Quoted from Whysnow:Many have said that the utility of the top 100 is that sometimes you want to add a new pin to your collection and you find a title for a decent deal but you have never played it. The rankings system used to be a nice way to get a general feel for a consensus on a game and maybe make the decisions to go for it and buy.
How common is this, really? I think the *comments* on the ratings are a good way to get a sense of whether you might like a machine or not, but I have a hard time imagining a scenario where the only thing someone uses to make a decision is a game's position on the Pinside Top 100. Who is going to decide to buy or not buy a game solely because it is #75 on the Pinside Top 100 instead of #60? Or (an even more absurd scenario), #3 instead of #1? Or because a machine has an average rating of 7.789 instead of 7.881?
