Quoted from JodyG:

AP also has a very rigid warranty period...

Nope...from first hand experience. They have been nothing less than stellar for me. 100% satisfied.

Quoted from arcadem:

I really like the looks and theme of Houdini. I really want to love Houdini. But, I don't. I played at least a dozen games on one yesterday and it just isn't a game for me. I understand now all of the criticisms about how it shoots. That milk can shot, for example, requires a 'freak of nature' to make. I also understand how many have said playing Houdini has made them better players. For me, it would make for great anger management therapy. Too bad 'cuz I really wanted to love the game....

I occasionally play Houdini 'out in the wild', and they don't feel the same as mine at home. Don't know if it's leveling, what the skill level setting is set at, flipper power, etc. But no doubt about it, not as fun as mine.

The milk can shot is really not that difficult, you just need to play enough to find the flipper's sweet spot - but still I have some that bounce out. If the skill level is set to easy, you still get the credit for the milk can shot if you hit the mystery target. When I first saw the milk can at VFW last year, I thought I would never be able to hit that shot, but in the end not a big deal.
