It's pretty dang nice. The guy manning the booth said they have "serious plans" for a cab friendly PC version "soon", but when I pressed him and I mentioned that I was just starting to put together parts for a vpin cabinet, he said "Well, it might be done by the time you finish collecting all your parts" :)
For me, that might be months :-\
But still, this game really did look good. I particularly liked the way the camera followed the ball. It seemed much better "orchestrated" and natural than what I've seen futurepinball or Visual Pinball (although I really like both of those games too).
Maybe it'll help spur on some new stuff in those open source projects.

I can't wait. There are a lot of people asking for this on their Facebook page. We should all petition for the cab version so they don't lose interest in the project. It's shouldn't be a big deal for them. Porting code from Xbox 360 to PC can be as easy as remapping the controls. (no multiple monitors and other useful features though). Also, the iOS versions of the game supports horizontal and vertical play. I just worry that they make so much money from the iOS versions that they use all their resources making new tables instead of porting the software they already have.

Oh, I will buy this, just cant get it til next friday. I'm REALLY hoping they release some of my all-time favs on here (GnR, Twilight Zone, Addams Family, ST:TNG, Attack From Mars)....I would easily pay $5.00 a table for any of those listed.

Yep, and PBJ actually paid for it, too. Lord have mercy.
This thing craps all over Future Pinball and Visual Pinball. It also has tables from Williams, Gottlieb, and Stern which is just astounding.

Holy cats. I am getting in line now for the PC version and totally think that $5 a table is a more than fair price.

I was just guessing on the pricing. seems like most xbl stuff is either $5 or $10.
