Quoted from LesManley:Close. I was told it was 5" shorter than a standard machine.
Quoted from Rob_G:It doesn't appear as tall either. Look how high the legs mount on the cabinet. Sized for children perhaps?
Maybe that's it. I haven't played Spider-Man home edition so I don't know how it feels, but it seems like having to bend down an extra 5 inches to play would kind of suck. I guess if you don't know any better maybe you wouldn't notice? The price savings throwing on shorter legs would be minimal (might even cost Stern money since they now have to order and stock different sizes of legs), so they presumably picked this lower height for a design reason.
