It's 2014 and it looks like shit.

The pixelization compliments the DMD?

Back up a little. It will look better

Removing your glasses or slamming 5-6 quick drinks may also prove helpful.

It saves ink...its saves money...beside pinheads won't tell the difference.....and it will give them another excuse to raise the prices next round.

I kills me too, it's really terrible. I can't fathom it unless maybe they own their own printing machines and they're shitty and they don't want to spend the cash for something that can handle higher rez?

You mean this isn't a high resolution image?

Scarlett Johansson looks much better in high resolution.

Yeah, you wanna stay a little more than arm's length away from the game at all times.

The id numbers printed on them on ST annoy me more than anything else. Just label them in the manual.

Because people don't care enough to make them change.

It's garbage that 90's BW plastics look better than stuff almost 25 years newer.

Wow. I think you could print on a single piece of white paper from an old ink jet from the 90's with stale cartridges, spray mount the printed side, and stick it under a piece of plexi and get the same result. That is exceptionally crappy. It looks like the first time I tried to make my own replacement plastic for a game, only I accepted the fact that it looked like shit and refused to install it in the machine and re-did it 3 times till it was right.

As long as people line up to buy their games the way they are why would they change anything that would cut into profits?

I think that line is starting to get shorter

This would be a good question to pose to them on Facebook

It would get deleted and you would get banned.

I think so as well.

I was going to pick up Refinery IMVE, but I am waiting to see how all of these new offerings pan out. I am not a huge fan of TBL, the movie, but the attention to detail on that pin along with, supposedly, top notch build quality is becoming difficult to resist.

Yeah, my post was tongue in cheek...

One of us! One of us! One of us!

I can't see how it would save that much money.

This has to be it. There's no excuse for not giving their money to another company with better quality output.
