I watched it last night. Very good.

If you've seen other pinball docs it tends to repeat some things seen before but the graphics and editing are extremely well done, much better than many other documentaries of that type. It's worth it for those alone.

It does walk a fine line with some guys shown, bordering on making fun of them for being weirdos. That seems to be a recurring theme in arcade/pinball docs.

The trailer is just excellent!
+ the fact that it contains the official ammount of cuckoos for a gaming documentary...
= I want to see it too now... will try to get my hands on that DVD asap.

I watched it yesterday... great documentary  :-*
Very interesting, very well produced... like a real movie! Very professional work!
You'll see crazy collectors! Some of them have hundred of pinballs! Very impressive!
I also love to watch the pinball champs 'in action'  ;D
If I had to do similar documentary about the Arcade Collectors scene, I would follow the same scheme than that movie!
Highly recommend!!!

Why is there a PAL and a NTSC DVD version ?

Isn't that a problem of the past ?

I think it may even be better to have the NTSC one even here (higher frame-rate) ?

And no, I don't have Blue Ray yet (very little point if you still have a CRT TV :P)

Did you know one of the biggest Pinbal collectors lives in Antwerp Belgium (Aeneas or something and his wife).
He has pinball machines everywere in his house (kitchen, livingroom, bedrooms, ...). Totally insane.

Years back I visited his place and I guess it was about 50 pinballs. I know he has build a new building especialy for pins. So I do not know how many he has atm. But he is very well known in the pinball community for having almost every spare part.
BTW I have buyed a Star Trek NG from him in mint condition.
