[QUOTE="BORiS THE FRoG, post: 180490, member: 4908"] First thoughts are a bit mixed. Although the product is very well presented and the introduction of the challenges (just like that of the boxed Williams pinball classics) are a very good inclusion, I do genuinely feel that because of the (very) steep pricing system my urge to 'keep the dream alive' has somewhat waned. Sure, the seasons one and two packs seem on paper a pretty good purchase, but having already invested in the entire product for 360 the new table count for each season sort of drags up the price considerably if you take the rebuy tables into consideration - and to have to pay extra for the pro pack just doesn't make sense. Season three just doesn't bear thinking about! The high pricing system on xbox seems to be the norm with just about everyone these days (do they think xbox users have more money than everyone else ??) and I personally am struggling to understand how a game that isn't going to appeal to the masses at the best of times can be priced at such a point where it's going to be largely ignored. The full package equates to 2 triple A titles and (if you shop around) possibly a 12 month subscription to EA vault, which your average Joe is most definitely going to take into consideration when deciding how to spend his Christmas money. It's an awful lot for a 'risk' game. Which is a shame because pinball is a fantastic 'alternative' recreation which should be allowed to be enjoyed by everyone - and not just those who have to pay a higher premium on the assumption that not many units will be sold. Apologies for the negativity but I don't think Farsight will ever understand how deeply disappointed I (and maybe others) actually are. £100 (doubtless with further £30+ updates to follow) is just an opportunity missed. I've taken season one and I think that's where I call it a day. Sorry [/QUOTE]
