2 comments from guys that went to the Texas Pinball Show that will make a few people happy.
"I asked Greg Freres about considering an EM-appropriate sound setup. He indicated that they would consider via settings reducing the audio to just chimes/bells. He also said that it's possible to add real bells/chimes to the game - that the connectivity is there for it. They were removed from the game both for cost and also so that location pinball doesn't reject the game due to lack of volume controls on the physical bells."
"As for price, my buddy got a price of $5500 from a distributor."
So for the price dealers in the US can sell for a $1000 under the MSRP and still make dollars supporting what was written in here re the price.
+1
So about 1300AU discount off RRP and still turn a profit. But think of the BOM.
Takes it back close to the current price of a Pro model in Aus. Still a couple grand over for what it is, but brings it to something more palatable to the end consumer.
