[QUOTE="Kadett785, post: 124331, member: 3849"] From my perspective, it really depends on what kind of negotiations FS have been able to do regarding Data East tables. I think realistically the only Gottleibs worth releasing which are left would be Stargate and a couple of others. FS clearly has some kind of special deal with Stern, so there are a lot of tables that could be coming from that side of things, mostly new stuff. But, I don't see that everything needs to be Williams/ Bally, in fact I think starting a season with something like Fish Tales was a mistake with regards to beginners. However, if they can release some quality Data East stuff, like Tommy, Star Wars, Time Machine, to name but a few, it should make for a potentially varied season. For the really old EM stuff, aside from dtown8532's points above, I think this has probably run it course because most of those tables don't have the replay ability value most people expect. Central Park being a case in point. As far as the pricing from FS goes, this all boils down to perspective. I tend to calculate in terms of how much I would realistically spend in an arcade that had all these tables in it, I can tell you I could easily blow $50 in such a place. Back in the day, going to the arcade used to clean me out, so if I take the per hour entertainment value of the tables released so far - that I have unlimited replays on - then the series is really pennies. That said, I do think paying for the PRO pricing is of really dubious value. Anyway, I am hopeful that the series will see a variety of new tables. [/QUOTE]
