Its always fun to take a crap on other peoples games in hopes that it somehow props up the value of your own, I totally get it. How we choose to spend our 6-9k is our own business. I'll have to admit that before getting my AFMR LE I was very neutral overall on the game. I played various originals and they were fun, but never kept me pushing the start button more than a couple of times. CGC took this to a new level IMO (take note that means my in my opinion) above the original. Most, if not all, the complaints regarding it that have been brought up here I have not experienced with mine, or if I did, was able to make a simple adjustment to overcome. The game is rock solid in construction, has an amazing light show, immersive rich sound, and shoots buttery smooth (most likely new helps a bunch here). The best part is that people that like their originals still have them and no one is taking them away and people that wanted an IMO (take note) enhanced version can now get one. To add to this, people can still buy their Sterns (I still will likely do so as well), since Stern is still building pins. A win...win...win. No need to complain or bash.
