However, i reckon this interview with Gary over in NZ at Pincade is great.  The fact that the CEO is getting out among his 'collector/hobby' customers, having a good time and listening to customers has to be a good thing.  Apparently he is also meeting distributors in Australia today.

Sorry, but I didn't hear anything that hasn't been said countless times before by the salesman. If he had openly discussed to camera operator/collector concerns regarding affordability or code delays then I would be impressed.

Instead we get the usual allusions to the three legged stool analogy when one of those legs (operators) has just about been ground down to a stump, and new general players who want one in their house but see the cost of entry as increasingly out of their reach so what does that leave you with? The third leg which he is cashing in on by travelling in person across the globe to spruik to them in person whilst at the same time writing the whole trip off as a tax deduction by including a speaking engagement to distributors.

Current favourite machine as always is the one that is on the line - GoT of course then mentions the new game GB which is upcoming that will then take number one favourite spot. Too bad that question wasn't asked when MMr was on the line. Awkward  

Only thing different is that NZ/Australia is now very important to Stern. Much like Melbourne/Sydney/Brisbane/Adelaide is the favourite city of any touring band.

I know for speaking ill of one's God that my "tounge" should be cleft in twain, but like the book says - thou shall not worship false idols.
