Quoted from branlon8:I'm not a Metallica owner just yet, hope to be in a not too distant future, after I figure out if I want to Premium or Pro...and make space, but I'd like to throw out a question I don't recall ever seeing a comment on: what is the function of the color changing insert leds in the Premium and LE models ? Does the color affect gameplay?
They do make a big difference. For instance, when the piston shot is ready for 2x on the premium/le, it lights purple. On the pro it's just the same white that you always see, leaving the question is it really time for 2x or not?
During Fade to Black, when you finish the mode and move on to the victory lap phase, the GI is mostly off and the inserts are a deep blue. Just awesome looking. You don't get the same effect on the pro.
Even better than the inserts is the tri-color GI, allowing red and blue shades of GI at the appropriate times.
