Gamebreaker
« on: February 08, 2011, 05:12:03 PM »
I'm sure this post has been beaten to death before. I've heard rumors that the Gamebreaker is coming back out?  Wondering and hoping what I've heard is true

It is RUMORS....

 

I loved my Gamebreaker as much or more than anyone else. Mine probably has at least 300 games on it if not more. Two weeks ago I decided to buy the original Mission and all I can say is ...WOW ... am I ever glad I did buy the original Mission. It has already made me forget about my Gamebreaker. I am told that the Vital Sign is under rated and is a good replacement also for the Gamebreaker if you are looking for a ball to replace the Gamebreaker.

I dont do a very good job of staying up to date with releases because my main focus is college and my local pro shop doesn't have the gamebreaker in.  Along with that the Ebonite website has it listed as discontinued.

Are you actually being serious?!? My distributor has 80 15lb gamebreakers in stock currently. The Gamebreaker needed to be re released, Ebonite sucked at marketing the re release though.

To the best of my knowledge, Ebonite hasn't shown it on their web site since discontinuing the Gamebreaker. A rumor came out a few months ago that Ebonite was going to re-release the Gamebreaker again, but people supposedly in the know said it was just a rumor and not true. I wonder if your distrubutor bought up a bunch of them when they were discontinued????

 

Maybe jls will chime in here as he is usually up on Ebonite.

Those that can do. Those that can't complain. Pimpin ain't easy, but it's mandatory.

Most things we like, we don't need. Most things we need, we don't like. Don't confuse your likes with your needs.

anyway... Im friends with and on staff with Ebonite and Ed Gallagher (Ebonite Brand Manager) and the GameBeaker has not been re-released. plain and simple. Im sure he would have told me 2 weeks ago when I talked to him at the Orlando seminar (or in the last 4 months).

I too would have bought a case of Gamebreakers until my purchase of the original Mission 3 weeks ago. As much as I loved the Gamebreaker, the performance of my new Mission has made me almost forget it. 

 

The current rumor is that Ebonite has discontinued the Mission and if true, I think they are making a mistake just like they did when they discontinued the Gamebreaker.

 

As for that distributor having 80 15# Gamebreakers in stock, I think that MTD300  is merely yanking everyone's chain.

The Gamebreaker will be re-released this year...more than likely before or around Bowl Expo (June 29-30), unfortunately no set date tho.

Ric, one more question on the Gamebreaker....if re-released, will the V2 core have to be altered?
