Find a place near you that would have one and play it a lot . I think it will have legs down the road, but time will tell.

What Chad said!! But really play it a lot!! Don't know about all JJP games, but a lot of peeps having issues with DI

I think an MMR will get older a lot quicker then Pirates. Pirates has a crazy amount of modes, wizard modes, multiballs, and then there's all of the character abilities. The latest JJP live stream has the code looking really good too.

New games are always the best thing in the world for the first 6 months to a year. Then over time they start to drop in opinion. When code gets updated they jump up and then fall back down. So, would I drop 10k on a new unproven title from JJP? No, woz was good, hobbit is meh, and pirates is tainted because of the proto vs production changes. It is going to take several years to see how good pirates really is, do you want to gamble your money like that or go buy a proven title?

The first round of owners basically end up being beta testers, so it also might be a good idea to wait until after an update comes out.

If you have the space, for the same money 2 games are almost always better than 1. More variety. Less boredom.

( ...except for the 10 exceptions everyone is going to raise. ha.)

Play it, get a feel for it and do what your gut says. If it says buy two 90’s dmd games instead or blow it all on hookers and coke, do it. Have fun with it, life is short to worry about stuff.

I think you should grab a "cheap" DI, and another 90s game, then, in about a year, sell me the DI and get your POTC all worked out!

Ahhh, hookers and coke, , , ,

You aren't far from JJP. Go over there, get the factory tour, and play a few games. Decide then.

LTG : )

I think you'll like MET, but your collection is already quite heavy in Stern titles from the past 10 years. Personally, I'd probably start rotating those spots in your collection. Perhaps pick the one or two your playing the least and bring in something new. I'd go with the MET or MMr plus some cash, but that's totally up to you. As you can see by my collection, I like machines from a variety of eras: EM, early SS, DMD, and LCD.
