I REALLY want to be in (love the theme) ... but with absolutely nothing to go on (zero game details) I have a hard time giving money (much less $1000!) to some people (how ever nice they may be) in another country with no avenue to recover my money if they decide to disappear, or even if they simply can't produce a machine in 2 years time. I'm surprised there are people jumping in at this point.

To not detract from this thread's original intent .. I created a new thread. I'm curious what people think (beyond just those who have already plunked down their money) about this game actually being made:

This list has been up for 3+ weeks and there are only a total of 15 pre-orders so far?? (At least from Pinsiders). I'm curious if the lack of pre-orders is an issue (or concern) at all right now? Aside from PSH passing away, the buzz around this game seems to be dead. I'm still crossing my fingers it happens ... but I need to see much more before I get on board.
