[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 240050, member: 3745"] There was a smaller version on the set, though never mentioned on-air. The leftmost unit (farthest from the camera) was smaller and looked like it was on a tabletop rather than legs. Lori was looking at it while the sharks were playing. The site shows a mini version for $4k, which is obviously still way more than a few hundred bones: [url]https://virtualpinball.com/products/mini[/url] But no matter what you do, you can't get all that super-cheap with it. The PC and displays are each going to be a few hundred bones before you even get to the cabinet. The floor has got to be at least $1k to manufacture so like $2k retail. If VPcabs is at all smart, the hardware can be used to run Visual Pinball as well, even if he doesn't advertise that thanks to grey-area legality, there has to be a wink-wink way to communicate that selling point. The page for the Classic does mention Pinball FX2 "and hundreds of classic pinball games". [url]https://virtualpinball.com/products/classic[/url] (Edit: I see now that the FAQ mentions a frontend downloader for Visual Pinball tables. That sounds like the perfect way to make it available while pushing the legality issue onto the consumer.) 15% per unit to Zen sounds insane. Why not scrape together a bunch of free Visual Pinball tables? Let the consumer buy Zen as an upgrade. [/QUOTE]
