Looks like Stern was serious about making the "Pin" concept work, after all! I think I'm actually more excited by this than Godzilla even - lots of potential value for the $$$.
I have played the Star Wars Pin a bit, and am firm in stating that it is actually more enjoyable to play than the "real" Pro model.
I can't say the same thing about JP until I play it, but it looks like an absolute knockout and appears to have features lacking in JP Pro, so I'm optimistic. The small screen doesn't bother me at all (I really only care about scores/ball in play, so a 7-seg LED would work for me, lol), and it works well enough in SW.
I understand the sentiment of those of you comparing this with the $2500 Transformers/Avengers abomination from several years ago, but I took a good look at one of those games at the time and I can assure you that this latest generation of "Pin" far surpasses them in every way and makes them look like something you would have ordered from the Sears X-mas catalog back in the day.
