I have owned all three as well. For me, I like DESW, especially considering part of pinball for me is nostalgia and I have a particular set of nostalgia for this game as a kid, playing it at truck stops when I'd ride around with my dad as a kid.

I eventually sold my DESW and found and bought a HUO one recently, which I'm putting the final touches on now.

I often see people saying not to buy DESW b/c of the price inflation. Honestly, get whatever you want and don't get hung up on the price stuff. I'll end up with about as much money in mods spent as I paid for my first DESW after you factor in Pinsound, ColorDMD, Lit Flipper bats, leg light ups, quality LEDs, LEDOCD Boards, plastic protectors, black sparkly custom powder coating on lollipop rails, etc.

That said, DESW isn't a deep game by any means but I still count it as fun, personally.

Star Wars trilogy gets second place to me with EP1 a distant third.

PSW757 - Pinsound has a community forum where you can download audio bundles and load into the Pinsound board.

I hope the new Stern Star Wars is awesome and I might end up getting one but call me crazy: I don't know if I want to order a sight-unseen mega-super-uber-googly-moogly-ultra-limited-collector's edition pinball machine for more than I spent on my Mercedes convertible...

This is the route that I went. Found a HUO / original owner game that was powered off for the last three years. A couple of weeks ago, it looked like this when I moved it into the gameroom..

Below is what it looks like as of tonight.

It still needs a couple things, I'm working on R2's legs at the moment but it is progressing well, keeping me busy while I wait on my Ghostbusters Pre-order that has been two weeks away for 3 months..

I get that people think the game is shallow but the anniversary edition / code update was a nice improvement. Color DMD + Pinsound modernizes it a bit. It still isn't a super deep game but we're having fun playing it and this is my second go-around with this title...

Good luck with your decision!
