Ok I have been thinking about this for a week now, due to the fact that I still was not able to cancel my CE order, and for me it boils down to this:
The game seems fantastic to me. The looks, the screen, the graphics, the sounds, the possibilities, the game etc. Featurewise it is still very strong, but saying that I also must think about the fact that there were 5 motorised or coiled "moving" toys in the original concept being the upper playfield, three rings and the chest opening and closing.
From those five there are two left, being the upper playfield and the new disc. For me that takes the machine out of the territory that I want to spend 17000 dollar on it (price in Europe), but at the same time if I change my order to an LE I will also miss out on the motorised topper which I think is brilliant.
Ironically the changes on the machine were made to be able to get the machine in production and deliver a more reliable package, but now I am doubting that I want it because of how much it costs and what you get for that kind of money.
I love JJP and this actually breaks my heart, but I am in the position that I need to work for my money and have to make choices where to spend it. I think I will not spend it now on the POTC and that actually makes me sad. First world problems, I know. Maybe if I can play it more somewhere I will change my mind.
