Holy $hit fellas, are you serious? 27 pages of “I know pinball better than Stern”?
This is exactly why I’ve spent so little time on Pinside as of late.
Hilton continues to slag Stern at every turn. Some people agree, some disagree. 27 pages later...

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I’ve learned that for a pinball machine to be worth purchasing, it needs a great layout and awesome code. Regardless of how great a theme it is, I have to wait to play it and see if the code is great before laying out any $. That means that although new releases are always exciting, it’s still nothing more than a “potential step 1” in a multi step process before a game proves itself worthy of my $. Seeing a StarWars home version did nothing for me, but it’s not as though the pin stole my wife and kicked my dog on the way out. I want to see Stern succeed but I truly don’t give a single flying $uck if they want to try selling a simpler version to the masses.

You guys all appear to be suffering from Brewsters Millions-syndrome, where it’s imperative that you buy every new release.

Get a life already.
