First off, let me say thank you in advance. I'm sure you guys are sick and tired of the which should I buy threads, but this has me really stressed out and it's too much money not to at least try to get the best one. My thoughts/concerns:

*I know that Ghost Busters has had some quality control issues
*I've read in other threads that GB is a hard/challenging game and I'm not very good at pinball yet
*If I decide on a Star Trek I'm concerned about availability because there really don't appear to be many NIB left
*Star Trek's sound effects seem like they could get annoying, and I like the Ghost Busters theme song, but I'm more concerned with a fun playing pin.
*Star Trek is the better rated pin on the Pinside top 100 list.

Again thank you and any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah those are for Premium/LE games and I can't afford that. I know the Pro models are very different games because they are missing some features.

Quoted from Who-Dey:

If there is anywhere near you at all that has these machines....even if you have to drive a good ways, then go play them both for at least an hour each and make your decision. They are both great pins so your probably not going to go wrong with either really. Star Trek is a bit easier for sure but GB is a very fun experience also. Which theme do you like the best?

Unfortunately no, or at least not that I'm aware of. I've played Star Trek before at conventions but always very rushed and with so much noise I couldn't really hear the sound. I've never seen a Ghost Busters in person. Theme wise I think I prefer Star Trek but my wife prefers Ghost Busters.

Seriously... if you're in Pittsburgh or even Pittsburgh area, there are tons of places that have both of these games.

Such as?

Quoted from Orko:

I'm the OP from the other thread that is discussing this very issue but with the premium models. I plan on going to a pinball and arcade place two hours away to play both and put them both through there paces to make an educated decision. I believe playing them both any way you can will be the only way to tell which one you really want. After I have an opportunity to try both, I will share my thoughts with you.

Thank you I'd really appreciate that.

(Also sorry for the duplicate picture, for some reason, Pinside won't let me edit it out. Annoying. )

Just downloaded the app. It's awesome thanks for the heads up.

So did you get the GB yet? I didn't want to rehash my opinion in your thread, but I hope you got the opportunity to play them both first.

I did and we absolutely love it!
