All this really proves is that we need the light slider, 'cause I love the way the table looks as is! I like my pinball colorful, not all drab and gloomy like Taxi and NGG, which are VERY colorful tables. I don't know, maybe I spent too much time playing pinball in brightly lit arcades back in...

And about around the hour and a half mark, it really starts feeling like you've been doing nothing but homework!

And here I'm loving the plunger. I'm using view 1 for the plunger, by the way. I just pull back a little, that gives me a feel for how much farther I need to pull back to get in the skill shot zone, and then I pull back a touch farther. I was consistently getting the ball into the skill area...

While you are technically right about the halving of resolution with passive 3D, it is all but imperceptible to the brain. Get close enough to the TV and you see a slight 'screen door' effect, but that's sitting like 6 feet from the set. The advantages of passive over active include brighter...

Well CRT tech is good for at least 20 years before common failure, while current flat panels are only rated for 8-12 years pixel life. Planned obsolescence. As for 4K, it's a chicken and egg thing. Without 4K content there is no need for a 4K display, without the display there is no need for...

Are you now gonna declare this table 'broken'? (sarcasm)

Yep, it's a bear to time your hit on that flipper. Is it a mini flipper? Seems like it. I got used to it on single ball, but during multiball I had no hope of using any kind of technique or timing!

TV! My first love is movies and television, and the ability to play games on the television. As much as I love pinball, one table ain't gonna do the trick! I'd love the Sharp Elite 70", but no way am I forking over that kind of coin again. Since I want passive 3D, it's gonna have to be an LG or...

I must have a really heavy finger, 'cause I don't really have an issue with not having upper flippers flip. I've actually used the 2 stage effect a lot on RBION, but I do agree that it should be a users choice thing.

Well now that we finally get to play, let's discuss!! There are some noticeable bugs I'll point out right away that I and others have experienced. 1. Finish one game, go to start another and a score pops up showing zero points. Once that screen clears, the buttons for a new game appear, but...

It's actually a pretty bad photo. Took during the daytime, which on my TV means the sun is washing out the screen. At night it looks much better, but Taxi has some fairly muted coloring going on compared to the mobile version. Now that I'm playing TZ on PS3, Taxi, NGG, and Harley look downright...

Had the camera get stuck on the gumball machine when I shot the powerball into it to start gumball multiball. It center drained all the balls and then popped back out to normal view to launch my next ball. Sure these are bugs, but nothing that stopped me from playing a game immediately after...

Norman is in charge of QA, he assured me they DO test the tables on consoles there in the studio. Just sayin'.

Yep, had that happen twice already. Know what I did? Backed out to the main menu and then loaded up again. No big whoop.

Exactly, they wouldn't. And again, they wouldn't solve the problem with Zen, because it needs 720p. If no 720, it drops down to 480i (the only game I've ever come across to do that). As for the model of my tv, it's a Pioneer Elite Pro510 HD. There is a way to adjust the overscan in the service...

Haha. Funny. Sure beats your black screen on the Xbox, huh?

I thought about that, and I even mentioned it to the guys at FS when I visited. Ultimately though, I'm the 1% that is suffering with that, so it'd be a complete waist of their resources to put in a configurable screen option.

No. It has an RGB port, like what computer monitors used to use. A long time back (talking PS2 days) I tried using an adapter from Japan to work through there, but no dice. Honestly though, what would it matter? The TV is simply incapable of rendering 720p or 1080p. Back then, 1080i was thought...

component RGB. No HDMI on this TV

So I've mentioned here and there about the problems I have with my TV and displaying of both TPA and Zen. Thought I'd put a visual reference out there. Mine is a Pioneer Elite 53" rear projection TV that is 12 years old. It can only display HD in 1080i, otherwise it drops down to 480p. The...
