Quoted from PanzerFreak:

The new price point is fine if games are backed up with a feature set that represents the price and exhibits a high attention to quality control. Sadly that isn't the case. POTC and LOTR made nearly 10 years ago offered more feature wise and exhibited a higher level of quality control at a much cheaper price then Sterns games today.
Stern is trying to squeeze every last penny out of customers right now by using cheaper materials and putting less features in games. It's the equivalent of cereal companies offering their products in smaller boxes but keeping the same price except at least the cereal companies use the same materials for their boxes...

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

"There are no decal problems"...*waves hand. "Games are not being stripped down"...*waves hand.
"Move along". lol

Quoted from asay:

I get that it really sucky when you pay that much for something and it turns out being defective, but are there any instances of Stern not making good on something that is their fault?
They replaced a bad CPU on my WPT, and that game is almost 10 years old and I'm not the original owner.
