1 hr 15 min
Summary
Rush pinball impressions: impressive art, aggressive pricing, Pro tier most compelling value despite LE features.
Kevin and Nick discuss their initial impressions of Stern's new Rush pinball machine, focusing on pricing increases, art design by newcomer Michael Barnard, playfield features differentiated across Pro/Premium/LE tiers, and the involvement of the Rush band and Ed Robertson in callout recording. They critique pricing strategy ($6,999 Pro, $9,000 Premium, $11,100 LE vs. Led Zeppelin lower pricing), debate platform features like Stern Connected achievements, and express concern that Premium tier lacks expression lighting while offering limited gameplay advantages over Pro.
