    A correction would be nice

    Quoted from Darscot:

    Both of these points are irrelevant. The fact that pinball is its own enclosed space makes online much easier. You do not require sync so you can play pinball online in real time with anyone that has every played a game online. There is no requirement for them to be online at the same time as you. It's like Golf, or Ghost racing there is no direct interaction between the players. Countless video games have online interactive modes that are not actually in sync. That is the beauty everyone could get to play against anyone.

    Comparing scores on 2 different machines is pointless unless both are guaranteed to be setup identically, which is impossible. It will never happen. Even keeping high scores on the same machine over time doesn't mean much because things change.

    Quoted from Darscot:

    I am so sick of this argument. People try and cheat at everything. This is not a battle to the death. It's being able to go to your machine and say I would like to play against Elwin. It grabs his last game, and as you play what he does is played back. So it either yells out or plays on the LCD his shots, modes and score in real time against you. You get to see how he plays learn what he shoots. You most likely get your ass handed to you but you might actually win a few games. You can compare how you and all your friends do against him and each other. No one is saying you should bet your car or expect it at the Olympics. You can share games that you kick ass with other people.

    Sounds like what is already available on YouTube?
