"Why did they put 60's colors and fonts on a Beatles pin? Don't they know we're not from the 60's?"
My first reaction was, "wtf is this?" for sure. But it's true to it's theme and Stern will definitely sell all of these to their target audience, of which I guess 90% of them aren't on Pinside.
We all think of the black and white 60's Beatles and the later decades in color. 60's fruity color Beatles probably isn't what everyone expected.
For $25,000 and $12,500, Distributors better start advertising these games on geriatric caviar and kopi luwak monkey poop coffee ordering websites. They need to reach their audience.
The other 1,614 games can advertise here.
Quoted from DS_Nadine:I'm generally positive about this pin, but this reveal date today is a letdown.
Ok, we got the Platinum Translite (and we kinda know for sure that Platinum/ Diamond Ed. will have no additional value)... and that's it.
No video, no Platinum/ Diamond Pricing... that's kind of sad.
I've already posted the price. I talked to my distributor yesterday. $12,500 for Platinum and $25,000 for Diamond. Stern is not allowing street pricing for these 2 models. Expect gold in the $7,600 range.
Quoted from DS_Nadine:A lot of people posted a lot of prices, with Diamond sub 10k including.
Not saying that you're making this up, just saying (if it's true that it isn't allowed to put out prices) that's to avoid open price war with the retailers.
While this is good for the retailers, I think it's kind of shady to not have an MSRP.
Just imagine the conversations here, mocking each other because X paid twice as much than Y did for his Diamond.
But with that said, since the gold edition doesn't seem to lack anything and in my opinion generally has the best art package, that's everyones own decision.
For that reason, Stern is threatening to pull the distributor's allotment if they sell their Diamond or Platinum games for less than MSRP. Which is why I don't mind posting that price.
I don't get why Stern doesn't announce their price for this game, considering they are forcing their distributors to sell for a set amount and no less.
