Quoted from Mike_J:I believe I am really going to regret not buying one. I know about all of the complaining this last week, but it seems that the game has improved leaps and bounds in a very short time and now the positive reviews and reactions are pouring in.
Really? No matter what you think at the moment, it's a gamble, plain and simple. X-men was met with great hype and people started paying more money once the game was released as it was new and exciting. Transformers was also pretty hyped up also, and ended up falling flat. It is what it is!
The reviews for Avengers have been mixed, and of course new owners are going to like the machine and post exciting reviews! Who wants to open up a $7K pin and not be excited about the new machine and gameplay? I'm a sucker myself for that, and I'll admit it.
For $7K, that's not a gamble I'm wiling to take at the moment. I have limited $ to sink in this hobby and with the loss I'd take on my X-men LE at the moment, I can't risk losing another (potentially) $1K on another incomplete Stern.
And in all honesty, I hope it's one of Stern's best... I'll be happy to pick a Premium edition then and be happy.
