I think people are forgetting, that JJP is producing a widebody, with a wide clearcoated playfield, plus 2 x additional mini playfields, are throwing in the amazing 27 inch LCD screen and are putting alot more hardware, moving toys n stuff on the game, and are charging LESS MONEY than STERN did for the LE AC/DC.

Well said Brett

DONT FORGET !

I think people are forgetting, that JJP is producing a widebody, with a wide clearcoated playfield, plus 2 x additional mini playfields, are throwing in the amazing 27 inch LCD scren and are putting alot more hardware, moving toys n stuff on the game, and are charging LESS MONEY than STERN did for the LE AC/DC.          When u look at that, JJP are MOST DEFINATELY in the same market as STERN, its just that JJP have decided to actually be pro-active, and give the customer MORE for less, and at a time where people who buy New in Box pinballs are SCREAMING out for a pinball that is fully loaded, not the bare minimum.

STERN, shld be making the same widebody with the same technology with its next machines, OR it will lose more customers to JJP, and so they should.

if STERN doesnt lift its game, the only machines I will consider will be the PRO, and i will never put my hand in my pocket for more than $5950 plus $200 for a shaker motor, and even then, the machine will have to be better than the AC/DC Pro, cause the music has carried that pinball machine, and only cause ALOT of us have teenage memories from going to Acca Dacca concerts with hot n nubile young ladies.

STERN needs to be worried, and at least seriously consider making widebodies again. If your competition is making a widebody, u had better start doing it as well.
