Stern Creates AC/DC Pinball Machine

January 15, 2012 by RockerPrintPDF

Stern Pinball Inc. have created a new pinball game machine dedicated to AC/DC. There are three models available; the AC/DC Pro, Premium and Limited Edition. But if you are considering buying one for your games room, they don’t come cheap, with the base model, the AC/DC Pro, costing around $5699 MSRP according to Stern Pinball Inc.

That said, the machine looks fantastic and comes kitted out with no less than 12 AC/DC songs including “Back in Black”, “Hells Bells”, “Let There Be Rock” and “Thunderstruck”.

However, for those who would rather settle for the virtual game of Pinball, AC/DC recently announced an Apple app for the iPhone and iPad.

Make no mistake, for AC/DC fans out to impress, it really doesn’t get better than this. The ultimate Rolls Royce of swag taken to yet another level.
