Quoted from ecurtz:

Sure they would, the amount of money from the pinball license for Spider Man to Sony is minuscule compared to the brand awareness, and the movies have "moved on" from the Maguire series.
That's one of the drawbacks of the all licensed titles strategy, you're relying on the licensors to allow you to rerun popular stuff. My guesses for people who are still on board would be Simpsons and then another run of TRON standard (but only if they do release another film).

Quoted from frolic:

spiderman is tricky because the movies have been rebooted. They could re-theme the original SM to Amazing spiderman, but I think they'd have to sell a lot more than 500 to make that worth their while.

Quoted from goatdan:

Batman changed, and the series became all about selling toys, whereas Batman Forever was only sort of about it. You can either rank the four films starting with Burton's as a series of four (as Warner Bros does, for instance), two series of two, or a series of two and two standalones. I've even hear someone argue that Batman, Batman Returns and Batman Forever are one series, and then Batman & Robin is a whole different thing.
I'll say the tone changes a lot between Forever and Batman & Robin. B&R is unwatchable. BF is sorta watchable.

Quoted from vex:

well, sony did announce a 30% increase in tv sales today. they seem to think of the advent of the biggest sporting event on the planet has something to to with the increased sales.

Quoted from BestShot31:

- Tron: fits two of the three criteria, not a future theme (so-so movie with a low chance of another sequel)

Quoted from TigerLaw:

I thought it was great. I was a big fan of the father son driving plot line over a romance driven plot line. The action was good. I hope the franchise has some legs now.

Quoted from GreenMeerkat:

Funny you say that, I'm a huge fan of the original and was very disappointed in the sequel because I felt it was so very shallow. There was a whole religeous tone to the original which was completely dropped in the follow up. No one seemed to give a toss that Flynn was quite literally their god. And a tiny cameo of the title character is just poor form. I still enjoyed legacy but I don't believe it is anywhere near as revolutionary or creative as the original.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Of course I didn't get it! The rules of the movie don't make a lick of sense! When Sam is zapped into Tronland - he gets hit by a disc and bleeds. Is he still biological or is he made of 1's & 0's? Why didn't he turn into sugarcubes like other guys that got hit? If they zapped-in humans are biological, do they have to eat? There's a scene where The Dude & Sam are eating a roasted pig....is that a real pig, digital, or is it merely symbolic? If it's digital, can a human survive in Tronland off of fake food? If it's real...where did it come from? Did The Dude zap in a pig farm since he knew he was going to be in there for a while? Why is there an ocean in a computer? Why is there a bar for programs with a crazy machine gun wielding owner? Who actually wrote "That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!" on the script and thought it was a good idea for Sam to say it? When Quorra gets out and become "real" - is she flesh and blood real? In the original movie, it was "cute" that the programs and such were represented by human avatars....but the idea that they actually could be human? Whuuuuut?
The original movie was a "magical fantasy" that made sense in the 80's since computers were in fact like a mystical form of magic that as a culture we barely understood. Today...being surrounded by technology, Tron Legacy just seemed like weird nonsense...in this day and age, it's kind of impossible for Tron to have that fantasy sensibility...it has to play like a real tech movie with real rules.
Anyway, that was my impression when I saw it in the theater. Now that I have the Tron pin and love it like crazy...I did go back and pick up Tron Legacy 3D on Blu-Ray....I still think it's a dopey narrative, but if I just look at it as "The Dude & Daft Punk Trip Balls in Computer Land" I can kind of enjoy it

Quoted from Rarehero:

The humans were humans first...programs were always programs...but represented by humans (cuz it's a movie) ...I don't think the programs were ever really literally meant to be little humans running around in a computer. Again - in the original movie, we could buy that in the 80's...this was a little fantasy world about a magical place. In 2011, computers aren't magic anymore...they're understandable technology.

Quoted from luvthatapex2:

Don't worry, Stern will be plenty busy with IM re-run, MMr assembly, Mustang LEs, Sterns new Fall title. I couldn't see another "vault" title until this time next year.

Quoted from Pinball4life:

Well, I think that would make it a new game then...though not a negative at all! Amazing...I found a HUO from a family that bought it back in 89 and the backbox still had the shipping blocks attached, ie, the backbox had never been opened. Original rubbers were all turning to dust. $1200 about ten months ago. Agree it is a great game! It would be interesting to see some true classics brought back, just don't know if they would sell too many and I think we would see the used market prices really take a hit, though that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Quoted from hoby1:

New model with slightly different features but not a different series. I feel its more like buyng an AC/DC premium and compairing it to a Luci.
Don't ya think, The 5C was actually a cheaper phone as the external case is plasic. ( I think ) The 5S has small differences like finger recognition.
As a diehard apple person, I only upgrade every new series. It seems that I am always able to sell my old one for enough to purchase my new one with contract upgrade. I usually preorder and buy when its announced.
