I’d bet most of the people here wouldn’t call themselves rich. Except Ice, he totally says it all the time. But the rest of us just think we're middle class. But at this point anyone who owns new games is technically rich.

Quoted from Bublehead:Money does not buy time. Time is money. You waste both at your own peril. Point in case, I have terminal liver cancer. I can not just "buy more time" on earth. Sorry to poke a lot of holes in peoples analogies, but if you want something, I say buy it. Let life figure out who has to pay for it eventully, and hopefully not the surviving spouse.
Wishing you the best.

Again, missing the point by a country mile...
Quoted from Haymaker:Again, missing the point by a country mile...
Thanks for helping me understand
Great for you who flips every Le for profit. Glad you re invest it into a game that’s only worth a homepin model costs. Again good on you . Did you inbox it or will this be for sale strapped to pallet with an increase? Now I will stfu and move along . Go go spike boards !!!!
Quoted from MK6PIN:#434 just got dropped off at the house....will be setting it up and playing tonight hopefully. Kinda shoots the "they'll never even make 500" out of the water.
Any inference that money quantifies stupidity (either way) is absolute horseshit. "self proclaimed entitlement", maybe, but stupidity? No way.
I've met incredibly asinine people in all income brackets. Amazing how these threads digress into personal beliefs/ attacks about a persons intellect just because they decide to buy a game or not.
So buying 8 old ass games that take up room, 8x the work, and none of the features of a modern game is more fiscally responsible or "smarter"?
Unf*cking believable that the need exists to "justify" buying or not, while "proclaiming pinball genious" to those that are "dumb" enough to do so.
The personal attacks on individuals choosing to purchase a game really need to stop. Hate the game, hate the price, say your piece, then stfu and move on.
Believe it or not, I'll bet there are people at Stern that DO care, and silently sit back and take it just like Spooky, JJP and the rest.
Shit gets really, really old.

played Bond 60th a good amount at MGC. There was a line all day while I was there so tons of people wanted to check out this special game. Thanks to Tilt Amusements for bringing it out for everyone to beat on. It was fun to play. I think if you have the means to buy it, you'll have fun with it. Not sure how much lasting power it will have but it was indeed a good shooter. Art and cabinet looked bad. Basically everything that we've gone over countless times was pretty much true.
One thing I noticed was this area between the pop bumpers. The mylar there was already getting pretty burned through. I noticed it very early on saturday and I took the picture only maybe an hour later so I'm sure there was hundreds or more games put on it since. I'm not sure how much play this game had on it before MGC either. Possibly a lot. I would say though this is definitely an area to keep an eye on if you are an owner of the game.
