Feels like time is dragging just to get to play these two tables. :-(

They should also be available on PS3 (NA/EU) and PS Vita (NA/EU) by early December. Xbox 360 release time frame TBD.

That doesn't sound promising for a November realease.
I thought they had it worked out so we would get Haunted House in time for Halloween.

That's what they hinted at a few days ago on Facebook. It's more recent info than the news thread.

waot for dat soopa patch

"Before Halloween" was what I was told when I asked.

I cannot wait, as I've never played either table before. I am worried that I won't like "Haunted House" since I really don't care for "Black Hole". Here's hoping I'm wrong.

I played the table (free version) on my Android tablet. It's much better than Black Hole. First off, the soundtrack is much better with longer sound samples. It's not like Black Hole, where you only get a 2 second sound sample repeating itself endlessly. Second, there is no penalty if the ball drains from the lower or upper playfields.

Sweet!

Sounds good to me.

Thanks for the info, shogun00! It seems I will already like HH more than BH, and I didn't even play HH yet!

The cynical side of me says that maybe they got this out early to cash in on the last bit of time remaining before the PS4 version comes out, but the other sides of me don't care.

Although I like both, I prefer Black Hole. Haunted House has no multiball.

The pack is out NOW on NA PSN!!!!!

Haunted House was fun in the arcades when I was young. Remember playing it a lot. Many found memories of this table. As a whole the Williams tables from the 90's rock, then Bally, Stern and Gottlieb bringing up the last place for me.

Just curious....what is the best Gottlieb table out there?

I'm not even sure what this means. TPA sales on the PS4 will pale in comparison to PS3 sales for probably at least a year or two.

Some truth to that. PS4 is $400 or more with games. Not in my price range right now and probably wont be for some time. Fact is it's stupid that you can't play any of your old PS3 games on this new system and you'll have to buy all the tables again. I like to support FS but not pay for the tables again. Even at a reduced rate it's still redundant. Come on you know Sony doesn't care.

As much as I agree with you, I'm still appreciative of the discount.

Personally, FS didn't have to offer us jack. (Although they probably expected a decent amount of backlash from fans had they not offered anything)

That has nothing to do with it. Sony will manufacture 4 million PS4 consoles world wide by April. They've sold 80 million PS3 consoles world wide to date. It's a numbers game. The greater install base means that PS3 software sales will continue to do dominate PS4 software sales.

I wasn't expecting a discount so I think it's very cool that they're offering one and I'll take advantage of it for sure. I was thinking that I'd just buy my favorite packs for the PS4 but now I'm planning on getting the season pass.

Depends on who you ask. Personally, I really like Wipeout and Lights Camera Action from Gottlieb. These two tables have a lot of gimmicks that really give off that "wow" factor, when you play them in real life.

Haunted House has way to much yellow tint. The pop bumpers are supposed to be white. The pop bumper in the cellar is the correct color.
