It has just been put forth on a forum that Gene (From KISS) wanted $3000 per machine for the KISS license
Guess that is why the rumors are now saying a Metalica pinball machine next year
That's the first time a figure has been placed on the offer. I've been saying all along that the news I've had (from the KISS camp, not Stern), is that KISS want more control (financially and design) than Stern want to give. Stern keep knocking to do this title because they know is will outsell all other titles. They have to decide to lower their profit, but they will have greatly increased sales that will make up for the reduced margin. It would still give them a bigger profit than any other title.
Metallica would be next, although I heard a Bon Jovi rumor a while ago that won't go away..
