Had the pleasure of jamming a pretty epic 4 player game on the LE. Started strong and then got spanked by ALL 3 other players! LOL.

I was pleasantly surprised with the flow of the PRO version and believe it or not was actually worried that the flow on the LE might not be as good with the mini playfield. Nothing to worry about in that department. There are several hidden diverters that keep the ball moving quickly and you're not "always" in the mini-pf like I thought you might be (a-la Wrestlemania). When you do hit the mini-pf it has several shots that take you back down to the main playfield so you don't spend too much time up there. All in all I thought it was a fun balanced game with a DEEP strategy / rule-set that will take players awhile to learn (hence the 5 page strategy guide PDF Stern released). Dwight did a great job with the ruleset!

I was actually just coming here to say this. Jumps in and out of that mini-pf pretty quickly. Sometimes it happened so fast I didn't even realize the ball was in the mini-pf. I bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on LE so you'll just have to come down and play it to make up your own mind

LOL, about as smooth as sandpaper but we definitely had a blast at that party (and all of expo!)

Dude you too!!! It was fun watching both you and Monkey dominate the tourney!!! Can't wait to check out the footage with commentary online

They changed it to chainmaille on the LE/Prem that they didn't unveil until the actual launch party at Expo. The new artwork looked good (but I didn't think the gradient looked bad on the pro either so whatev).

I was told that they changed the artwork (and added throne on the pro) due to customer demand / opinion. It was clearly too late to change the artwork on the pro so that is the way it is, and will be (with the silver gradient). However, IMO, you won't even notice the gradient because if you take your eye off the ball for a second you'll drain. It is a very "in your face" and fast game! Come over and play my LE in a month

You're absolutely right. The one in the hallway on dollar play definitely reset on us once or twice (when we activated a certain mode in the game). We talked with a Stern tech they had sent out who said it was game code related (NOT hardware / solenoid / low 5v e.t.c) and was updating the code. After that it worked fine with no resets as I recall.

Thanks for the reminder. It's about time to go re-flow the solder on my Tron trough optos

I have to agree. In pics it looked hideous but in person I had absolutely no problem with the art package and thought it looked and played great. (both pro & le)
