Quoted from o-din:

Unfortunately for me, I prefer the CE.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Do you really think their goal was to "show up Stern?"
Maybe they just wanted to make a cool pinball machine, and that's what they did.
When you base your entire design philopsphy on "showing up Stern" you get a touchscreen lockdown bar with pointy edges and a game that doesn't actually work.
Give JJP a little credit here. I'd like to think after 10 years "showing up Stern" isn't a company design edict.

Quoted from delt31:

N'ah. They just wanted to show up the industry leader by providing more for your money. Shake up the Stern army, like you.
Glad to see so we have some competition. It will only make the industry better.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

No he doesn’t. He’s another clueless noob, like you.
When the goal of your pinball company is to “own stern,” you get deep root.
When the goal of your company is to turn a profit, you get something like GNR.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

The GNR standard and LE still blow away anything Stern offers for nearly the same price. I'm just disappointed to see a gameplay feature reserved only for the CE, thats BS at these prices.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

The funny thing is this is a GNR thread and all you and the noob army want to talk about is Stern.
Not me. GNR looks awesome, can't wait to play it.

Quoted from Hazoff:

I have to ask.
Why isn't good enough to love the look of this pin and be happy its being made, why is it important to knock Stern? I really want to know. I mean u get these comments "gary sterns office door is closed today" and "it makes Sterns look like toys" now I agree this looks good and I'm happy for JJP and GnR fans but why? Its has nothing to do with being a Stern fanboy or anything because I'm not. Enlighten me kind sirs.
I will say I think JJP is very wise to include the SE model for not that much more than a Stern pro, personally its the one I like the most and is a real possibility for me even though I'm not a huge GnR fan.

Quoted from sunnRAT:

I think people gotta feel like they belong to something, so they "take a side" and fire shots like for whatever reason. I dunno.
Kinda silly when people turn into cheerleaders and play turf war among... pinball companies.
Also, don't forget i'm sure someone will still cry for "more innovation!" Boo hoo!
Now, I gotta say, this GNR looks pretty sick. Can't wait to try it out. From what I see, Jersey Jack really did some creative things. This really looks like a true rock band pinball machine. Plus, when you compare the major rock bands that are still remaining and eligible for a potential pinball theme, Guns n' Roses was the best choice out there. Now please make a Judas Priest!

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Jeez! Give a noob a little attention and they latch on like a Pomeranian!
Play it cool kid! I see ya!
