Has anyone played the CE before spending $12,500 on it? I hope so...

I've had great fun spending (much less than) £12.5k on arcade machines Wouldn't touch this overpriced wooden table though TBH. The last few years of overpriced pinball has been great for me, as I've got into other non-pinball hobbies. Even classic cars look cheap by comparison. I bought a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II for less than GNR CE. I hope the pinball bubble bursts, then I might return. Even MG was 'only' $16k! And BBB looks a bargain now. Crazy times... I guess the hedge funds are happy though, even if we aren't...

As a consumer, please remember- you can spend your money elsewhere.

I like pinball too

But I'm not a mug.

I'm a bit worried about the gameplay. The other issue which hasn't been the case before is that the LE isn't quite a 'complete' game. It always was previously, and this puts me off.

But once I've played this I'll make a decision about the LE, assuming they don't sell out too. So much for a global recession, eh?
