As mentioned in the announcements section, I added 3 new reports to the VAPS statistics section today.

1 is bound to create a little discussion: Top 100 Most Desirable Machines

In contrast to the existing 'Most Wanted' Report which ranks games based on absolute #s (how many people added a machine to a want list), this reports weighs absolute #s by 40% and the ratio of how many people want a machine compared to owning it already by 60%.

This pushes machines like PacMan down from 12th place in absolute #s to just off the top 100 list on the desirable list (about 94% of members that want a pacman have one). Galaga moves down from 3rd to 14th place. Tron moves down from 2nd to 4th place, while Discs of Tron moves up from 5th to 1st. Ferrari F355, not on the top 100 Most Wanted List in absolute #s, jumps to #24 on the scored list.

#10 is Demolition Derby???

My first machine was a UR in gorgeous condition - and it took a long time to get rid of, and went cheap!

I think you need a scale on the "Want" or something of that nature. There are some games that I want, but not going to pay extra to get them, then there are games I would REALLY want and would pay a little extra to get.
