    Quoted from Breaking_Dad:

    I'll use MET as an example....if you wanted the hammer go prem...if you want your plaque go LE......but why do I have to go prem or LE to get spinners....price is what the price is...it's these little things that I think is the messed up part.............Joey

    Pinstortion.

    They wouldn't make the pro if they didn't make money on it. Stern just likes to extort folks into paying 1.5K more for the prem so customers are "encouraged" to buy a product with a much more attractive profit margin.

    Quoted from toyotaboy:

    but they have no reason to so long as people keep shelling out money.

    People shell out money until they don't. I haven't bought a Stern for a long time. Came very close a few times, and they've made some machines I really really want, but still I haven't. Now if prices were a little more in line with what they are delivering, you can be damn sure I'd have a few of the new Sterns in my basement right now.

    Frankly I think the new game money is drying up fast. I hope I'm wrong, but what if I'm right...
