I'm also curious about the "Challenges" that are supposed to appear once more tables are available for download. Not sure if it'll be like the disk collection (where you need to complete a series of tables in succession and reach a target score to move on) or something different. Either way, more ways to play never hurts!
I have to admit, the Harem Multiball takes skill regardless of platform.

Also, the "tournaments" once more tables have been released intrigues me. It says prizes; I am all about any prizes playing pinball.

It comes as a demo with a crack as the full game. I assume you can just download the demo without purchasing the game.

As for a comparison to Marvel Pinball, it is more realistic. The machines are actual pinball machines in real life. Whether it is better or worse... well, I think it is better just because I own, and have played extensively, the Williams Collection, and am therefore more familiar with the gameplay (and hopefully upcoming tables).

Anyone else having a problem syncing the trophies on the PS3 version? it shows them in the trophy list, but its not counting towards my total trophies, every time I go in to look at my trophy list or compare trophies it tries to sync the trophies, but they won't.

It was also in the US PS3 version. However, I heard it got fixed in the European version.

Getting Harem Multiball in the EU PS3 version was no problem. Love the game after a night's play.. Graphics are stunning and imo this plays like real pinball! Only thing that needs work is the online part, which is non-existent yet. It will be added as more tables become available apparently.

My Ripley's table is buggy. Every time I have to enter initials, the big box on the bottom of the screen never goes away, the score never registers, and I can't get the trophy for Top 5. Also, hitting X does not make the box go away, it actually starts a new game that I cannot back out of nor can I get to a menu. I have to lose that game without a high score, and then my score registers and I can back out to the main menu.

It is also not registering my challenges completing either.

All the other tables are working fine except for Ripleys. I haven't tried to sync the trophies, but I hope that fix that soon too.

Have you tried quitting out/restarting the game? I played a bunch Ripley's last night, trying to complete all the challenges. Got all the normal ones except the first one (get a skillshot) and realized I was getting skillshots it just wasn't registering for the challenge. The table ended up glitching up where when I tried to play another round the camera stuck to the menu view with the menu disappearing. I ended up quitting out of the game and starting it back up. Completing the challenge registered correctly after that.

Also noticed a glitch while playing Blackhole. The ball (or whole game, i guess) seemed to randomly freeze for a split second a few times while playing that table.

Overall, the game rocks though. Most likely will keep buying more tables as they come.

Did anyone notice a difference in how the "Tales of the Arabian Nights" table played compared to the Hall of Fame Pinball version? For some reason I really struggled to get into the top 5 last night though I don't have any problem scoring 10+ million on the disc version. It just felt different and I'm wondering if it could be a flipper lag issue.

I've got the exact same problem and so does a friend of mine. About an hour ago, I emailed Farsight Studios. Hopefully they patch this issue real quick.
