Imagine if they added gravity wells to bend the path of the ball, virtual pegs popping up to obstruct the path or holes opening, warp points, plus a changeable player configuration. i think the point of this should be less to accurately simulate foosball and more to make the foosball that could never be.
@ShrilataRegulus:
Yeah, I was all set to snark about how stupid this thing is, but you have a good point. Why try to replicate foosball? a normal table is cheaper and does the job better. But if you add obstacles and fun stuff to it, then I could see this having some value.
For something that is supposed to be fun, the picture is just depressing. Is that someone's vision of post-college life? An undecorated condo, business casual clothes, boys in blue and girls in pink, but HEY you get to buy whatever coffee table you like!
Look, that wussy table is for show at best. You think you're gonna be having hardcore foos-tournaments on that thing? No. You will have coffee and go "oooh. Well, would you look at that?" with your stinking pinky out.
You want the real cred, then tighten up that tool belt, get yourself a full-size foos table, a sheet of lexan and build a friggin' top on it. In addition to earning major cool points, you also get first picks of color. Forever.
somewhere. some little girl is crying. as she wakes up to find nothing left behind, but arms -- she has nothing but a hate that will forever drive her to despise men.
soooo, now she's cutting her hair short. rippin' the sleeves off her flannel shirts and moving to san francisco.

And every foosball table should have leveling feet; less wasted coasters as impromptu shims.

Never mind, make them all shirtless Beckhams, and you have a very marketable product.

I may have to amend my Steve Jobs circa 1982 vision of my ideal living room to include the Tiffany lamp, a cup of tea, and Barbie Foozball.
