I decided to cancel my Big Lebowski preorder so I have some extra cash in the pinball budget. Which game would you buy for around $8000? My favorite game is WOZ and my second favorite game is TZ so I am obviously a JJP/Lawlor fan but I haven't played DI and am not a fan of the theme and appearance. MM is widely known as one of the greatest games of all time and is also beautiful and a lot of fun.

I am leaning one way but am looking for input that will confirm or contradict that. Thanks!

I was honestly leaning towards MMr but I made this thread because I was honestly torn. Despite my insistence that I would never buy it due to theme, my interactions with JJP and the 3 fantastic games of theirs I currently own, along with the comments here, would lead me to believe I'd be happier with DI. Perhaps I'll get an LE. That blue powder coating is pretty sweet looking!

I think this is a good idea for the reason you mention and three reasons beyond that:
1. JJP tends to release cool new LEs of their games later on. I might like that DI more.
2. Buying DI later allows me to get a polished game with all of the kinks worked out (or at least most of the kinks).
3. I might just get both if I like the MMR enough!

Plus, it gives me some time to actually play DI before I decide if I want it.

Thanks everyone! The decision has been made.

If you are talking to me, I already have a GB Pro and enjoy it very much. I have played the Premium/LE and while they are better than the Pro, they weren't enough better to me to justify the much higher price.

I have considered The Shadow but I haven't ever gotten a chance to play it. It is on my want list as well.

I think I might end up owning both.

Wow, what an interesting revival of my old thread. I have a DI LE and a MMr now and love both. I prefer the MMr and that will probably never leave my collection (it is my wife's favorite game) but the DI LE is unlikely to go anywhere for a long time either.

BTW, JJPOTC is a fantastic game!
