I have to admit I am really enjoying mine, I got it on trade as well + cash for a Stern machine I had listed. It is well made and the light show is impressive. I figured I could always sell it so thought I'd play it for awhile, but it is a pretty fun game so it will stay around for awhile.
I was going to order a CE but the reviews were so terrible I changed my mind. Odd how it got so much hate, guess I'll have to play them first in the future because I really don't know why this title garners so much hate, other than its high price tag (which I think we can thank the flippers for that).
