whoa whoa whoa... Unpaid?? (thinks about all the actual pinball tables that are there and being able to play TPA without distractions for a day) Um, I could maybe make that work! Truth be told, I think the only value in some of us actually going up to test would be to point out the obvious...

Ahhh. See, we didn't get any mail yesterday so I assumed it had already started! And my kid has both Monday and Tuesday off, so that's why I figured Monday was the actual holiday. Sometimes I'm too lazy to just look these things up!

Shoot, if they'd ask I bet a few of us SoCal locals would go up and do testing too.

I don't like the straight overhead camera because that's not how it looks when I play an actual table, but I get why some do. As for the backglass, I agree in it being cool to see. That's why I wish instead of seeing arcade carpet, we could see this... I also like that because you see ALL the...

Didn't they just announce no more mail on Saturdays? Also, don't count on mail for Monday, believe its a holiday.

That's funny! Here I thought he was only the Mayor of Pintown!

It's why I can't buy online for electronics. I need to see it in person, put my fingers on it, run it through my own little gauntlet of tests. I'm looking for a new computer monitor, and though online has narrowed my choices down, I still need to see one in person. Just found one I was looking...

I agree. Especially with TPA at my fingertips, I no longer care about Zen going off the rails a bit with animations and wackiness. When Zen was the only game in town, that was a much more valid argument.

Yep, FarSight is right there in the thick of it. 'Course with how much snow that just got dumped on them, not a lot of people gonna be doin' much of anything but skiing!!

It's the psychology of purchasing. You are presented with a table for $5, easy purchase. Two weeks later, another $5. Eventually you have all the tables and you haven't really thought about the money spent. The reverse of that is having all the tables available now and seeing a price tag in your...

I guess if it is completely refundable, that's something. I'm just not a fan of putting money down if I don't know exactly what I'm paying for!

Now I see 'em! I like that mix of incandescent and LED much better than full LED. These look to have been done very tastefully.

Is it me or are the pics not popping up?

Sound from the actual ROM audio is mono. Even though you see 2 speakers on the actual table, one was a tweeter, the other a midrange, no actual stereo going on. I asked Norman about this, even going so far as to say that the mechanical sounds on the table, as they are real and in front of you...

Yep, that's some cabinet art there. Would you seriously pre-order without seeing one lick of what the actual play field looks like?

I agree with Firepower needing some warmth to the lighting. Dr. Dude is looking good though.

For Xbox you're gonna see TZ and ST:TNG released first. After that, my guess would be at least a 2 week separation between table packs at the minimum. No way are they gonna dump 'em all at the same time. There's been much talk about keeping the game high in profile on XBLN and how to do that. I...

I love High Speed. Just a classic System 11 table. Is The Getaway better? Sure, it's the same layout with wizard modes thrown on. And yeah, it costs waaaaaay more. But your question is, would High Speed be a good first table, and I gotta think it would be. Talk to Skill_Shot to hear all about...

The arcade I worked in had the pinball tables right up front, sitting in front of windows! There was a tint on the glass, but it was plenty sunny in there. At night, we had the overhead lights on. They weren't directly above the tables, so the tables were able to show off the lights a little...

Vertical and Horizontal hold? Dude, the tv is not THAT old!! There's no rabbit ears coming out the back! I'm telling ya, Pioneer, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, these were the kings of the big screen right when HD was coming out. They ALL had large overscan for HD broadcast. Wanna see what is involved in...
