Just in case TOTAN doesn't happen...which of these would you choose, and what would you pay??  I know many will say neither and they wouldn't take them for free, but try and be objective!!  Thanks!!

Jim:

You already know the answer, neither. Have you played them? Only you can be the judge, in the end you have to like them. If these games are $2000 or less, then try them out, you can always cash out. But to spend good money on these "duds" in my opinion, forget it. Buying just to buy makes no sense.

Sopranos >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WPT. WPT IMO is Sterns worse title to date.

I thought you were done.

I don't like the art much, but I like WPT better than Sopranos. Of course, the art blows on Sopranos too, so it shouldn't factor into it much. The drops and upper PF are very cool on WPT.

I never seen or played Sopranos.. but WPT is the only pin i walked away after 2 balls in the last 3 years (and it was a HUO one at a friend's place..)

I didnt feel like i wanted to continue playing it, maybe i should have... but its now in my unwanted pins list ! Even past on it when he was selling it at a great price.

I wouldn't pay for either, not sure why you would be considering either of them, espically since you said you just walked away from a WPT.  Even for 2K I wouldn't buy it, unless I was going to turn around and flip it for more money.  There are way better games in that price range tho.

But if I had to choose I'd choose Sopranos over WPT.

They both suck, but if you are bound and determined to get one....I would suggest WPT. I actually think Sopranos is a better game, but I'm basing my suggestion on your interests. Given your name is JVegas, I think the poker theme will hold your interest; however I strongly suggest you give it a try and see if you like it. Personally, I found the music and voices rather uninspired. Also, getting multiball was very easy.

I've only played WPT (in the Allentown 2006 tourney) and I really quite enjoyed it...fairly open playfield, lots of target shots, the center playfield graphics were cool, the upper playfield is fun and challenging and even though honestly I don't care for playing poker in real life it was fun to ascend through the ranks.  I personally haven't played Sopranos (nor even really seen the show before) so I can't compare but I walked away WPT knowing that I wanted to try it again for sure.
