Quoted from pinballinreno:I would love to get a brand new AFM that I can play the heck out of and not worry about damaging my precious collectors item, or even route if i so desire, and get the spare parts I need to make it new again over and over.
I'm 100% the opposite. Buying an AFM 14 years ago for 1/4 the price a remake will go for, I'd be more afraid to play an $8,000 game. I've never spent more than half that on any game I have. Mine has been trouble free all the years I've had it. But really, in the end, I'm not a remake buyer anyways, so there's that.
