Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richard B" data-source="post: 18627" data-attributes="member: 306">Bobby mentioned this in the last Q and A session. He said that real pinball machines are a vanity project, and bands will agree to them for much less than they would charge for traditional video games. Not only is there a cost issue, but the band refuses to allow any of their songs to be downloaded - they can only be distributed via discs. Doesn't make much sense if they're hoping to stop piracy, as discs can easily be ripped. Since this machine has a dozen recordings in their entirety, they probably will take issue with it as DLC.Stern has said that not all the songs are all greatest hits. Like many aging rock bands, they don't want to be thought of as a nostalgia act, and want to live under the pretense that anyone actually cares about their new material, hence the inclusion of Rock and Roll Train and War Machine over much better known hits like Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and Money Talks.  They also haven't released a greatest hits CD (the closest is AC/DC Live), so it could simply be that they want people to buy entire albums to get the one or two tracks they want. So, it probably won't happen, though I would also like to see it. The table not only features great music, but incorporates it well. BTW, I've only played the Pro version, and thought it was great. Is the extra ramp and lower playfield really that spectacular that the table isn't worth playing without them.</blockquote>
