I don't like price increases like any other person, but has anybody paid attention to what the cost of groceries, gas, cars, or anything else has done? It has all gone up. Shipping containers have gone from $3K to $18K, and sometimes even more. Shipping period has gone through the roof, which adds to the bottom line to anything. I would love to buy this at the old price, but I realize the reality of the situation as my company has had to deal with all the same kind of price increases. I am only going to wait to have all the bugs fixed and flushed out, and I don't buy anything until I play it. That said, this game looks awesome and I love the theme. I see a premium in my future, just have to find a way to justify it to the wife.

Actually, they do have it. You have to hit/hold the lockdown bar button to use it and it collects shots, or something like that. They said in the beginning of the steam that they were not going to be able to use it since Jack mounted a Go-Pro above it and they couldn't hit the button. Elwin actually mentioned it while he was playing saying he would have liked to be able to use it.

I don't own any JJP, but have played them. Played the new GNR and the flippers just ruined the game for me. I guess I'm just used to the snappy Stern ones and the JJP ones felt weak, like you were playing under water and slowed them down. I would rather replace crappy coil stops than deal with that.
