I saw the leaked PF pic. The font they chose to use for inserts reminds me of AMH.

Already taken down! 
Sana'a
Quoted from vid1900:Oh my gosh, can the fever rise any higher???!
Hey, it might be all a bunch of manufactured drama, but I'm still psyched for the big reveal.
Quoted from iceman44:Announcement this week hopefully
They might as well with all the leaks that has happened the game.
Quoted from epotech:allegedly leak didn't come from Stern rather allegedly Sony Entertainment. The CAD is also allegedly an early version sent for approval, allegedly.
all allegedly, Got that?
So you are saying this is fact? 
Say what you want about who did what and why. if stern was even remotely involved, it is by far one of the best marketing campaigns ever for little to no capital. You can't pay for this kind of hype and exposure. We did it all for them.

Brilliant! Sensational marketing that quite obviously has worked... Even I want one and cannot wait for it to be released.

Really? Giving hints about a long-awaited and beloved license to the dedicated pinball fanbase that buys $8000 games sight unseen is "one of the best marketing campaigns ever"?
More like one of the most obvious ever.
Obvious yes, but they will most likely have the LE close to sold out and a bunch of pros sold without even so much as printing a flyer yet. Pretty smart.
Stern should pay me a stipend for starting this thread.

Leaked test footage a couple years ago for the movie Deadpool is what finally convinced 20th Century Fox to green light the movie. It wouldn't be a a stretch that the leak(s) have been deliberate.

You have to negotiate up front, not after the fact
Agreed. From what I have heard, the leaks were definitely not intentional. I honestly don't think Stern is very concerned about what its competitors are working on or when their games are being released to have gone to all the trouble to "leak" Ghostbusters. It's hard enough work cranking games off the line like they do and running a factory of that size. Seems like Stern does just fine minding their own business and focusing on their own projects so when they're ready to be revealed, they'll do so.
Looking forward to the imminent GB announcement!! 
Quoted from jonesjb:Historically, how long under after a LE sells out will a premium become available? I'm not too much a fan of the Slimer art, and would prefer a Stay Puft (along with the other LE features).
Any advice on this one?
I heard that leaks were under the radar and also as a known leak as a marketing deal with some people
Quoted from jonesjb:Any advice on this one?
how long is a ball of string - tough one, depends if it sells quickly. WWE had trouble selling the LE's so no premiums.
check one of my other threads where I track Stern releases

Thanks, so it looks like if it will be a popular seller (which this should) anywhere from same month to 3 months.
I know this Leak has sure peaked my interest in this pinball...so intentional or not it has sparked some Ghostbusters Fever!
Quoted from swinks:PKE prototype flippers

Sorry I don't like the holes. The art work is terrible, The rubbers are to red and the white is cream. 
Edit: Sorry, was having a GOT playfield artwork flashback. All better now.
Quoted from kaneda:Leaks were not deliberate. Announcement coming any day now.
what are you basing that on?
Quoted from Goronic:I can't wait to see the whole machine. I found this little sliver of PF...

This could be the best looking Stern ever?
LEAK!!! BAN HIM!!!!1
kidding. I hadn't noticed before, and its likely due to the crop of a cellphone pic or something but that GI light almost looks painted.

Holy cow, it looks like someone took melted hot candle wax as well as a box of toasted Crayolas and just dripped them all over the playfield.
I sure hope it looks good. Right now......=/

Could be!
Unfortunately, you're about to get ejected.
Quoted from arcademojo:Sorry I don't like the holes. The art work is terrible, The rubbers are to red and the white is cream.
holes are for leds
rubbers are pinball life new rubbers
white is actually pearl sparkle white

I like it..
Until it's actaully released im still holding out they'll join the 21st Century with this pin and use lcd.
If it's DMD I may take my new pin money + sell my 3 pins & then pay cash for a Polaris Slingshot to put in my garage.
Might even get a Predator motorcycle helmet as a nod to my former hobby & how stupid it's become.
I'm so F'n serious
It's crazy to me that 3 Stern NIB Premiums = 1 paid off brand new Batmobile
But an LCD might keep me stupid long enough to buy another machine I speculate 
Quoted from craigj:At this point I almost wish there had been no leaks. I am not a patient person, waiting for the official reveal is killing me. I was thinking about buying a Hobbit or GOT Premium but have held off because of the Ghostbusters leak.
No matter who leaked this... your post is music to Stern's ears.

They had one of these at the Pittsburgh car show a few weeks ago. Cool as heck!!
Quoted from snakesnsparklers:No matter who leaked this... your post is music to Stern's ears.
Well, maybe.... he said "Hobbit OR GOT"
If it only c(**-blocked a TH order, yes, music- but slowing existing title sales is exactly why they DONT want word out too soon.
Quoted from jar155:It's DMD.
Maybe they will delay the reveal and shift to lcd.
Quoted from jonesjb:Maybe they will delay the reveal and shift to lcd.
If not, ColorDMD to the rescue.
Quoted from jar155:It's DMD.
Confirmation by whom? Until officially confirmed it's only word of mouth.
