Quoted from fosaisu:Bummer. I guess there's always the possibility they could modify Whitestar in some way, but no improvement to sound will cost them some sales I'd think (though maybe Stern can spin it as protecting the interests of LE buyers by not making the VE inarguably better).
I don't think stern gives two shakes about protecting LE Buyer's. They sold a limited edition years ago. That doesn't stop them from selling another edition if they so chose.
Quoted from snaroff:Here is my anecdotal evidence that LOTR demand isn't that great. I tried to sell mine on both coasts (as the result of an east->west coast move). It's single-owner, HUO in exceptional condition. I was asking 5.5k on the east coast 1 year ago. 2 months ago I was asking 5.7k with a ColorDMD installed.
AS a potential buyer here is my problem. Your HUO could be up to 12 years old. Now, I really like LOTR, owned the same exact machine twice in fact. I want another, but here is the kicker.
12 year old machine for 5.5k or nib stern for 4400? Metallica is an excellent game. I can also get a lightly used ACDC for that matter, also an amazing game. Both of which are newer and cheaper.
Now add in that there is a good chance stern will remake LOTR and which sounds like the better idea? Buy an amazing NIB game that stern makes now and wait for the VE? Or, buy a LOTR now and lose 1k in value if the ve comes out? Prices aren't climbing at the moment so chances are next year if there is no VE I can just buy a LOTR for about what it is now anyways.
Quoted from Rarehero:Example of the entitlement I was speaking of. Sometimes old out of production games are pricey. Wah wah wah. Want a Scared Stiff? Pay $5-6k or don't own one. They're not gonna remake it. Remake candidates are VERY slim.
