They have BG3 at Boomers Arcade / Mini Golf / Karts / etc. in Irvine. I just got back from there, in fact. They have a domestic machine. The good is that it is hooked up to the web to allow internet play, and they have the special keys that allow you to save your cars. (And, even cooler, to go to a website from your PC and modlfy your car, all the way up to fully custom paintschemes!) The problem is the machine itself. The ergonomics are horrible. The shift knob is very small, and mounted low down. About 8 inches directly behind it is the E-brake, which, even when not in use, sticks up like when a real e-brake is in the park position. So, consequently, it prevents you from being able to use certain arm positions. The pedals are also mounted so that they swing down instead of forward, and are very close together, causing the player to accidentally hit both at once.

Arcade Infinity, in City Of Industry (I think, never been there myself) also has it. They have an imported JDM version, from what i've heard. They do not have the keys, and are not online. However, the JDM machines are much better designed, with a more realistic e-brake, a nice metal shift knob, etc.
