The price increase is cheaper than buying a color dmd for the game. The couple hundred bucks is well worth the display they put on these games plus coloring direct from the factory. Its amazing that people cry about every little price increase and never look at what your gaining in return. What other business does not increase prices year after year? What is it a 3% increase?
The code complaints are valid as well as the ghosting complaints, I agree that at no matter what the price they should be providing a product that is more finished, however they do eventually make it right. If your not okay with that journey than do not buy.
