Quoted from usandthem:The game looks really nice. I don't know why everyone was giving you so much crap in another thread. $4900 seems like a great price as well (at least for this title). Best of luck!
IM in general is way overpriced (for me). The price to fun ratio just doesn't add up (again, for my tastes), which is why I wouldn't buy it. But I'm pretty sure that there are plenty of others who would love to have this game for the price, based on what these are selling for right now. People seem to be lining up for this game.
I used to say the same thing. And I'll tell you why I was wrong then and you are wrong now: the ability to push play over and over again. IM is a game that rewards ownership more than location play. It can be so brutal and demoralizing, that unless you have deep pockets you're just not going to play it enough to get that "one more game!" addiction. When its in your home and you aren't thinking about how many quarters your putting in - and how fast the games are flying by - its a different animal. Ownership for me has totally changed my opinion of the overall fun factor and worth of the game. Both are off the charts for me now. I'd devalued both before I had the opportunity to push play over and over again in the hopes of getting to Jericho and. Do or Die. IM might actually be a true keeper, because it's the essence of pinball: you can have a 100% fulfilling game that lasts under 2 minutes where you didn't really accomplish anything. Not to mention a 100% fulfilling game that lasts for 5 minutes where you accomplish everything. And what a feeling that is!
