The plastic tubes will be ditched for chrome rails because shaping the lexan tubes is too pricey or thats what they said at the seminar I went to.

Glad the tubes are going away. I think this has great potential. Hope they hit a home run.
Getting rid of the plastic tubes is a good start.

I really think they need to find a way to work pop bumpers into the design. Table looks naked without them.
Looks like a reincarnation of the whole Pinball 2000 thing, IMHO. Except the lower playfield is the one with screen instead of the upper playfield.
It's interesting, I suppose, but the screen really does interfere somewhat with the stuff you can put in the lower playfield (see the rods for the solenoids and the slingshots, which have to be clear to let the screen show through). And the clear-ness of it all, I'm not so sure. Might make it hard to see the ball - I know I had difficulty tracking it when it rolled over the screen (because it's backlit, it's like someone shining a light from the bottom - your irises close up and makes it harder to spot that dim ball). Which of course isn't a good idea in the area if you're not of expert tournament level and can predict where the ball goes blindfolded.
Auto-play is cool, though.
