I’m sure the game will boot up and play just fine. It’s not that old. But what’s with the buyer being responsible to confirm any available factory warranty? The OP needs to take on some ownership and provide some customer service at this price point. The OP should be checking with Stern to see if they’ll provide support. Not dropping that in this buyer’s lap. In any case, I’d be super surprised if Stern gives any warranty support for a pin that’s been sitting in a warehouse all this time.
