Keith and Jack have both said at several shows that they won't ship the game with incomplete code. I don't know the history in Stern games but they're very adament that WoZ will be fully functional.

Quoted from paul_8788:I am pretty sure all the latest Sterns do code updates through USB sticks already. Having ethernet or wireless in a pinball just do do code updates would be overkill imo. My guess is once LCD machines become the norm there will be more internet related functionality added though. Think of the advertisement opportunities!
I'd prefer a wifi update mechanism over USB by far. Who wants to have to take out the backglass if you could simply enter a menu option and say "check for updates".
Quoted from smassa:hat being said I do feel the SAM system with USB updates is very effective and I don't feel removing the backglass to update is that big a deal. Seems WiFi just to update code on a pinball machine is over kill. If its used to link the game to tournaments and other things that would be cool. Just to update game code? Not really necessary.
I totally agree that using it to add extra things would be good. My real gripe is the hassle of pulling the game out (it's next to others and I don't have a lifter) to take the glass out and go through that hassle isn't my favorite thing. If they used a USB extension to inside the door of the cabinet I would be totally cool with keeping USB for updates. I don't mind downloading the file and putting it on a USB drive. I just don't like the other stuff involved
