Quoted from Bing_Party:

Well I was going to buy the LE #2. It's actually in a bar near my house with a bunch of other pins. After I played it for a good hour I am just depressed cause I have the original Ballys Kiss and i wanted to plop it next to it. The play is just not satisfying imo. So I put a deposit on a premium ghostbusters. So much for the kiss theme. Well at least I know I can probably pick up a kiss premium in 5 years for under 4K. People gonna get bored of this turd fast and there will be way too many for sale. Maybe new code will help but I got this bad feeling that stern will put minimum into it

You seem way too over dramatic about Kiss being a "turd". I find it funny how many are on the "turd band wagon" just because the code is late. No way this playfield is boring.. if flows great, has great shots, the glaring problem IS THE CODE. Borg does a great job of making a good game, but he can't control the code. Get over it bro.

And the classic part of your post? Hey, I'm going to jump on both the Kiss turd train AND then catch the GB is the greatest game Hype train. Classic if you ask me. We'll see in 6-9 months just how good GB is... if you think you can make that determination now, you truly are a newb.

Quoted from Bing_Party:

Correct, not trying to tick off the kiss pin owners, Kiss is my favorite band...Kiss is marketing machine...I got some much Kiss crap that I don't even know where to store it. Kiss coffin is the best (no I don't own one). That being said Ghostbusters barely markets anything and hasn't made a peep in years. So out of the gate I think GB is gonna look and play great and folks we can see that on the early videos, people are gushing over this machine. If the LE sold out in 6 hours and presales are through the roof for other modules, where do you think Stern is going to put the budget monies? Look that last Kiss code release was for the topper, the topper!! Why? Pure greed but that's business, they needed code and they gave you a topper. I think the GB theme alone lends itself to be a classic and all the code that they can do with the halograms and magnets...well who knows but the potential looks great.

Your assumption that Ghostbusters will be great this early on based on early sales is seriously flawed. I suggest you look up the history of the release of X-men.. exact same hype train all the way. LE's sold out in hours, Dealers were upping their price, it was exactly the same as GB. New, hand drawn art, fancy toys, and a new theme. Game was going to be based on comics, not the movie. OMFG!!!

Game was released, and people started to realize that it wasn't all it was hyped up to be.. within a few months, people were dumping LE's for losses at $1K or more. You could blame the code which was the most glaring problem, but the more people played it, the more the unique layout/style of the playfield turned some people off. The wolverine toy became a love/hate thing, and the call-outs (yep, the audio) became almost like nails going down a chalkboard to some.

What's my point? You're statements about GB are based all on hype at this point, regardless if the game is actually good or not (or better than Kiss or not). Makes me thing you jumped on the "kiss is a turd train" in the same way.

Let's also look at games that had code that wasn't widely accepted at first, and games weren't considered very good (or in your word, "turd"). Ironman, Walking Dead, AC/DC, and Star Trek to name a few.
