[QUOTE="JoshuaKadmon, post: 22286, member: 1046"] Again, I own all available tables on PS3, Vita, iPad, and iPod Touch. I will also buy the PC version when it's available, but for now, this is my breakdown of the different versions: Vita - This is the one that got me hooked on TPA in the first place. I'm glad you can orient the screen vertically, and the touch screen responsiveness is just as good as iPad. Unfortunately, the screen is a bit smaller than iPad, the back panel makes nudging awkward, and some of the tables don't look as detailed. PS3 - Once I purchased the Vita version and got the tables for no additional cost cross-platform, the PS3 was a no-brainer. It has the best graphics of any version, mainly because of the superior lighting over the 360's strangely bright renditions, but controls suffer a little. It's only a split-second difference, but I definitely have to time my shots earlier because of a slight lag versus the touch screen of iPad or Vita. That makes a huge difference in pinball. iPod Touch / iPhone - The screen is simply too small to appreciate FarSight's level of detail, and your thumbs occasionally cover too much of the lower playfield. I couldn't recommend this version to anyone unless it was the only way to play, and cross-platform purchases between iPad seem to get screwed up even after syncing with iTunes. I've had to purchase four tables a second time on iOS. iPad - Yes, I get annoyed with the login glitches, and I hate how FarSight added the "Buy Now" and "Owned" splashes to the table selection screen after CftBL and Black Knight were released. But everything else about the iPad version is great. The vertical aspect, the clarity of the tables, the screen size, control responsiveness... The only other small issue is how difficult nudging and special features like Magna-Save can be at times. Still, I don't nudge like a crazy man in the first place. I think the PC version will be awesome. But I can't stand the graphical hiccups in Android, and since the Williams Collection was terrible on 3DS, I doubt TPA will be much better on that system.
