I like the layaway plan. The guy I just bought my Spidey from will hold a pin for up to 6 months.

Very good options for payment for those unsure, or not having all the money up front. Jack is really doing good, across the board, on his machines.

Jersey Jack is certainly listening to customers, something Stern seems to have forgotten about (or maybe they are listening to us home users but just not doing anything with our ideas and feedback).

With Joe Balcer and Dennis Nordman designing this could well be a fantastic premiere for Jersey Jack. But is anything known about the technical aspects of this game? Will it resemble Stern's build "quality", will it be like the old Bally Williams mechanics? Will it be built like a tank Capcom mechanics?

And what kind of system will it use? Something similar to SAM? Or is there going to be a Linux based "of the shelf" computer bolted in the backbox (that would actually be a smart move)? I'm very excited about this new manufacturer (certainly after seeing the ugliness that is Rolling Stones) but also wondering what the insides will be like.

Has anyone seen his redemption game(s) up close and personal? That might give an indication of manufacture quality........

I have read that they will be using Williams flippers and mechanisms. Not sure about the circuit boards or playfield. Cabinet will probably be made in house. Probably will not be a Stern board given they are the competition.

I have talked to them there about it being "open source" .. I think it will be Linux based software but I don't think a definite decision has been made.

(It's my birthday today so I am kicking back with some Crown Royal Black my wife had waiting for me after work as a present)

Very nice! And a very Happy Birthday to you!!

Enjoy the Crown Brokedad!!!

Happy Birthday Brokedad! I am also an Aquarian, my birthday is this friday

Stern makes a big point of posting stuff on Faceplant, but I don't think anybody over there actually reads any of the responses. I'm sure I would have got a note back asking to refrain if they had...
You'd think they'd respond to, "If a Big Butt Hunter and an NBA were pushed off the top of a ten-story building, which machine would hit the ground first?" (The answer is, of course, "Who Cares?")

"I have read that they will be using Williams flippers and mechanisms ..."

This is a very good thing. I prefer the action of the Williams flippers and slings much more than any other manufacturer. Plus, the parts are inexpensive and readily available.

I really hope this turns out to be a great new co. I am very excited to see what it looks like. It is gonna be a long 11 months......

Happy Birthday Brokedad!

oh yeah happy B-day BD
you drink Royal Crown Cola also - nice

Nothin stronger than a RC soda.

Happy Birthday.

Why not make the pin in this style?

Could be pretty cool!

Thanks all for the former nice BD birthday wishes. I have this whole week off and we have company from Norway. I get threesomes/foursomes for my present

(Not to mention her accent drives me crazy !)

"Why not make the pin in this style?

I watched this miniseries when it first aired on SciFi (SciFy?). It was actually quite good. Very dark.

Good Skiing in Norway. Hurt myself on the Lille-hammer Olympic Downhill. I literally went from 40 to 0 mph in about 5 feet. Felt like I fell out of an airplane.
Beer's expensive as hell though. $8 a bottle. How is a drunkard supposed to live with those prices?

I like Robot Chicken's version of WOO.
