Yep. Didn't work for Sears either.

love it, buy 1 real (stripped down pin) for $6K or get like 15 classic tables for your 360/PS3/Wii for like 20 bucks

Having both real pins and Pin2k for the Xbox, I can tell you that your comparison is like eating steak vs. eating a picture of steak.
Edit to add... I also have Williams Pinball Classics, in case thats what you were referring to. Nice for checking out and learning the rulesets of "real" games but as an owner to two of the actual pins in the game, there is absolutely no comparison to playing the real thing.
I say this as someone who still wants to build a digital pinball to fill in gaps, but there is just no way any of the video stuff comes close to having an actual pin.
Malenko:
I was pointing out the irony of them being listed on the same page.
I know nothing is quite the same as having the real thing, but your comparison is a little off. Its more like wanting a Ferrari and driving a honda. A Ferrari is way awesomer but a honda is cheaper and more likey to get purchased by the masses =)
That being said I'm still working on getting my first pin but money has been tighter than a virgin's butthole. Owning a house is expensive.
ChadTower:
Wait! Are you telling us that one thing is not the same as something else that is in fact a different thing? What the hell?!
Sesame Street was right. One of these things might not actually be like the other.
