The hardware is 100 times more important than the software in my opinion. I'd be surprised if anyone thinks for a second the game is going to ship perfect, there will be issues. However, it looks like everyone has been doing their best to confine the issues to a firmware update via SD card as apposed to swapping out hardware. It seems like the software has been complete, maybe for a while, and there is a large focus on the hardware.

I really hope so anyway

I believe the last word that it was. When wasn't said, not at launch.

Yah, software update to color DMD, no time given, not at launch.

I'm hoping for a next gen CGI color DMD and not just colorized dots.

Not true. That's ignoring all the people out there trying to put food on the table by routing machines.

Aftermarket maybe. But the remake is true to the original in that regard. There is no plastic or sticker there on the original.

I don't know where that came from, but looking at the original Williams flyer for MM that piece has no plastic or sticker on it. Maybe someone who knows more can chime in.

It was the last 2 weeks of September. However, since we haven't heard or seen anything else from the last update (the video, test games in the wild etc) I personally don't think they are going to make that deadline.

I'm still hoping and the thinking the original promise is a good one, all the games delivered by the end of the year.

Are the test games ready to go on location?

Yay!

Ummmmm the update says they will NOT be on the line during Expo.

I think we're going to be lucky to have the game on the line before thanksgiving. Stern can make them quick, but I don't think we know yet how long it will take CGC to turn them and get them out the door. My guess is quick because they only have so much room but who knows.

I changed my mind. I'm hoping to have the game in my house before thanksgiving.

I won't have it before expo, and it won't be on the line either, but the Stern factory tour should be interesting...

Uncompressed high quality audio can enhance game play for some...

I guess it's not going on the line this week, but according to the last update it's really really close.
