    This whole Stern quality control... potential shift in PF manufacturing... has been a pretty hot topic. It's hard to tell what the ratio of games with the now infamous ghosting issue make up the pool of recent games manufactured.

    Poll is simple: have you bought a game recently? Have your inserts ghosted? Yes or No.

    If you did experience issues, list your game title below...

    Quoted from jar155:

    This morning I reported no issues. That's no longer the case. My GBLE inserts are starting to ghost. Bummer.

    That stinks :-/

    #28 7 years ago

    Wow...

    43 poll responds... basically 50/50.

    #49 7 years ago

    Up to 71 responses... Still 50/50.

    Who could have predicted that Stern's golden child would get blemished???

    Quoted from zene10:

    I called Stern regarding ghosting on my SMVE and spoke to tech support.
    He indicated that ghosting is a known issue on some current run games. I was told management, engineers and suppliers are investigating the issue. I was asked to send an email and I would be included in a list of reported machines.
    The solution/resolution to the issue is to be determined.
    The requested information was: game model, serial number, manufacturing date, purchase date, distributor name and a description of the issue and with supporting pictures.
    I received an email acknowledging the receipt of the information.
    The email I was given to send the information was: [email protected]

    At least it's been acknowledged... :-/

    so it's held?

    #61 7 years ago

    91 owners voted... Almost 50/50 still... Slight tilt toward "no ghosting".

    A sample of 100 is fairly telling... And this doesn't even include "other" manufacturing issues. :-/

    #63 7 years ago

    Almost a sample size of 100... And if voting is truthful, then basically indication of 50% issue rate.
