If you can afford $4000 to blow on a pinball, you can afford to pay someone to freight ship it. Or rent a Uhaul and get it yourself... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Sure, I can afford one, but do I need one? That's the real question. Chicago's only a few hours from here, BTW. I think I'd be better off just buying a new PC monitor. The one I'm currently using is 1680x1400 or something like that, and TPA expects 1080p, so there are some slightly annoying visual artifacts in the downscaling process.

Asaki Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I waited until the last minute and bought seasons 6 & 7 yesterday. It looked like they were already removed from the Steam store, but I went into the game, and it let me purchase them through that using my Steam wallet.

TwinChargers Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I bit the bullet and purchased season 6 on the PS3 on Thursday as well. I absolutely loved playing Pinball Arcade on my PS3 from seasons 1-4. The, what felt like forever, delay for season five had me sadly lose interest with them. I kind of think I bought the final season on the PS3 to be a compleationist, but I hope to get into the world of digital pinball once again, cause seasons 1-4 are some of my favorite gaming memories ever.

HammR25 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 If a person already owns TPA on Steam they can still get to the store page to buy seasons but it's not searchable in the store. On the Xbone I downloaded TPA and got Tales of the Arabian Nights for free since they haven't updated the app but none of the tables are buyable in the Xbox Store even if they're not from Bally/Williams. I'm guessing people will still be able to get Tales from the Arabian Nights until they patch the apps. Will be interesting to see if it vanishes on me after they patch it since I got it after 6/30.

Atariboy Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) I don't believe anyone gets to keep it for free. It's supposed to switch over to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. One has had to have bought the season one pack in some form or the core/launch package in order to be able to keep it.

DJ Clae Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Yeah, I pulled the trigger a week ago too, and now own all the seasons on Xbox One. I wonder how long it will take for more new tables to come to consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 While probably not out yet for the XB1 (They are for the PS4) and not exactly new, AC/DC, Star Trek, and Mustang have now joined Pinball Arcade as expected. All three are modern Stern tables that were previously exclusive to Stern Pinball Arcade. Hopefully some fresh additions aren't too far off.

Atariboy Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Took several days longer than planned, but Sony finally pulled it all down today. Farsight is also going to be fixing the pricing nonsense with these three new Stern tables. $10 to buy individually in Stern Pinball Arcade, but they're spread across both Stern Pack 1 (Star Trek and AC/DC) and Pack 2 (Mustang). Both of these packs cost $20 to buy. The former isn't a problem since you're only out $20, so even though an up to date Pinball Arcade fan will already own the other 4 tables included, you're still paying the same price. But when such an individual buys Mustang, you're in essence paying $20 just for a single table. So they're going to be making Mustang available as a standalone $10 purchase. And no word on if they intend to allow owners of these in Stern Pinball Arcade to ever get them free in Pinball Arcade (And I haven't heard if they work like previous TPA purchases did, which were cross-buy and unlocked the SPA version of the same table for free).

boog Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Looks like they've delisted all of the new table packs for PS4 Pinball Arcade today too. Wonder if that was by accident or if they're going to reorganize them as part of offering Mustang separately? I have SPA on a retail disc, so even if they eventually allow cross-buy on the three exclusive tables I wouldn't be eligible. Hopefully they offer some discount bundle for the three SPA exclusives. The whole incentive of bundles is to reduce the price... not pay $10 per 'new' table and re-purchase a bunch of tables that you already bought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 According to the tpa app on android, I've got 36 out of 95 tables. Much of the williams/bally stuff I didn't pick up previously is still available for trial or purchase. Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Granted I haven't actually bought a pack to confirm (Farsight has gotten enough money out of me for a while), but no sign of any removals on the Wii U. Can still trial tables, still shown the option to buy Bally/Williams content, and I'm taken to the page to add credit when I attempt to proceed. I suspect Nintendo/Farsight are a bit behind here, which is surprising to me in light of how quick they pulled everything on the Switch when the rights holder threatened them.

Asaki Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I suspected that the WiiU version wouldn't get updated, simply because it hasn't been updated since season 5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 What is Warner Games up to right now? Are they planning their own set of pinball tables? Because if they're not, well, then they're just leaving money on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) I don't believe Warner has anything to do with these. I believe this is the rights holder. Edited July 5, 2018 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaki Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Weird. I was playing TPA a bit yesterday, and it was letting me play AC/DC for free. It even let me put in my initials when I got a high score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Was able to buy the pro upgrade for Scared Stiff on the Wii U yesterday. Farsight became aware that the Wii U eShop was still a thing a couple of weeks ago, but I guess haven't considered disabling Bally/Williams purchases a priority. Okay with me.

boog Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 AC/DC, Star Trek Vengeance, and Mustang are now available as individual $9.99 purchases for PA on the PS4. Farsight said they're going to enable cross-buy for previous SPA purchases but I don't know if that's active yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
