Looking forward to hearing the price and hope it doesn’t break the bank. Will put one in both of my spike 2 machines.

don’t believe so but guessing: Mando, Turtles, Iron Maiden, jurrasic park, avengers, Deadpool and ……Godzilla!

In thinking back to sterns new user agreement at the beginning of the year - I wonder if the system will pick up mods such as my Pinwoofer, say they are not authorized and then not allow me connectivity? I can see custom firmware not being approved, but am a little curious to see how this plays out with mods. While it's definitely going to have its bugs and lack of features out of the gate, I for one welcome this in. There has been made mention that the hobby isn't growing in the younger (20-30 year old) demographic - this is exactly the implementation and way to bring a lot of new blood into the hobby with its simplicity and the allure of looking to grow your achievement collection.

The ones that think the platform is interesting and look forward to it, simply just wait for it. The ones that will never use the platform or don’t see it’s purpose will be vocal. I am in the commercial insurance industry as an aside, how many times do you hear people express and talk about a positive claim they have had. Compared to the amount of people that make it very well known when their experience isn’t as positive.

As I understand it, yes.

I'm going to call it now, between $150 - $200 USD.

Really interested to see if they integrate in the future a slick setup that can used within tournaments or via streamer channels. Graphics and score overlays, so to speak.

Has anyone received the actual email from Stern as of yet to transition your account?

I’ve heard a few times now (forget if it’s been Stern podcast interviews or other articles) that each game is registered with stern when the kit is added. Then it would need to be de-activated if moving the kit to another machine, or if the machine changes ownership. So while you could probably use a single kit on many machines, it’s gonna be a frustrating process of registering, deactivating, registering…….

$199.99

Woo hoo! will order for all my titles soon!

No doubt in my mind that Insider Connected will follow suit with something similar for location play/tourneys/etc. I think I saw some screenshots where they had a similar interface at Expo to track high scores. Will be exciting to see the roadmap for 2022.

While the big news of the day is Rush (of which I'm excited to see gameplay on), happy day for me and a busy night ahead, installing insider connected kits in my machines (and yes, I’m aware we are still awaiting Mando implementation, but getting the kit ready).
