Quoted from RobT:Everyone keeps talking about it costing $9k, but it's actually more than that since that price does not include shipping.
10K before Christmas?

Quoted from PinballSTAR:Please tone it down or go elsewhere - this thread has been really good - everyone politely expressing their opinion and nobody's argued or been nasty. Chill or go post name calling shit like that elsewhere... Anyone is the hobby is doing good for all of us - including the manufacturers - both JJP and Stern. They all work hard and deliver great products. Is everything perfect no. Give them a chance. 187 bitching threads in my For Sale post just trying to do my job and yours was the first that was distasteful. Everything you buy someone made a buck on it, and I assume you have a job doing something where you or your employer made a buck. Chill out with the name calling, not cool.
There is some truth to what he posted. IF JJP priced DI at a cool million bucks per game obviously they would sell MAYBE 1 or 2, and probably not recoup their development costs and lose money.
Obviously the consensus is 9K for Dialed In seems steep within the US, and is ludicrous internationally considering other countries seem to (Gasp!) pay taxes on their purchases and have the exchange rate to deal with. And the 12K super LE or whatever is just off the charts offensive, along with the limiting the LE's to "only 7K units" (especially IF those somehow sold out another special edition would find its way out).
Did they cross a line? We will have to see. To me the game looks interesting enough that I would happily play it (I enjoy all pinball eras, including the future ). But 9K US converted into Canadian dollars, +12% tax is so far from my price point it is not even funny. May as well be 50K for home users at that point. I am more than priced out.
Quoted from PinballSTAR:Although I sympathize, I don't understand all you UK guys beating up on everyone over here for your own country's taxes. Don't you have elections ? What do you expect a US company to do about UK taxes on imports ? March on Parliament... I know it sucks and I feel bad for you guys. I have to ask is this something new - it seems there's a lot of chatter about it lately but I've never really heard complaints before about this 20% VAT tax. I don't sell to UK regardless not sure why you would post here.
Yeah, that would be the most impressive march on parliament ever... wealthy gentlemen demand pension cuts [or insert other program here] to make their luxury toy purchases less expensive? That's not exactly the stuff revolutions are made of .
Quoted from Lermods:Time will tell what the effect of these high prices will be on pinball, but i see little reason to be complaining. You dont like the price, dont buy it. Enough people share that view, price will fall.
There is no arguing with this logic, but it is at least a bit fun to discuss.
The price is the price; buy it or don't.
But if entire sections of the global market seem to be dropping off, maybe the price really is too high. We'll all find out within a year I guess.
And :
That's a proper level of snarkiness I think?
