I have been playing Pinball FX2 a bit again recently, knocked off most high scores (mostly JFE2) who beat me while away, if you have it, jump in and let me know.

Junkyard was added to Pinball Arcade mobile yesterday. First playthough @ 92 million, and completed the Wizard Mode (Outer Space). I also had 22nd place with that score, but as of last night I'll be outside the top 100.

It's been a good season so far. Black Knight 2000, High Speed, WhoDunnit? and a few more. Looks like next month is Gottlieb's Lights, Camera, Action! from what I see in the speculation thread at Pinball Arcade Fans forum.

I'd love to purchase these, but I'm on the 360 (we've been out of luck there forever with the Pin Arcade) and I have yet to find what I would term a good deal on a PS3 so far. I'm cheap, what can I say?
I bought an OUYA specifically to get an affordable outlet for Pin Arcade, but the controller lag has been abysmal for that game. Might as well not play pinball on the OUYA with the factory controller. Has anybody here tried it with a PS3 controller?
FWIW, I love the OUYA for other games and controller lag does not appear to occur on other games that I've noticed.

Having said all that, I wish we would see more classic Stern games. Pre-DMD stuff like Flight2000.

I think Microsoft finally approved TPA for the 360 now, correct? I knew they had all sorts of issues when Crave went bankrupt.

I'd LOVE to see earlier Stern stuff. I never got to play anything but their modern output. Flight 2000 is a great example of that. I think TPA as a whole could stand to see more late 70s/early 80s tables. They're the ones I grew up on. I'm still holding out for Silverball Mania mysef. :lol:

The biggest change with Season Three is it's $5 a table now, versus $5 for two. I'm still a buyer as I understand production costs and what not, but definitely was a bit of a surprise.

The reasoning that FarSight put out for that earlier this year at the beginning of Season 3 was because the 2nd table we used to get was one that was previously on a console version of the PHOF series and didn't require any development or building from scratch, so they considered those second bonus tables we used to get a freebie.

The Launch Pack for Pinball Arcade (which has 3 tables) is $0.01 via ingame purchase.

It includes these tables:

Ripley's Believe it or Not!
Theatre of Magic
Black Hole

I posted this in the steam thread, but thought it should be here as well.

Yall who are more versed on Pinball Arcade, what is the differences in the Pro table and standard? I read the Wiki and I just cant grasp it for some reason.

I am playing via Steam and want to add the right ones to my wishlist, just incase I get struck by lighting and win something for free.
