I believe they said it would be about a week after the 360 release. Also, when you compare the 360 version and the PS3 version the colors of the PS3 aren't as vibrant as the 360 version. They said this was due to the "more advanced" lighting effects of the PS3 version. Personally I thought the 360 version looked much nicer than the PS3 version, but I'll be buying both.

I haven't seen this pop up on Xbox Live yet.

It's starting to look like no release today.

Yup, I was just reading about that on another site. Just have to wait then, oh well.

These guys are great, their game is great, and I'm patient. If nothing else, I've got the Android version to tide me over until the PS3 is out, then THAT version to tide me over until the PC. wink.gif

Been loving this on iOS, so I was pleased to see an update today.

Unfortunately it seems to be broken on my lovely shiny new iPad 3. The UI is all in the top-left corner of the display. Tried Black Hole, it downloaded new artwork which is lovely and hires but the frame rate has gone to hell.

Hopefully this is a temporary glitch, really want to play these tables on the retina display!

From Facebook:

"An iOS update was just released. The new DLC (Medieval and Bride) will be coming in the next update which hopefully we'll be able to expedite through the approval process. Unfortunately, we submitted this current update to Apple before we even had a new iPad to test it on, so it has major issues. If you own a new iPad, we're very sorry that this occurred. We suggest not updating yet. It has already been fixed and hopefully it will be available next week.

This update improves the graphics for iPad2 and iPhone 4S, improves the framerate issues on iPad1 and iPhone 4, improves leaderboard stability and posting, and many other minor bug fixes."

Reading the article on the Google News - Pinball feed, one of the tables scheduled for release is called Big Shot. The most likely one I found at IPMD is a Gottlieb machine from 1973. Is this the one they're talking about?

Yeah, its already on their Gottlieb Hall of Fame game for PS2 / Wii but it will be an updated version with way better physics.

Mac version just went live:

"The Mac version has just gone live and is featured under "New and Noteworthy" in the app store! On OSx, we're currently using similar rendering tech as we do on the new iPad, but at 1080p. We'll be updating the lighting and graphics quality to that of the consoles in the upcoming months."

Thanks for the confirmation! An... interesting choice for the first SS game on the Arcade. At least it looks like it's more fun than Jive Time.
