DPP #179 "Portal, Potter, and Podcasting"

Don Garrison discusses a massive week of pinball news highlighted by the official Portal P3 module release from Multimorphic, rumors of a third-tier pricing structure for Harry Potter from Jersey Jack Pinball with a sub-$10k standard edition, and speculation about an unannounced game releasing before the Texas Pinball Festival. He praises Portal's design innovation but criticizes the escalating price barrier ($3,900 base, $5,500 extended) and recurring P3 system limitations including cantilever flippers and screen maintenance issues.
