    Quoted from zr11990:

    Stern's node boards will blow out and will not be replaceable and JJP uses a computer that may or may not be replaceable when it goes out. Some of you may be able to replace it but most will not. The game will then be worthless. I'm not trying to be negative but that is the way I see it. These games are made to be obsolete in a matter of time.

    Actually no, JJP uses what is essentially an off the shelf motherboard with an off the shelf hard drive, and they write their own software. Motherboards and hard drives change and evolve over time, and can be updated in a JJP pin along with code..... for many, many years.

    You're right though, a proprietary single use board used by... well, another company. Eh, not so much.
