Ah, of course, didn't realise it was out for PS3, thought it was Wii/PS2 only. I will import it then. Is there any difference between the PS3/360 versions?

Crikey, just seen the prices on ebay, £20-30 + shipping for an import copy! I'm not paying that much!

I can't get enough of this game. I play it more than most any of my other video games. It just feels perfect and the table is a lot of fun. I'm not even into cars and I love it.

If you don't have it yet, seriously, just spend the 6 dollars and get yourself a copy. It's totally worth it.

Thanks sevin0seven for the heads up, Got that PS2 version of Williams Pinball at "Tru" for 5 bucks. Unlike Gamestop this one is in a crisp shrinkwrap, no fingerprints on this Gamebook! The PS2 Williams pinball requires Analog stick. Darn! I can't use my Blaze Arcade stick with this one, non-customizable controls. The left stick is used for bumping the table. The right stick for releasing the plunger to launch the ball. Can't smack up like you would do on a real pinball machine but cool that you can set plunger tension. L1 and R1 buttons function the flippers. Couple games have upper tracks such as Whirlwind. Lotsa different camera views to see all the eye candy closeup. Williams version has great ball physics. I have the Gottlieb too, comes with older tables, overall wasn't too bad.

The Gottlieb and Williams Pinball will hold me over waiting for a Bally Hall of fame.

I really liked that game. But it's certainly not my favorite video game rendition of pinball (a great idea, a good implementation, but could have been much, much better). That and High Seas make getting an N-Gage worth it IMO.
