Yea, and it's worth 99 cents. Don't trash this until you've played it. It's one of the best PSN games out there, period.

@MBMBaM fan Zen's pinball games are the greatest video pinball games ever made.

@Shockwave Actually, the Pinball games from Gameprom for iOS are VERY good.

@MBMBaM fan I love playing the Gameprom pinball games on my iPhone, iPad and Mac (yes, I bought them for all 3) but Zen's pinball games are absolutely awesome on the PS3. I also own the Williams Pinball collection, and while the tables are fun, I wish they would adopt the Zen model of a PSN game with DLC tables. I think they would have sold more copies this way.

I'd like to echo a later comment - the Scorcerer's Zen table is outstanding!

If you do not buy this you are a fool. Both are fantastic games.

Man, I love pinball games (yeah, I'm that old), but I do like the old pinball machines better.

There is a place near where I live with over 100 pinball machines, where you pay membership to have free access to the place and all the games. God bless the guy that came up with that idea, gotta keep the arcades alive.

That's actually a great idea. I'm surprised nobody else thought of that.

@MBMBaM fan For a decent table generally $2-5K. For the elite high demand tables from the 90s $5K+. Shipping on them is evil though.

I'm pretty sure I got Zen Pinball for free with PS+, but I still haven't played it yet. Is it really as fun as I've heard it is?

@Ospov While I have tons of games on my shelf I keep starting this one up again and again. It isn't going to beat out a Call of Duty or Battlefield ibit it makes for a great game when you only have 20 minutes.

I jumped at this. I love pinball so when I saw 2 for 1 I was sold.

It's the most realistic pinball video game I've ever played. It's great!

I think I might give this a shot. I'm not usually one for pinball games but I've been on a huge Marvel kick lately what with the new movies this summer, watching animated stuff through Netflix, and finally getting around to playing the first Ultimate Alliance.

@Mr Hett And that has what to do with this? At all? Nothing, that's what. Now go away and take your off topic spam with you.

I only wish this offer was on the EU Store.
I lost my original download after 4 PS3's went upto to Digital Heaven.

Apparently, I had downloaded it twice onto my original PS3 due to a system restore, so lost out!

I would love to get this again, great pinball game. Tables are lovely, lots to do, very varied challenges between tables too - so I would gladly pick up Marvel Pinball to get Zen back!

Dear Joystiq: Please go in the future to get your posts and come back here to report on things that I already knew about a week ago. Thanks. Sorry for being off-topic, but the delayed reporting is getting outta hand.

For anyone who was waiting for a deal this is it. Marvel PInball tables are 100 x better than the original Zen Pinball Tables. But all of the DLC tables for Zen pinball were amazing. Even the most recent Sorcery is my favorite. I got 34 million as a top score.

Both stellar games. The haters should probably play a round or 2 before slating them as "just pinball". Heck in the old days a high score was all you played a game for...

Marvel Pinball & Zen Pinball are both very good games. I bought both games when they first came out, so this deal is a very very good deal for anyone who hasnt bought either game yet.

Plus the fact that they keep making new tables for both games is a very good thing. These games are the most realistic pinball games ive ever played.

Wow. These are seriously great pinball games. They might as well be real. If I stand and play them in front of my large screen HDTV and use the top down view, it's a fantastic experience. Thanks for the heads up on this deal Joystiq. Now all I could use are some classics like Comet and Addam's Family and I'm good to go.
