shardian:
Wouldn't it be funny if I got a C&D letter from a Stern lawyer asking where I got my info? That would be hilarious.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say:
2 flippers
3 pop bumpers
2 bays of worthless targets to spell "Hobbit" or "Bilbo".
2 ramps
and a whole crap load of 2-d "toys" made of pieces of flat arcrylic with inkjet art on them.

Not sure that's fair...
Stern still partners with most of the good designers to have their designs made. From a pure gameplay perspective, the games are typically pretty solid. I can agree with the inkjet art, but the actual designs aren't bad. They're kind of on a hot streak with Spider-Man, CSI, 24, and NBA. All of them play well and have had some great designers (Steve Ritchie, Pat Lawlor, etc.) involved with their creation.
RayB:
They should attempt an original non-licensed title.
Or they could have also innovated and cashed in on the rythm-game craze and come up with some sort of pinabll / rythm game hybrid.
Hard to do without pinball designers though. :D

Video mode on Elvis is a DDR clone. Most collectors HATE that video mode.

Yeah, Stern are screwed.
Anything that would make in-roads with a younger newer crowd will be crapped on by "the collectors", and yet catering to just the collectors is barely sustainable as a business.
Bye Stern!
