Quoted from Rarehero:

I'm shocked that you're on the side of a company selling defective products and not fixing them as promised.
This is all very simple.
-Stern sold defective games.
-Stern acknowledged games were defective.
-Stern claims they fixed the problem.
-Stern continues to manufacture games with problems allegedly fixed.
If the playfields are in fact fixed...why do customers have to pull teeth to get a replacement?

Quoted from Rarehero:

Hope it stays awesome. Like I've said before, it's a crapshoot. Yours might look like a beautiful sheet of glass after 2000 plays while someone else's looks like lumps of clay.

Quoted from EricHadley:

WORST.THREAD.EVER.

Quoted from iceman44:

You mean a week or two right?

Quoted from NJGecko:

You know...this frankly really sits wrong with me. It totally changes your tone from being a crusader to be made right on a product you felt was defective to "I didn't really like the game anyway, so this just worked out as a good excuse to return it"

Quoted from zombieyeti:

If movies and TV have taught me anything - and I've learned everything I know from them - it's that communication is the root of all problems

Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

Moral of the story for this whole thread...
DONT BUY STERN NIB UNTIL THE QC ISSUES ARE SOLVED!
