I agree. though it was a different time for gaming back then. you don't see what you saw then with individual machines fending for themselves. now its banks of machines all linked. where one is bad the other picks up the slack. very very clever by ALL. the only problem is what happens to those machines once the popularity wears off?! or something else takes the lime light. it's not one machine being replaced, it's multiple given the links they rely on. question is now with the times we are in, who has the the limelight. I'm not by any means discrediting ALL (buy now by the way). but I do wonder what they have up their sleeve for when this starts becoming more noticeable. it has definitely started. and you know wear I'm putting my money
