I'm tellin yah, go digital! I have been playing pinball since I was a kid and just got a VR pin. 658 tables all in 4k with feedback. All the classics from 50's to TNA including Fathom. I don't even have to worry about installing anything, eventually updates will be automatic and have online compitition. Mechanical pins people pay $$ for will eventually become wood crates when technology takes over.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:No way, it's not the same thing, not even VR, not even close and I say that having built a VR pinball cabinet. Wearing goggles is awkward, can't play with others either ("Its your turn to wear the goggles"...no). It's a cool concept but its the same as flight and racing sims being its a simulation and doesn't come close to replacing the real deal.
Everyone I know that has had a full size digital pinball cabinet has sold it. Have seen it here countless times. People sell them to buy real pins as they are not a replacement for them. Finally, those $7k - $9k virtual pins will be worth $500 (if that) 10 years from now while a real pin will likely maintain if not go up in value.

Goggle pinball is dumb. No way would I play that. Virtual has come a long way in the past year,nudging,skill shot,4k etc. People in denial are just stubborn. I have as much fun playing it as the rest of my pins. 600+ games and titles they will never make for pinball like he-man and halloween. Worth every penny than a brick. When the online stuff hits mechanical pinball will go bust a second time.
