    I just stumbled accross this thread and here are a few of my thoughts.

    - I first saw this at the 2012 TPF and thought it was a neat gimmick but didn't even take the time to play it.

    - Next time I saw it was at the 2012 HAAG show in Houston. I flipped it and Gerry asked me my thoughts. I said "you really want them?", he said yes. My first comment to him was that the flippers sucked, plain and simple. He obviously didn't appreciate my comment but I explained what my thoughts were and he took it in stride.

    - Fast forward to Expo 2013. I walked up to the game, Gerry explained where the project was, what had been done, and the new cabinet. He asked me if I wanted to flip it and I said nah, I did last year. He of course insisted so I did. First thing I said was "you finally go the flippers right!". Were they perfect, no, but what an improvement. The game was very basic and just flipped the ball but man the difference in the flippers was incredible from the previous version I played.

    - Saw Gerry again this past weekend at the 2013 HAAG show in Houston. The game was a little further along than it was at Expo. One of the things that stood out to me were some of the animations on the screen. One that I thought was really cool was when you flip the ball across the screen it makes a wake in the water, I couldn't get enough of that...very cool. Also, the "wooky" (as I like to refer to Nordman's bigfoot) reacted to ball hits very accurately was also neat to see.

    The P3 project obviously has a ways to go but seeing the advancements from last year to this year has started to turn me into a fan.
