I'm very interested in trying to get one of these games... I'm just wondering whether it's worth trying to find an LE, or if a pro is so near to the LE on playability that it's not worth the pain of trying to track down an LE?

What are the playing differences between the pro and the LE?

I love the 3D translite... is that on both the pro and the LE?

Does the ceramic ball play a big role in the LE?

I'd love an LE if I can find one, but there were so few made that I feel it's gonns be a real struggle to find one!

Thanks!

I did start reading all the posts in this thread, and couldn't find a lot on gameplay differences between the two versions... There was a lot about mods, and I read all posts up to about page 5... I have to admit I kind of speed read/fast forwarded the last two pages on the assumption I wasn't going to find anything... Maybe I should read those pages in the hope of finding details of what role the ceramic balls plays in the LE

This is what attracted me to the game a lot... that 3D translite is superb... are you sure that's only on the LE? If so, is there anyone doing these as upgrades to the pro?

I see now that I should NOT have FFWD the last two pages

Thanks for the clarification... sounds like I'll not bust a gut trying to find the LE then... reading more recent posts (just above where I made my initial query!) it seems that the Navi ball, as some have said, just un-balences the score... so there's no additional modes on the LE? I read somewhere that there were (but can't find where I read this). It's just a case of when the Navi ball comes into play, it has some score doubling potential? No change in strategy when that ball is in play?

I now know where I read that the LE has more modes... and reading it again I can see I actually mis-read it, it says the LE has more models!! doh!

Now what I'm all confused about is this statement about the LE:

"New game rules and software is added to operate the new playfield devices and features."

Anyone know exactly what this means??

So does anyone know what the "New game rules and software is added to operate the new playfield devices and features." relating to the LE version means?

Does it just mean the double scoring of the Navi ball, and the associated 'new rules' and software to make that happen, plus the software needed to open and close the pod and animate the amp suit feet, or is there something else that these 'new game rules' means?

Thanks for any input.

Does that mean that on the LE, when the ceramic ball is in play you actually lose some functionality regarding interaction with magnets, but to counter that get double scoring, or does the LE somehow compensate for the ceramic ball regarding magnet interaction that's not in the code on the pro?
