Is there some fine print that Stern can use the application videos however they want? I wonder if they'll show any somewhere...
It would be great, if the winning application videos were installed in the machine for posterity. It should be recalled on the LCD as an easter egg by secret button sequence.
Would be hilarious to see those later...
Quoted from rotordave:If that was the case, the intelligent business decision for Stern would be to make a killer pin, and undercut the opposition, kill their sales and hopefully destroy their company.
Pricing your pin far more expensive than the oppositions (which some perceive to be a better presented product) only drives customers to buy the oppositions products.
Sort of Business 101 really ...

I've also wondered if they would do this at some point. They're the 800-lb gorilla of this industry, and have been cost-cutting for some time. They could easily absorb a significant price drop and deal the competition a possibly deadly blow.
But as of yet, it doesn't seem to make business sense to do so. Why drop prices when you can raise them and still sell more? Because the competition isn't a threat yet. No one has made any dent in Stern sales, they're still back-logged on deliveries despite price increases. If one day sales stagnate due to real competition, I'd still be on the watch for Stern to bring the hammer down.
Pump up, and sell out, before they get to that point is also a route that makes sense.
What's the word on the better audio? Is it just a different speaker package? Disappointed if that's all...
Quoted from kvan99:I have no idea why they partnered up with him other than the fact that he may have locked up the license. I think the crazy price is in part due to him getting paid. Stern had all the things they needed to make the game except the license....I guess.
I'm guessing Stern found a loophole to easy licensing. Possibly Kaminkow locked up the license for a number of years for his slots, but the license is broad enough to include other electronic/mechanical equipment. Easy to decision for Stern to team up and benefit from Kapow's licensing. I'd say look to other Kaminkow slots for where this might be going.
