I'm pretty blown away by how low their prices are. If I didn't have a cabinet already I'd want one of these for sure

they look great , but way out of my budget , that`s why I bought a Ultra Custom Cab . el cheapo for $2,740 au .checked the exchange rate $726 us = $1,000 au . I get 700 tables plus 12,000 retro games . mine is nowhere near the quality of Arcooda . the top of the line table is about $10,000 au .I love my racing games . if I was given $10,000 I still would buy my el cheapo for $2,740 au ,1 XBOX1X and 1 PS4 PRO $1,200 2 cockpits $1,200 au , 2 Thrustmaster wheels $1,000 , 1 75 inch LG 4K TV $3,200 au . so that`s about $9,300 au , now that`s what I`d go for . the person that wants just a great looking and top quality Pinball Table , the Arcooda is absolutely perfect !!!

Keep in mind, it looks like you'll have to arrange shipping yourself. Cabinets in USA ship from Chicago, cabinets in China ship from Guangzhou. I tried to highlight what the differences were between the machines, the actual site lists all the features, with a whole host that are shared universally. I'm really shocked at the price, much lower than expected. More accessories will be made available in December, probably the apron that can be swapped so you can have a joystick and buttons to play standard arcade games.

So what do you guys think?

 

[wolfson]

[wolfson]

Does it seem weird to anyone else that the pro model has an i5 and the standard model has an i7? Typo?

 

[vfpcoder]

Wow!
That “Standard” package for $4000 looks *sweet*!!! Add the Control Panel option and the programmable LED lighting package and it’s about $4350... Still very reasonable! And the $500 “Arcooda Pinball Arcade” support for the 76 FarSight tables is *included* at that price!

Now I need to see if I can convince myself to purchase it before the 06/30/2018 deadline!!! (And when I say that, I mean “convince the wife” — I’m already ready to pull the trigger!!)

The i7-2600 is getting on for 7 years old. I have one in my PC and while it's still serviceable, I'm looking at replacing it later this year (and, by necessity, my motherboard and RAM at the same time). (You're also getting an older GPU in the GTX960.)

The i5-6400 is a far newer processor (though still 2 generations back: the i7-8700 in the Ultra is a current-gen, top-of-the-line chip).

On the site, at the bottom of each product detail, it lists that if purchased prior to June 30th the 76 tables will be included as well as Timeshock.

Interesting Arcooda wrote today on their Facebook page of https://www.facebook.com/arcooda/ the following: "We will do our best to have all prices on Monday. But in this initial stage, we plan to absorb the freight costs for the pre-order customers and have the goods available from all major cities in Australia."

So, that would be good shipping cost-wise for folks in Australia. For those of us in the United States, I am wondering if there will be import costs for the version coming from China (which from their web site appears to be the Standard version). Shipping from China to United States could be rather expensive too. (Unless Arcooda's statement on Facebook about "absorb the freight costs for the pre-order customers" also applies to people outside of Australia. It's not completely clear.)

Just don’t forget to add in the shipping costs (which I’m dying to know the cost of)

If I were Arcooda, I'd be waiting until I had a decent enough number of orders from the US before shipping from China, just to keeps costs down to some degree. I have no idea how many of these things they expect to sell (I presume they're pushing to other pin/arcade fans other than this site... so no idea what the reception/excitement level is outside of here).

 

[shutyertrap]

I’m heading up to FarSight on Thursday to check out their cabinet, if anyone wants hands on info.

The way they've priced everything else it would be weird if it wasn't a reasonable shipping cost.

Do we know much about Timeshock Arcade edition? The Pro Pinball guys have been radio silent for a long time now, is this something they finished a long time ago or have they been actively working on it?

Finished a while ago, not something that is active.

As far as Timeshock Arcade, Arcooda has had it listed for a while on their Software page at https://www.arcooda.com/our-software/ , where Timeshock is one of the clickable Read More entries (next to the one for Arcooda Pinball Arcade).

Thanks shutyertrap! If they haven't answered the question in the thread I started at http://digitalpinballfans.com/showt...binet-software?p=273547&viewfull=1#post273547 by the time you are there, then please ask them my question of:

Will you, FarSight Studios, after June 30th still be able to fix any remaining or newly found software bugs in Arcooda Pinball Arcade?

(The answer to this question would be good to know for both the $149 usd version, and also for the software that comes with the Arcooda Cabinet itself. Although I suspect the software on the Arcooda Cabinet itself will have far fewer bugs than the $149 version has had, since Arcooda and Farsight have had on hand the exact cabinet electronics the prior is playing on.)

It would be really cool to get one of these for off-studio-time, but where to put it

Even though I'm itching to get one and take the plunge (fair chunk of change) I think I'd rather go fully VR with Pinball Arcade, even though one misses out on the motors and bumping mechanism of a 'real' table.

But if I had the space and just a bit more spare change this would almost be a sure deal...
