Quoted from criss:

My budget as of now is i can spend $6000 on some real machines that exist . Or i can put deposit on a machine that is in the works and i may or maynot like .Its a No brainer to me
Tis model was good to start up JJP and i supported it to the hilt , but is quite lame in my eyes to continue with this model . Its all good for JJP he is a smart cookie thats for sure .
But hey i hope its a great game and the people that pre order are happy , its their cash .

Quoted from BC_Gambit:

My Gottlieb Atlantis is simultaneously twice as rare as THLE (when it is released) and currently infinitely more common than THLE as it is currently made of unexistium. Gottlieb Atlantis had a production of ~800 reportedly. Do I win a prize? (not directed to you Neo FWIW...)
What does this have to do with anything? Am is supposed to get the warm fuzzies due to the "rarity" of my posession?

Quoted from playernumber4:

500 are designated as European editions.....so we do only have 1000 for the U.S.A.
