What do you think of the Tron pics?
Jeff AMN:
They've done what they've needed to do to stay in business, but part of it is the stubborn nature of pinball players and how they'll keep supporting the hobby to the bitter end. But yeah, Stern has managed to stick around while nobody else could, so there is something to that.
Jeff AMN:
I wonder if the investors are pinning their hopes in emergent markets buying up pinball machines. I don't see why some Asian markets couldn't give sales a significant bump if they were marketed correctly.

Because entertainment technology flows out of Asia and not into it?

They have a taste for different stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if Stern sold a lot in China.
GM killed Pontiac instead of Buick because they sold more Buicks in China than Buick and Pontiac combined in the US.
Would you want a Buick? I sure as hell wouldn't! There might be a huge market for ---smurfy--- pinball machines with clip art themes.

I just wanted to clarify/update so as not to mislead people: I saw Tron at Toronto's Playdium Store and it was priced the same as Iron Man was: $4990 (Canadian). They are currently selling Iron man for $4890. (Keep in mind our dollar is worth more than US, though not by much).
As for is it fun? The volume on it was kind of low, so I couldn't appreciate the sounds and music much. Playfield seems sparse. I played 1 game then moved on to play a LE LotR, LE RS, IM, ... even Dale Jr. had more interesting playfield features.
