Like when Data East used to announce upcoming games on the DMD?
Quoted from Yoko2una:Really had to start the exact same thread with a different title? Let’s put down the whiskey.

Quoted from dasvis:I don't see why they don't already have bluetooth sound available on pins.
I agree 100%

As in playing your own music through the pin's sound system via bluetooth? Not sure how much I would use that.
I can see Wi-Fi updates and bluetooth connectivity to save high scores and share location/scores with friends. It would be nice to adjust game settings and save preferences via bluetooth profiles too, e.g. color schemes, flipper strength, audio volume, video mode functionality. Now that's the next level of pinball!

No, no... bluetooth connectivity with wireless headphones so you can hear the game's sound. That is my main bitch about barcades & such-- you cannot hear over all of the other games being played.

Oh yeah, I see what you mean! Yes, totally agree, that would be great to actually be able to hear the game in a crowded bar.
