really feel immersed by sound is debatable, but at least you can look forward to 1080i DVD upconversion, an HDMI output and a gaping hole (known in this example as $1,199.95) in Sir Wallet.

As far as these surround sound bars go, Yamaha seems to have made quite the name for itself, but it looks like Polk Audio is offering up another iteration in its own lineup to compete. The SurroundBar 360 DVD Theater features a single 44-inch long speaker that purportedly provides a 5.1-channel experience “using patented SDA technology.” Furthermore, the system looks to come with a dedicated DVD console, but we’ve no idea if the pair will ever be offered up separately. No word on price / availability at the moment, but we’re expecting Polk to spill the rest of the beans sooner rather than later.

You can’t run around launching fancy new music players these days without a secondary offensive of cases and car chargers following close behind, and Microsoft’s new Zunes have a veritable calvary behind them. In addition to the official accessories we’ve already heard about from J Allard and crew, the company’s lined up a number of third-party manufacturers to crank out 60 different Zune-friendly products, including Polk, Belkin, DLO, Monster, Altec Lansing, Targus, iHome, Memorex and Griffin. Microsoft’s new pals will be releasing everything from speaker docks to RCA cables, so it looks like you’ll be able to build a happy little home for that new Zune of yours when it launches next month.

Those looking to add a little Sirius content to their home theater system now have yet another option from Polk Audio in the form of its new SR-H1000 receiver, which will also let you spread those satellite signals to other rooms in your house. That latter feature is made possible with the separate SC-H1 Home Connect Tuner, which you can also hook up to any old TV to view song and channel information. According to Electronic House, the main unit will also store up to 44 minutes of content with its Instant Replay feature, and it boasts so-called Game Alert and Game Zone feature to ensure you don’t miss a minute of your favorite games. While there doesn’t appear to be any word on how much extra the Home Connect Tuner will cost, the main SR-H1000 unit will reportedly set you back about $350 when it’s released sometime this month.
