Quoted from RedPlunger:

Thanks everyone. I guess I’ll hold off on TNA until it becomes a rabbit hole for me. What does everyone think of Iron Man compared to GoT and Deadpool?
Also, the only reason I was considering new was there doesn’t seem to be too much of a difference between new and used price wise. While saving $1000 or more is always a good thing, it didn’t seem like much of a savings from a new machine.

Iron man is generally considered a good game by the community. They are all newer sterns and you probably won’t be disappointed with any of them. Which one is best for you is going to be personal preference.
As for buying new vs used, it’s a crapshoot. The benefits are; you can see/play the game and make sure it doesn’t have any issues before owning it, and the price will be at least a few hundred less. However, the time and cost associated with getting a game can sometimes add up to the difference. Plus opening a new game delivered to your door is a nice experience.
Finally, call a few distributors and ask for pricing. New Stern games don’t actually cost what the MSRP is. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Good Luck! If you run into problems just ask on pinside and I’m sure you’ll be able to get help.
