Folks, do you want to get better games at better prices and quicker delivery dates?

Then QUIT pre-ordering machines, especially when they do not even have a price! If I was selling and people would send money not even knowing what I wanted for the machine I would certainly raise the price. I did not send money for MMr until machines were int the hands of owners and I never will. Pinball is worse than crack for a lot of people.

Whether you have a lot of money or no money makes no difference in smart business. I'm sure JJ is a great guy/company and they will deliver. My point is that I read page after page about incomplete codes, crappy side art decals, bad play fields delays in getting games, etc and yet, people will stand in line to pre-order the same crap they are STILL griping about in the machines they pre-ordered before.

Why not be smart and hold back so that Stern and others GIVE you color hi-res graphics and COMPLETE code before buying another? Better yet, let someone else pay the $8500 price tag and play it a year/work out the bugs/see if code is complete and then buy theirs for $2000 less?

I just see no reason to plunk down cash when history shows it rarely pays off.
