    So, I don't get it. Everytime I have ever seen ANYONE say:
    "HUO under 100 plays" "less than 30 plays" blah, blah, blah

    I think in my head, what a load of sh*t.

    I mean, I get a new game, I play it more than 20 time in the first frigging hour. And you mean to tell me you have had this game for 2,3,4,10, more years, and it has only ever had 30 games put on it? Clearly you didn't like the game , so why have you held onto your $4000 Brand new game, for so long.

    Maybe I am missing something, or maybe it really is just as much BS as I think it is...

    sorry, i just had to vent about this.

    Quoted from VolunteerPin:

    I agree. If this is response to my question about the HUO POTC I don't necessarily buy it either. I've had my Tron since march and don't feel like it gets played much. Ran an audit the other day.....over 1200 plays. Very easy to be deceived. I would have guessed maybe 400-500.

    You aren't wrong in your assumption. It just drives me crazy sometimes, I see these claims pretty often and I just tend to wonder "how is that even possible"

    Quoted from BoJo:

    who are you to question me and call it BS if I was going to sell one of these tomorrow and say it has under 100 plays?

    Maybe I am the guy who is going to buy it.

    Now, I'm not saying it's impossible. In fact, I did say

    So maybe you can fill me in... Why buy a game, and barely play it for years?

    Quoted from BoJo:

    In my situation I didn't buy them with intentions of not playing them, but made a promise to myself that I would remodel my gameroom first so they could all be setup nicely for enjoyment otherwise I knew it would never get done. It's a pet pieve of mine when I see someone who has a pinball collection of 10-100K in machines but their gameroom looks like a dungeon. But over the past few years more important things came up in my life and finishing the gameroom was put on the back burner. So when I get my games I typically wrap them up and put them in storage. Someday when my gameroom is done and they are all setup I expect to put a ton of plays on them and make up for lost time, trust me. But unfortunately for now they have to sit idle. I know my situation is not the norm but just wanted to show how it can happen. Even though I know I cannot play my games I still buy them when I find a title I want because there is no guarantee I will be able to get the ones I want down the road when my gameroom is done.

    Thanks for a well put-together response. But what's everyone else's excuse!

    Maybe they only every turned it on roughly 20,30,40 times. But put on 5-10 games a time? Maybe they just can't count... realistically, I don't think the world will ever know.
