Quoted from Vengeance

Funny ou should mention that, my first instinct was a to buy a SPP because I've been wanting one for a while and now is the perfect oportunity to get one, my other option I've be mulling over for a while is a Big Screen TV.

Get a SPP...that way I can play it when I visit   Plus everyone and their dog has a big screen (well, except for me that is ). You can always buy a big screen w/ zero down and pay it off over a year or so w/o interest. All the big stores have that option now...they want to move product. Buying a pinball on those terms isn't possible so the pinball makes more sense (and I want to log some time on SPP   )

Congratulations Adam.

I agree with Duane, get the TSPP.  Just think of all those big-screen TV's competing with Addams Family, Twilight Zone etc... in the early 90's.  15 years later...which is better to currently have?

You won the prize playing pin. It would be more memorable if you used it towards your collection.

My 2�

Exactly .. it was won in the hobby it should stay in the hobby, although a TV is a good runner up choice in the event you can't find a decent TSPP.

Congrats on your achievement.

TSPP's can be had NIB. I'd rather uncrate a new pin than a new TV. By the end of the Christmas holidays, you'll be able to find 40" LCD TV's for under $1k (if you look hard enough, you might be able to find them now for that price).

The point is, you'll be able to scrape together the money for a TV any ol' time, but you can nearly afford a NIB pin now.  

World Champ.  Wow. Congrats dude.

I've done the NIB thing before and I doubt I'd be able to find a NIB SPP for 4K after shipping and if it came from the US, taxes on top.  I'd most likely go the HUO route and in the limited looking I've done this far I haven't seen any SPP in the local area.

I'm still leaning toward the TV tho, my other half also likes that option which is good because it would be nice to get something for the house instead of for my collection.  I don't have the room for a new pin in the basment I'm pretty cramped in their with 8 as it is and while it would be cool to have the SPP the TV just feels like the better choice right now.

Congratulations!

Go get a TSPP, perfect game to start practicing for next year's competition.  

Adam,

I keep flip flopping, now I'm thinking the SPP is the better choice, anyway first things first, I need to get the rest of my winnings released from the US goverment or I won't be getting either.  

Now you're talking! Remember my logic. Works great on the other half "It's cheaper than a psychiatrist"  

Duane

Congrats! That is awesome!
