    I think it's pretty simple. For the most part as newer games are released (say Tron and AC/DC), they have a captive audience...their owners. There's no way in hell someone that just shelled out $8500 for a Tron LE or 9k for a NIB BIBLE would rank the game anything but super high marks...even if they hated it. As these games get played more..and they change hands...the ranking will come around.

    I know I'm a video guy before pins. The Tron arcade is one of my favorites and I really liked the movies. I was so pumped when I found out they were making a pin I couldn't wait to get one.

    I went to the Playdium Store to buy one with cash in hand....played 10-20 games there and was completely bored. Tried it again at a locals...still did nothing for me. Put on another dozen games at PAPAs...still nothing. I REALLY tried and wanted to like it...it was a complete snoozer for me.

    Minus the art package this game did absolutely nothing for me..and it was as close to my grail theme as could be made.
