Ghostbusters looks pretty nice. This is my first time playing this table.
One thing I've noticed is that I've lost almost every ball from the "hole" (sorry I don't know the pin lingo for those) on the left ejecting the ball right down between the flippers. As I've never played the real table I'm not sure if that's how brutal that is.
Here's a short sample of the Ghostbusters table. I also noticed some scratchy sound samples here and there, but again maybe it's that way on the real table?
I can't seem to find a camera angle which shows the top of the playfield, so getting all of the letters has a bit of guesswork involved I'm afraid. It's also hard to see a lot of the detail on this since the camera angles just don't get in close enough. It's too bad because the artwork and some of the toys seem to be very well done too.

Hmmm, pretty frustrating...
1. I still can't download 1.03 nor GhostBuster on my PS4
2. The fact that shooting the ball in the left sinkhole almost guarantees a balldrain. I haven't run into this on the real table...
Anyway, let's hope I can download GhostBuster soon here as well...
BTW, is the table part of one of the 2 table packs?

I have run into this on a real table, and it's annoying as hell.

Seems to depend on the table and the setup. I watched Eldar play one at Pinfest that seemed to do it eveytime. I played a different GB at the same show and it wasn't an issue. The pin is very hard even without that kind of nonsense. The flipper gap and outlanes are very dangerous.

No Update, no ghostbusters in Europa
Super happy camper here! Thank you farsight!
Only got one game of GB in this morning before work - but it was awesome.
couple of things
the don't cross streams video mode runs pretty slow - this actually makes it easier to complete
yeah the kickout hole on left shoots it SDTM - when my friend got the real table he had to do a lot of adjustments in the operator menu for both that hole and the scoop/kickout on the right to get the power dialed in. - if we had access to operator menu we could adjust it ourselves - but it should probably be tuned as a default my farsight.
looking forward to digging in to this table and mastering the ruleset.

[MENTION=4110]tomwaits[/MENTION] - Yes, it looks like it's only available if you got it with the retail disc or Bundle 2. I can't find any trace of it in the Sony store.
Oddly, I haven't yet had any issues with the left kickout giving me a drain while that has been an issue every time I've played the real table. Probably start bugging me when I have more time to play.
I see they've also added different versions of AC/DC (Back in Black LE, Let There Be Rock LE), Star Trek (Enterprise LE), Mustang (LE), and Ghostbusters (LE), but those also aren't available for purchase right now either.
For those who've played them, is there anything much different about the other versions that would make buying them worthwhile?

I think the premium & LE only differ by cosmetic diffs (cabinet artwork, powder coating, backglass, etc.). But someone can correct me if I'm missing something.
it was the bullet drain with both flippers down that got me by surprise - but I will give it a try again.
I was having luck holding the right flipper up and letting it bounce off the tip to the right flipper, but there is variance and it doesn't work all the time.
got a bit more time with the table
some shots i that do on the real table - i can do here - way cool.
soft plunge on launch to not trigger ball save and then go for video mode - check
backhand right loop - check
backhand left ramp - check
couple of things for future tuning - hard to complain too much because they are all advantageous
1. video mode runs slow - easier to complete "don't cross steams"
2. left orbit and right ramp are NOT easy shots IRL (especially right ramp) - seem almost spammable here
3. over active bumpers - holy **** - your lucky to get one pop bumper award - I was racking awards like no tomorrow AND it was going into the PKE so fast I racked up a 16X bonus on one ball (3-5x is considered good on one ball)

Played a bit more as well.
Overall, I am a fan of this table, as well as Farsight's work on it.
I realized that when the ball is shot back out of the left sinkhole, if you simply do nothing and left the ball bounce of your flippers you will be fine. Easy fix there.
I do still think the sound is a bit scratchy sounding, especially during the intro music.
I also wish there was a camera angle which let you see more of the top area.
And finally I also wish there was a way to examine the table like you can with the Pro Modes in Pinball Arcade.
Many of these Stern tables look fantastic with very nice texture resolution. There is no reason to not let us see the table st in better detail. No shame here!
Also, does anyone know if the real table is also censored where Bill Murray says "Yes it's true this man has no dick" ? It would have been 10x funnier without bleeping it. "dick" has been allowable during prime time television for several years now so it seems silly to block it here

I have the Bundle 2 and was able to download the update and play Ghostbusters this morning, so the "glitch" was still working. I don't know if any red-faced, vein-popping Microsoft-lawyers were ringing the phone off the hook at Stern, but otherwise I doubt someone will bother to fix it if the plan was to release it this coming Tuesday.
