Forgive my ignorance and my lack of full enthusiasm for the band, but can Pinball Browser be used to swap songs and graphics on this title?

This game looks amazing, and the Egyptian theme is RIGHT up my alley. I even don't mind the Iron Maiden songs as part of various modes. My problem is I'm not at all an Iron Maiden fan, and the upfront jukebox aspect is a real downer. I don't want to have to pick a song before each game/ball, I don't really like any of them.

Swapping just songs would be weird, because there are logos that would still list the song names. So, can both the songs and the logos representing the songs be swapped out? No idea what to swap to, but just curious if the jukebox part of the game could be edited. The rest of the package looks stellar, and I'm really interested in a Premium.

The rules and the art are awesome. Like I said, I don't even mind the Maiden music during the modes. I kinda hate jukebox style games anyway, and this one seems even more frivolous in that the songs you pick up front are just for music, not for modes. Would seem from a gameplay standpoint this would make it that much easier / less impactful to circumvent.

I wouldn't look to change the songs attached to modes. I don't HATE Maiden, I just don't really care for them. If I interpreted the last stream correctly, the songs you pick at the start of a ball have nothing to do with a mode. Isn't that true? It's just what you hear batting the ball around until you start a mode that has a song attached to it, right?

I guess my main thing is when I don't really care for the music, the exercise of "pick what song you want to hear now" seems stupid. Frankly, if there was a way to turn off the song-select in the settings and each ball just started with a random song from the list, that would probably be enough to resolve my issue.

So, I got to play a Pro a couple different days this week, and I have to say, I don't feel any need to swap songs out any more. I still don't like Maiden songs at all (love metal music, but this isn't really my style) but they are integrated well into the game. Still wish they didn't have the jukebox feature at all, and it just started with a random song instead, but I digress. Once you get into the game, the songs are pretty much background-ish music and don't grate at me the way they would listening on the radio. Combined with the awesome callouts they actually fit well.

So, if there is anyone left that is hedging on this game because they don't like the music, DON'T. I wanted to swap out the songs before I played it, and that is such a distant memory at this point. I'm down for a Premium.

That said, I have also found the first person I'm aware of that doesn't like this game...MY WIFE. She thinks it's boring. She likes almost everything we have, and I was expecting this to be another she at least somewhat enjoyed. Oh well. I guess I can see why...the shots are somewhat narrow (not Alice Cooper narrow) so for a novice player there can be a fair amount of bricking. And there really isn't any cool interactive toy, at least not on the pro. So, if someone needs that to get into a game, I guess I see how this could be viewed as minimal.

Thankfully, I'm not like that. Lots of risk/reward opportunities!

I like the lollipop rails better too. Is this black finish on the Premium a standard Stern finish that you could get stock lollipops in? Or is it something you would need to get new rails and then have everything re-powdered to match? I wouldn't bother if it was the latter. I think the black looks cool with the Premium art and only plan to replace the yellow t-molding.

Are the days of looking for the best price on a NIB current Stern game gone? I want a Premium Maiden; will all distributors have the same price, or do distributor's unlisted prices vary somewhat?
