Quoted from hassanchop:

Contacted him. He won't ship the machine.
Right now, with all the comments, I think I will continue to wait for a premium. It's not the bow or the BG or the lights. It's the bombs. I remember that the bombs (vip passes) in ACDC made the game very interesting, with a totally different strategy that was so much fun. I guess that on TWD it will be the same thing.

Absolutely correct. The bombs adds a whole new complexity and strategy to the game. Wait for a premium.

What I am seeing is some pinsiders who had pros and upgraded to premiums and are glad they did. I don’t see any pinsiders who had premiums and downgraded to pros and are happy they did. I prefer the pro version of many games to the premium. But this is definitely the one game other than Tron, that you must upgrade if you want a much better experience. The early run LEs had issues with the ramp, but they worked out all the kinks on the premiums. My premium left ramp is silky smooth. Bicycle girl does not interrupt flow. It’s a bash toy and comes back to the flippers just as quick as the pro ramp does. It doesn’t hold the ball, so I don’t get that argument that I keep hearing. Playing the pro is checkers, playing the premium is chess.

Quoted from roar:

I don’t buy into this much better experience bit. The pro is a fantastic game... I own one... in the same breath I’d take a premium over the pro but I don’t feel obligated to put down the pro to make my point. I suspect you’d be more than happy with a pro... let’s putnit this way... I’d rather have a pro than no TWD at all. Given the opportunity to make the decision again I’d go premium over pro but I am in no way convinced that the ‘experience’ is far superior. The games are both amazing.

I wasn’t putting down the pro. The pro is still an excellent game. It’s just that I think the premium is the greatest game ever made. Sure the art or voice actor could be better, but still the best in my opinion.

Quoted from DaveH:

Get the Pro. I loved the Pro, but ended up having a Premium in my gameroom for a while. I never liked it. Get the Pro and never look back.

Wow, you are the only person I have heard of to have this opinion. Maybe the premium you had in your game room wasn’t set up properly. This title more than any other plays vastly different than it should if not set up right and dialed in.
