I think he thought you had the 360 version. As far as I can tell there is no install option for the PS3 version.

Really great game with some very unique ideas. Easy worth picking up if you're a pinball fan.

Thanks for the recommendation. Good to see this type of Proto release digitally (only 10 real machines ever made). That means there is hope for Big Bang Bar! (14 original Protos and 183 "remakes")

I had the fortune of playing BBB nearly a decade ago at CAextreme in San Jose, CA.

As others have suggested, yes, I was referring to the 360 version, and didn't see that you're playing the PS3 version. Sorry.

Picked up a copy at my Gamestop today, and...in typical Gamestop fasion...it was an open box....last copy they had...I guess I bought the "new" display copy.

Just picked up a gutted copy of the game from the local Gamestop for $10.96 after tax.

Used a debit card with $2.50 that I've been meaning to get rid of and paid the rest with cash.

And, in typical CAG fashion, what could you have possibly expected?

^ Amen Brotha.

Anyways, holy crap I'm gonna have to buy this game, Medieval Madness is such a great table, and the other tables are pretty neat-o too. Love Arabian Nights as well.

If you buy the game and play nothing but Medieval Madness, you've gotten a great deal.

Also picked up last "NEW" copy at GS, which was opened, and the last copy in store. I was worried it was missing something, tried looking it up, but found nothing, bought it for the $10 price, lookin' forward to playin' it!

I ended up getting another copy of the game at Gamestop for my girlfriend (I got mine on Amazon back when the 17.96 price hit), and I was really surprised to find a sealed copy at the first store I called.

I had a list of about 8 or so within driving distances, but the one a couple blocks away had an actual new copy! I wasn't too big of a pinball fan before this game, but after playing this, it's turned me into one.

Other people in this thread have said this, and I will repeat it: if you are even remotely interested in pinball, PICK THIS UP! After playing this, I can't go back to Pinball FX or Zen Pinball; the physics in this game are phenomenal, and it's amazing how accurate the tables are.

The PS2 version is $5 even at TRU.

The PS3 and 360 versions added Medieval Madness, Arabian Knights, and No Good Gofers. Medieval Madness and Arabian Knights, individually, are worth $20 each, in my mind.

How sadly true. I bought Zen and the Ninja Gaiden table a day before I found out about the PHOF drop. It feels really off going back to Zen and isn't as enjoyable overall in comparison.

OP..........thanks. I have been searching for this around here since this thread started. I finally found a Gamestop that I was going to be near that had it listed as in stock (there were 3 stores that I went to where the online stock indicator was wrong) and they had it so I picked it up.

Same here, except that I bought the Street Fighter 2 table for Zen pinball. I'm a pretty big street fighter fan, but that table just isn't very interesting when compared to the Williams designs.

Earth Defense Force is a pretty good table. Easily the best of Pinball FX, I still go back to it time to time. I'll play time to time when in between cursing the Taxi Wizard goal of getting a special. God damn randomness.

Edit: Maybe that one isn't on PS3, if not too bad it's the best one they made

After just getting my xbox back from RROD #1, I introduced my gf to PHOF:WC and she's totally hooked. So much so, that I cannot wrestle her away from the controller! She's hooked! And she's got me 325 cheevo points in only a few days. Score one more for the good guys! (And CAG for finding it at a great price!)
