Quoted from Ilushka85:

I have a ce also... aren't you glad you can no longer order a ce replacement Playfield because they do not exist?

My new play field is under the bed and when all of the art peels off it will be time to break it out.

Quoted from wesman:

Holy smokes...
Didn't you just get this the other week? How many plays do you have on it?

I got it 12/18 there is way over 1000 plays on it not sure of the count because first time wiped with update 98. Second wipe came with a hard drive and motherboard replacement.

Quoted from kcZ:

Soon you won't be able to give your CE away.
Better sell now.

This is the most fun I have ever had playing pinball. It will not matter if all the art is gone it will still play the same. We can all kinda thank the EPA for some of this. They can no longer use paints (clear coat) of the past.

Quoted from TheLaw:

So it falls apart?

Nothing. Play the game and enjoy it and sell it at a loss later; just like every other pinball machine.

I am in the same boat. Bought a playfield because this game is never leaving the house. Now I play it like I stole it and not worry about it. When the time comes 5 to 15 years down the road in goes the new playfield. This game is way to fun not to play it like it was intended to be played.
