    It matters a lot when buying NIB (especially at today's prices...).
    It matters less when buying older games at bargain prices.

    I love my WPT, paid less than $2k for it. Poker does nothing to me, and BG artwork is... hum... how to say it gently?
    And yet I love it.

    But no way I would have bought that game NIB...

    Quoted from o-din:

    For any machine that costs over $1500, theme certainly does matter.

    Totally agree with this... or to rephrase it: below a certain threshold (around $2k for me) theme does not matter as much.

    I own a WPT (poker is not a theme for me) and yet I love the game. No chance I would have bought a NIB Wheel of Fortune, but if I can find one for 2000 euros, I would probably buy it (and I can't think of a worse theme).
