Quoted from KOZ-MIPINBALL:

No worries, we have ours set for $1.50 a play ;-P

Great to hear this news!

Do you have any discounts for multiple plays? Say four plays for $5.00. Given how different WOZ will look as compared to even the newest Stern, your pricing makes sense to me.

I just can't understand why some people expect pinball per play prices to be frozen in time when everything else about pinball costs significantly more money.

Quoted from bobbyconover:

I agree, I wouldn't feel comfortable operating it in its current state at all. Much less the totally bare-bones state it was in a month or two ago, when Jack had one set up at iPlay for $1/play.
For me it would be less about feeling like I was fleecing the customer, and more fear that many casual players would form their impressions of the game based on this unfinished version of it.

Haven't you guys ever played a pin out on test? I remember playing W/B on test, Sega, and of course Stern. I thought it was pretty cool to be able to play a game that I hadn't see before, or even heard of for that matter. Sometimes things would break, like the slam ramp on No Good Gophers, or the jump rope on Champion Pub.

Of course, I didn't realize they were "test" games until much later. I don't remember what the pricing was to play these games, but I am sure it wasn't discounted for being a test game. People around here, STL, would jump at the chance to play WOZ, early software or not.

I agree with your point on players possibly forming a poor impression based on an early code play experience. Certainly saw that with XMen. As long as the game is fun in whatever code state it is in then players will still get a good experience for their $$.

Quoted from Brtlkat:

The new pins are .75 a play. When does this pin ship out for people that bought it? How is one on location already?

Actually, new Stern pins are shipping with the $1.00 pricing card already installed. Of course, operators can choose to charge less or more depending on their location.
