[QUOTE="Silverball, post: 5000, member: 422"] [b]noticed lag[/b] Equipment - Sony HX series TV PS3 Slim (160) HDMI Cables I am a fairly aggressive pinball player and flipper timing and flipper function is quite critical to my game play. I have played Theater of Magic (one of my all time favorites), Black Hole, and Tales of the Arabian Nights hundreds of times at shows/conventions and arcades all across the country. With that being said my first impression of the PS3 Pinball Arcade tables is quite mixed. Table selection, sound and graphics are stunning and quite fantastic. The thing that ruins the experience is the lag in the controls, it's like trying to play a broken pinball machine. It leaves you with a bad feeling that makes you want to walk away. Flipper/controller lag is pretty terrible (I don't think I would recommend this PS3 version to my pinball playing friends). If there was a way of calibrating the timing, it would help. The return speed of the flipper (after you let go of the button) is also too slow and does not recover fast enough when re-engaging the flipper button. I even noticed that when entering my initials on the record boards, if you tap the controller buttons quickly to scroll left or right, there is a ton of lag. I am still looking forward to the release of the next batch of tables and hopefully there will be a patch/update to help resolve this soon... [/QUOTE]
