Quoted from PanzerFreak:Due to the implementation of node boards, many of which are custom per game, I think it's even more critical to wait at least 6 months after a games release before purchasing to see if hardware such as node boards are updated.
At these prices it's no longer worth the future headaches to get one of the first games off the line.
Are node boards custom per game?
I was under the impression they have dip switches to easily adapt and be interchangeable between games.
I don’t have any newer Sterns.
