Quoted from PanzerFreak:Everyone should keep in mind that zaphX has already put thousands of plays on his GNR which is awesome. He's probably already gotten more value out of the game then a vast majority of other owners due to how much he plays and enjoys it.
The playfield situation sucks but at least there's a partial solution. Personally I think JJP should evaluate each customer case individually and if the damage is bad enough (severe chipping) then a playfield should be given for free.
agreed. I've put more than seven hundred games on my LE, and honestly, having too much fun to concern about missing half inch of art on the PF, or pooling by the posts.
The way I see it is, if you love pinballl, and love GNR, then this game will scratch your itch. with that mindset, its hard to stay focused on the PF issues, unless theres some huge chunk of art gone off the center of the PF, which i have not seen from anyone yet.
we should all remember to flourish in the greatness of being able to play these awesome games. the more you play, the less you care about a nicked cabinet, small piece of clearcoat, or some barely visible pooling of clearcoat. I suppose I'm deranged, but honestly, theres so much to be happy with and so much enjoyment to playing any game that any damage could be overlooked.
we have all played games which were worn out or had major PF damage. They're still fun no doubt. I'd own any game with a damaged PF to be sure, as long as it is not obstructive to play, or a straight up GASH in the PF from a NIB purchase.
Have fun guys, if you're not, then you could be missing out!
