Eh, I'll be the positive Stern guy for a change haha.

They just sent me a box to replace my ghosted SW pro PF, despite the new legal disclaimer... which is fun as hell and I'm enjoying immensely.

And they are also presently building me a brand new AC/DC premium for a substantial savings compared to what they were/are going for used, with free shipping to boot. It's priced WAY cheaper than a new Premium w/ LCD, and the BOM feels much higher as well.

They continue to crank out new games and have always taken care of me when I have had problems (it does require a bit of persistence at times haha). There's no gun to anybody's head to buy the vastly overpriced recent LE cash grabs... and the majority of the pros play fantastically.

Your best bet though? Buy a used one. Let the previous owner sort out all the kinks
