Pinball at Best Buy

Published: 28 September, 2011

Can’t find a pinball machine at your local tavern or arcade? It’s no longer a problem. Stern Pinball, the last of the great pinball manufacturers and the world’s leading producer, announced that Best Buy will now sell flipper games. As one of the leading electronics retailers in the U.S., Best Buy has a huge distribution presence across America.

The company will sell five of Stern’s popular flippers online at Bestbuy.com. In-store availability is planned for later this year.

Stern Pinball chief executive Gary Stern is thrilled with the arrangement. He said: “Pinball is back and booming. Being available though an incredible retail channel like Best Buy brings pinball to the mainstream mass market.”

Available pinball games include Avatar, Tron: Legacy, The Rolling Stones, with 13 original Stones songs, and Iron Man Classic, designed exclusively for the home market without a coin mechanism. They are priced at $4799.99. A fifth – The Rolling Stones Limited Edition – will sell for $5999.99.
