Get MM for 3 months. Play it, get bored of it, and buy a DI

I've played both about two weeks ago. I was able to play both for several hours. My pick is Dialed In. It is a blast to play! I will also admit when the game was revealed I didn't like the theme as well. But, once you play it you're hooked! It is not a cell phone theme, it is a city destruction theme. Like sim city. The phone merely is the mode selector.

MM is a great machine!! You know what you're getting. And, MMr is a brand new version of that.

But, I'm telling you, you have to play DI. It is amazing! Seeing pics and videos aren't the same. Anyone who has played it loves it. Those who haven't don't like it because of the theme.

Either way, you will have a great machine and will be happy though.

Definitely play DI before you make your decision. I like MM but DI is and feels 20 years more advanced. I've got a feeling that there is a lot more planned for it.

Di will hold your interest much longer, plus the quality is second to none like woz.

DI for days. MM is old stuff, get with the new!

Besides the powder coating, the main ramp is also lit on the LE's and not the standard version.

Id buy a MMR, play it for a year then sell and get a DI, there are still people waiting on their hobbits, you'll probably have to wait for at least quite a few months to get a DI.

WOZ is / was my favorite also! I have a MMRLE - love it - and planning on getting a Dialed too..... can't wait for them to ship.... I think they would look great together.

Me, DI is just TODAY and unlike anything before it cause it's JJP / MMR is great of course - #1 rated game for a reason, but it's nothing 'new'.

When you decide - contact us we'll give you great pricing on an MMR... We are also JJP distributors...

I'm seriously looking at DIE. The gameplay looks incredible. Joe, I'll likely be calling you.

When do or have the DI started shipping?

Ha! Exactly what I was going to say

According to who?
Jjp says second quarter, but look at their track record.

It's a different ballgame now - yes it was painful before... I had all my Hobbit pre-orders fulfilled in July. They started production and barely every stopped for anything - money, parts, etc... I am still thinking 2nd quarter is the target. I ask and that's what I'm still told. Shit happens though, one part can screw up the mix. The difference with DI is that Pat has been working with JJP for years now, designing this game... That's done. They have been working on it internally for quite a while - it wasn't like WOZ and Hobbit when they were announced and they were 'dreams'... This game was announced with 5 flawless prototypes being shows and beat up for days at Expo with zero issues... I've had them at PinballSTAR reveal parties and they performed perfectly. I've been told many parts were ordered in fall ahead of Expo.. Is every part there today - probably not, but I suspect they are going to be ready to roll soon. I hear no tales of worry from where I sit, very unlike WOZ and Hobbit situations where someone always had a concern about something. Those two games always had a black cloud on the horizon - but they got made and both are hits... So with DI being so far ahead of the curve of the other games, I expect no issues. Money is no issue either anymore...

Ill second that just heard second quarter is the target.

JJP DIst.

Good question, but you are comparing a proven champion to a game that's not currently available. (You can pay for it and not own it. I do not recommend pre-order). I have a Williams MM and it's a great game. MMR is also great and it's available for purchase, new and used, today. DI looks great and I'm excited about playing it at the upcoming Texas Pinball Festival. For my money, DI is a game to purchase in 2018 or after. Let someone else do the bug testing for you. Purchase it after the first games have been made.

Well said Nevus. I think many people are gun shy about preorder after all the fiascos in the past. I own 2 Lawlor pins, TZ and FH. I don't know what it is about his pins but I like them. I suspect I will like Dialed In in terms of game play although I don't like the name. I will play the pin first before buying. That is a must IMO.

MMr may be a great game but theres no way id give 8K for it. Ive never played DI but I eont think id want to pay the outrageous asking price for it either. I just got a GB Premium and ive never had so much fun playing pinball in my life, it is awesome! Id get GB personally.

I have not played GB. I guess I should take a look at that game before my next purchase. I do like Lawlor pins, the design seem to be a lot of fun for me. But I really should have an open mind

Get a Shadow and pocket 5k.

GB can be frustrating because you do get alot of short ball times but once you play it awhile things start to click and its a blast. I also own TWD and GOT which are both great pins, but I swear I think GB beats them both.

I agree about Ghostbusters Premium. I got one 2 months ago and love it. Great game!

The Dialed In videos look very interesting. I'd probably choose that over MMr, but the cost is pretty high for both. Looking forward to playing DI at TPF

Dialed In! Not even close, and I really enjoy the MM in my collection right now.

PL and JJP are going to knock DI! out of the park.

I got 3 games in on Dialed In at the Orlando Free Play show in 11/2016. They had 2 machines and long lines behind both of them. I stood by and watched other people play for a while. I was totally impressed by the game play, layout and how well everything worked together. Certainly one of the very best games ever made. Both machines held up without any problems during the show as far as I could tell. They were in constant use without any down time.
I heard some people bitching about the theme but nobody said anything negative about the game play or layout. $8+K is s steep price tag but this one might actually be worth it as opposed to some other recent releases by various manufacturers.

MMr Dialed In is a beautiful machine and well built but I just couldn't get into it MMr is
c lassic and proven winner.

Quite the punctuationless bump there, my friend.

Holy thread revival Batman!

Dialed In all the way! I don’t get it with MM??? It’s 20+ years old! Good game in its day, but why would you pick an old game over a 21st century modern game packed like DI? No depth to MMr, but tons of depth to DI. It’s like saying I prefer to drive my 20+ year old car versus a 2018 model. MMr is a very simple game and grows old quick. Boring 2 ramp shots over and over, or blast the castle. That’s it!!

Wow this is a tough one! MM is a great classic, on the other hand Dialed Is is a recent hit! I voted Dialed In, but both are very good and I have both!

no comparison, DI by a mile!

DI. MM is boring compared to DI.

Dear Everyone,

This is an old thread. The OP has both games in his collection now.

That is all.

-Me

Okay,then I vote, buy both of them.

Own both. DI would be my choice.
