Arcade Collecting > Pinball
Visual Pinball.....whoa.

Holy poop, for once I actually agree with Xiaou2. I just can't get into the VP thing after playing the real thing. However, I do think the builds I have seen are simply amazing and I do think there is a place for VP...especially if space is a constraint. It is also kind of nice to be able to play the variety of tables that are out there.

Heh, OTOH, I can't understand the "I don't like it because it's not something it is not" point of view. It's a pinball simulator. It's not pinball. I don't dislike onions because they aren't garlic.

I ---smurfing--- hate agreeing with you.

People should spend their money on whatever they want. I just urge people to exercise a degree of caution before dropping $3-4k on something like this. Especially considering as you've got hundreds of pinball collectors that don't shy away from spending that kind of money on real machines but I've yet to encounter one with a visual pinball cabinet.
Who knows, could be that lack of nostalgia factor working against the things but it is a tiny niche within a small niche.

Tv prices have dropped a ton. That being said, you make valid points that I also agree with (what are the odds?) but it doesnt take much effort to lay a TV flat, hook a PC up to it, and see if a Vpin is something you'd want. While one day I'd like to have something as baller as Chris' (linked above) I know my first Vpin is going to be pretty plain jane.
If youre real pinhead I dont doubt that a Vpin will never be good enough. Just like a real arcade junky wouldnt settle for just a MAME cab :cheers:
