Quoted from Khabbi:

will these start shipping in a few weeks?

Quoted from Neal_W:

With the quality of console / PC / handheld / arcade game graphics, the bar is very high. If game animations are not up to standards, it looks like an eyesore and distracts from the gameplay. I know, the game is on the playfield, but don't expect me to put that game in my game room.
Sterns Aerosmith animations remind me of a Rock Band / Guitar hero clone. Rock Bands animations fall flat compared to Guitar Hero, and Sterns Aerosmith graphics (and Batman 66) would need to go some to catch up with those.
I can understand why Stern was hesitant to include a color screen. The awkward looking graphics are off putting and unfortunately are not going to lure new players to pinball. That being said, I don't find the JJP animations off putting, although JJP uses mainly an graphical info screen more than classic DMD animations.
These old GH Aerosmith graphics are nothing special, but are an example of what could have been done. Aren't they friends with the guys at Raw Thrills (Big Buck Hunter games, etc)? Imagine what the talent at Raw Thrills could do with Batman 66 or Aerosmith graphics??
I hope someone at Stern is reading this!!!

Quoted from Deez:

Why is everyone so negative? Be happy someone is still making new games!

Quoted from Deez:

6200 and Lonnie Roop the flop on code. Kiss 2.0 here we come. Can't wait to quote this comment next year when the code is still garbage.
It's a shame cause I think the art and layout look neat. I just have lived this story already.
Hard pass.

Quoted from Kkuoppamaki:

The toys toy was nice, the ball flying into the box was a nice gimmick although on the pro it kept on missing it all the time.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Just because your increase is more, doesn't change our point. If I wasn't on Pinside I wouldn't have to listen to Canadians, Brits, and men at works telling me how much they pay I still wouldn't be happy.

Quoted from QuickSilverShelby:

I get so tired of non US residents crying about the unfavorable exchange rate. What were you all doing in 2009 and 2010 when the US dollar tanked and US housing was a complete train wreck??? Seriously, this is the way the economic world works. There are ups and downs and when the US was in the tank 7 years ago you should have been buying US dollars, US real estate, US stocks or even pinball machines. You could have capitalized on the weak US dollar at the time and you would be reaping the rewards today.
Instead we get post after post after post of people crying "I can't get my big boy toy as cheap as you Americans can get your big boy toy".
Jeeze, gimme a break

Quoted from QuickSilverShelby:

Are you not complaining about the price that Americans pay?????

Great, you've done well when the American economy tanked. You've prospered on the difficulties that were encountered when there were tough times in the US. Yet, you now complain because your on the wrong side of the fence......"You guys in the US crack me up complaining about a couple of hundred bucks here and there. Everybody else around the world has taken a 40% or more price hike over the last three years."
You brag that you can plough tens of thousands of dollars into all things pinball and in the next breath you bitch and complain about the fact that you have to pay more than US citizens. So which is it??? Your so well off it doesn't matter or your just jealous that pins cost less in the ole US of A??????
Well, what form of hypocrisy are you selling friend???
QSS

Quoted from QuickSilverShelby:

Listen friend, I'd love to drink some beer with ya, maybe some rum as well. Maybe we can meet up at some point in the future.

Quoted from Eskaybee:

I'm in for Aerosmith..

Quoted from RobT:

Even if CDs don't sound better than vinyl, it's just not worth the extra effort that is required to get the quality out of the vinyl.
In practical application, vinyl will often sound worse than CD, with the various pops/crackles that come from static. I used the anti-static gun (Zerostat) and everything and it was still a challenge. I gave up on vinyl years ago. I have some SA-CD and DVD-A discs that sound incredible, but for the most part, I am still pretty happy with CD.
