I'd contribute to a Kickstarter for it, sadly. I hate Kickstarter, and I think it's a massive FAD right now that will die, but before it does, I'm half tempted to put up a Kickstarted for myself called:

"My Job took away all my overtime and I need to feed my family and pay my bills give me money now."

Man, I can't WAIT for CV to be on the ipad!!

so is CV and BoP actually out on the PS3 yet?

I keep checking but haven't looked in a few days...

Yeah, I mean..this is frankly getting a bit ridiculous. I'm NOT buying any more games on the iPhone. It's just too damn hard to see everything. I don't have an iPad and even if I did, I wouldn't buy them there because the thing is just damn unwieldy to hold and play a game like that.

They need to light a fire under Sony/MS's asses, or not release the phone content until there's 1 parity with the release dates.

Opposite actually. I have big huge gorilla hands with fat fingers. It hurts to hold the phone like that, even in landscape.

Oh, and I did ask them what happens to the money over 55k. IF they don't reach 110 and people don't pull their donations like a bunch of dicks (My words. ) that extra money WILL go towards STTNG and they will make a second Kickstarter donation for the amount left needed to go towards it...so say they make it to 80k, they will make a second Kickstarter for 30k instead of 55 for STTNG. Think their bigger problem is getting people like me to contribute more.

I own a STTNG....and virtual balls ain't much of a motivator, but the op menus would be, if that was at the 25$ tier instead of the ludicrous 100$....no way in hell I'm paying that, even if I could afford to, sorry.

Thank christ. I've been wanting BOP for the PS3 ever since I played it...*AT TPF*. DEAR. GOD.

Better believe I'm gonna crank the sound on that mother...

Just put up 454,509,660 on Monster Bash on my iphone. Epic game, Monster Bash activated twice, was ONE instrument away from Monsters of Rock, crap! 3 extra balls. And yes, I got hit by the Frankenstein camera bug in the middle of this epic game too.. =\

Well, considering I've played MB in person all of one time before, very briefly, I think I did pretty well. 236th on the overall board ain't too shabby for a lunchtime crapshoot. Sure my score would've been a lot higher had the cam not biffed during my 3rd Frank multiball and had I picked up that stupid last instrument and started Monsters.

Calm down.

MANY indie developers and Xbox Arcade devs have complained over the years about MS's policy regarding content practices. This is nothing new, it's just hitting you now because most developers go out of their way to kiss the rear of the hand that feeds them. Obviously, these guys didn't do that, now they're stuck in a poopy quagmire (alllllriiiight) of MS rejecting things for stupid stuff when they don't make the rules clear in the first place, then having to re--re-re-re-approve things as they're sent back in.

I have faith that Xbox will get updated...maybe not 1 parity with the PS3 or iPhone releases, but it will get updated. Eventually. =\

I love how they charged us for TOTAN already, now they want another 4 bucks to push the ball around the table and free scroll a camera? And if I don't buy it, I now get to permanently look at a big annoying "GO PRO!" decal on the table menu for TOTAN.

Go to hell, Farsight. Seriously.

What is confusing me is how they want more money for the ROM menus and that garbage than what they were asking for the original table in the first place.

I don't need four bucks... I need 1400. Toyota is a POS and refuses to repair their failed ECM for my 2002 Rav4 even though it's a known defect, that there was a lawsuit over, on their behalf. No money on pinball until I either get my ECM fixed somehow or find a new car.

LOL, no joke. I already have the arcade mod though, so at least the real gut-punch is out of the way...at least until Eli releases the hounds..

I'm hoping I get mine the day before Thanksgiving. That would be epic win of an unbelievable magnitude...

You're obfuscating the point in order to make your own.

The point isn't that it costs a "few LEDs"....the point is that it costs more than the PLAYABLE TABLE. They're asking 1$ less for this "pro" unlock than they are charging for two new tables! If they spent hundreds of hours programming something for a "narrow audience", then that is their problem, and frankly, a bad business decision. If it was something one of the coders did as a side project on his own team for love of the game, then fantastic....but don't sell it to me at a cost that's implying it was more difficult or more work than originally building the table, physics, and software to play the game. That's BS. The emulation, *if* it's using actual rom images, inherently has to support this stuff ANYWAYS, it's just that the test switches were not exposed to us in software.

Allowing people to view the table from one angle? Yay? That was already in the code too, since the camera scrolls in the "attract" mode on the menu screen to show you the table. Again, just a matter of exposing control to the user.

The new EM table is fun, but have definitely seen some odd behavior... I had one shot hit FOUR drop targets on the same side all at the same time yesterday...

Speak for yourself, not everyone else. You don't have to expect everything to be 1 buck to understand that the value proposition that is being offered is pretty lame...

On the other end of the spectrum, Logic Factory charging 10 or 15$ for Ascendancy (A 15-20 year old game..) on iPhone was pretty ludicrous too, but nostalgia was the far greater driver, and I paid it. Happily. I'm sure there will be people who will do the same with the Pro option. Doesn't mean that everyone has to accept what is being offered as "a good deal".

I don't believe anyone here was complaining about the cost of the tables themselves. Just saying..

This is probably an excellent point.

I finally had the last straw with TPA yesterday. IS ANYONE ELSE SICK AND TIRED OF REDOWNLOADING TABLES EVERY TIME THEY DO AN UPDATE?!!? Christ!

I am not spending another single cent on TPA games on my phone. Screw you, Farside. LERN 2 PATCH, KTHX. I'm not downloading 700MB+ over 3G/HSDP every freaking time you release 2 tables I couldn't give a crap less about!
