P3 reliability?
« on: January 23, 2025, 04:11:45 PM »
Im curious about the reliability of the platform now that theyve updated some things physically, any one routing them like the loungue or satellite can shed some light? Any owners out there of the system id like to hear your opinions, im looking for something fresh to join the line up

These are great for hobbyists. Right now i wouldn't recommend for an operator. They are making some improvements that will make them more reliable, so hopefully that helps. Also, don't buy if your expecting earnings it's low to mid in the pack.

No it's from whenever they were shipping with Weird Al. There is supposed to be a kit coming out to upgrade the older machines.

The one at Satellite has always been up and seems to be handling itself well, it always shoots great too.  It's a newer machine apparently so it's got the upgraded components, it feels solid

Pinball Lounge in Oviedo has a Princess Bride. Worked well the 12 or so games I put on it. They keep their games in great condition.

Hoping Portal is at TPF, I’m kinda excited about that title. Think it could be pretty fun. I’d definitely consider adding a P3 machine at some point once I have more room.

Since Metamorphic is near TPF, they usually bring all their titles out.
