Found this video today. The cabinets certainly are slick. Can we
expect to see these in arcades at some point? Or is it just an
elaborate art project?

that looks pretty streamlined, it sure looks like those should be headed to an arcade. when i watched the youtube video i saw a trailer for a marvel heroes expansion for zen pinball on ps3 and xbox. looks really cool, i like my comic book heroes and i can't afford a new stern one so these look like a nice $5.00 purchase on ps3

From a design standpoint I think it is actually pretty ugly, hideous in fact. Why does it have that huge cabinet when all it is is 2 LCD monitors and a cpu. The classic pinball table look would go over alot better with pinballers and non players, just for the fact that a pinball machine is recognizable. This things design is trying to be something it's not.
Would any of you want that in your gamesroom? I personally would rather have a Global pinball Ultrapin. It looks way better, simple, and does what it need to do.
Hmm... interesting responses I've got from this.
Yeah, the gameplay looks sort of lame. I've learned that this is likely a promotion for a car company.
The cabs are slick. To me, this is the sort of cab that would get the non-player to have a look at what's going on and say "what's this?" Younger players, in particular, look at the traditional pin cab and think "old man's game".
Consider that one of the hotest selling apps on the iPad at launch was The Pinball HD, and the company claims 3 millions sales of their tables on the iPhone prior. So just how important is the traditional pin cab?
