[QUOTE="Nik Barbour, post: 51568"] I don't want to keep repeating myself, I think i said most of this on other threads before, so sorry in advance, but to explain why... I gave up on Xbox early December. I bought the xbox in about June last year mainly to give me a decent platform to play TPA on (was playing on an elderly android mobile previously) . I've been involved for a while with Android, so when Nexus 7 was announced August-ish or late July with its amazing spec for half ipad price, I wished I'd bought the tablet instead of the xbox (but woulda, coulda, shoulda), the ensuing dlc draught and ongoing fiasco just reinforced that further. With no fixed dates for resolution and others saying change of publisher can take years to resolve, I decided to go with Android at Xmas. Reasons why:- I already own all the tables (no repurchase costs). Its mobile (the bulk of my playtime is on work breaks and I work away sometimes). I can play whilst others use the TV at home. I prefer to play portrait and can see more detail than on the Xbox with TV (it's not a massive TV, but is 1080). I can play in bed (my favourite place for gaming). Tablet has 3 control options (touch, controller, or touch & shake). I mainly play emulators nowadays, so with a couple of purchases, all my gaming's on one device now. First access to table releases and beta available for all if desired (android only). I initially thought I'd buy dlc for both android and xbox, but am so pleased with the tablet I've decided to abandon the xbox recently, drib drab release was the final nail there. I like the console graphics, but landscape for pinball just doesn't work for me. I'm 6'2" tall so am used to a high up view, I probably wouldn't mind if I was a short arse. :) I'm sure Farsight will do well with re-release - and I hope you all enjoy it when you get it. But above are my reasons for defection, it's not a sudden loss of patience at the 11th hour. Xbox and TPA have not been a good mix for me. [/QUOTE]
