Here's my take on it. I personally think Both games are good but I like GOT better, but SW is your dream theme so it's hard not to go with your dream theme right? Also with SW you get your dream theme and the new LCD display which is pretty awesome. The only thing that scares me about SW right now is there does "possibly" seem to be a problem with ghosting on the playfields. If it were me and I wanted a SW I think I would hold off for awhile and see if the playfields are good quality or not because at this point I'm not sure if they are or not.

Wouldn't ghosting be a potential issue with a NIB GOT Pro as well, assuming that they've made more recent runs of playfields? Not saying this issue should be determinative on ordering a NIB Stern at all, just questioning whether GOT or other current titles are any safer than SW.

If you do go GOT consider getting a HUO. There are probably a good number out there in great shape, already dialed in, for a decent bit less than NIB pricing.

Yes code is complete.
Playfield will get some dimplings for sure unless you install a PP. perhaps ghosting but this game is not really known to have this issue, at least as GB
Been said, GoT Pro and GoT Premium are 2 different games, Pro is fast and furious otherwise Premium is more various.

I would say it's probably code complete. That doesn't mean it won't get one final polish maybe but I'd say it's probably complete if I had to guess. GOT is really a fantastic game and it's also considered to be one of the best values out of all the Pro models.

If your wife wants GOT then that is another good reason to get one. Nothing better than having your wife into playing pinball with you. A wife who loves pinball means more games for you down the road! I would personally get the Pro model also, it's a great great game.

Ghosting is a potential issue on any game I guess but GOT seems to be pretty safe. There have been a few issues of ghosting reported but nothing like there was on GB or even SW so far IMO.

I would recommend Game of thrones Pro highly! Dont really like the premium.
But havent played star wars yet, so dont know how it is except i heard its game of thrones on steroids =)

You can't really compare Star Wars at this point because the code is really in beta still. Either one would probably be a good pick. Remember you can always sell it or trade it later down the line.

Sounds like a great plan both of them

I prefer Game of Thrones by a good margin right now. The code is so much more focused and cohesive. The different houses in Game of Thrones provide more variety in the game's progression than the characters do in Star Wars, as well. Star Wars, for most, will be the better theme, but I think Game of Thrones has the better layout and code.

Take the 400 mile drive down to Lost Levels in Fullerton, CA and play them both. I was in the Anaheim area last week and did just that.

I played GoT LE previously and couldn't get into it. I've been trying to warm up to GoT ever since. I think the call outs on GoT pro are very light. I haven't read up on playing strategy and kinda didn't know what to do for the first couple of games.

The SW pro I played had a lot more fan appeal (I'd say I'm equally into both GoT and SW from a fan standpoint).

In short, I think GoT is built for long haul games (20+ minutes) to get satisfaction where SW can give you something in a 3-4 minutes - which is more inline with my pinball skill level.

I also think GoT did a mild disservice by coming out before the show/books are over... When House Tyrelll came up and I was like wait, they don't exist anymore... but that's an entirely different discussion.

I have both GOT and SW pro, Star Wars to me is my dream theme and with the new display and the sound its incredible!! If i had to choose right now I would sell GOT to keep SW, SW is freaking hard as heck though, Good grief!!!
Will say out of the 2 GOT is much easier with wider shots, SW has narrow hard shot, Code on GOT is complete and game rocks for sure, Thank goodness i dont have to choose and get to keep both
