I would probably just buy it, and then show Sony what you have already purchased all the packs that allow you to get a discount. They should then refund you the difference.
Think I might do that, cheers

Are they ever going to fix it so people can upgrade to pro for the discounted $5 since the pro discount wasn't available to some at time of purchase?
Except you could end up spending as much as the refund on the damn phone call to Sony to get it sorted. No way I am risking that personally.
I only have ONE pro pack, Star Trek TNG, and its especially annoying as I have never used any pro features yet.
Farsight definitely are losing money on this. Sadly in my case Sony aren't as I have had funds in my PSN account since December just sat waiting for them to fix this.
What is doubly annoying is that at PA launch we also got an additional 10% off, which it looks like they have no plan to reinstate even though it was impossible to benefit from it at the time.
To make matters worse Zen Pinball 2 is free to transfer over tables and they also give u a new table for nothing. OH and it's in 3D. Farsight u need to up your game ASAP

TPA PS4 tables are much improved over the PS3 versions. It costs FarSight money to pay people to make those improvements.
Best Buy has then online. Ditto for Amazon. My local Walmart stores have them in-stock. That all was not the case two weeks ago.Speaking of paying for stuff.. I was near a Best Buy and figured I'd stop in and pick up a PS4.. and they didn't have any in stock. I was surprised, it never even occurred to me as I was walking in that they wouldn't have any. I figured over a month after Xmas stores having them in stock wouldn't be an issue anymore but I guess I was wrong.

The lighting is the only improved feature on ps4 (and it only really looks great on a handful of tables where others look ok), absolutely nothing else has changed (textures are pc/ps3 quality, table art is slightly blurrier due to a smoothing filter)and with the stupid launch issues of no controller remap option , no friend leaderboards, low quality sound and no controller vibration the ps4 version is a (temporarily) underdeveloped compared to other versions.
Quite frankly, I don't think Farsight have the staff or the funds to do the game justice. Its a shame, as the plan of having accurate simulations of the original tables is a grand one, but at the pace the tables are improving we are a long long way from that lofty goal.
Don't get me wrong, its a fun game to play, but too many people have posted saying how the flippers are wrong, the ball physics are wrong, and the graphics at their best are still far short of looking photo realistic even on a platform that should be able to achieve it. It would certainly go some way to offset the problem if they would fix that awful environment the virtual table is rendered in.
The PC version was a step in the right direction, at least it means its unlikely to be abandoned once the NEXT generation of consoles come on the scene. But we need just as much work going into remastering the old tables as bringing out new ones, and while that may have happened on the PS4 versions it really doesn't feel like it. I found the PS4 version a huge let down, I thought it would look much much more realistic.

Nothing else has changed ??? you are joking right ??
Stable fps and no flipper lag is worth buying the ps4 version for, it does have some flaws on other departments like the sound, leaderboards and rumble, but those things will be fixed eventually, going back to ps3 for the current tournament makes you see how much better the ps4 version is vs the ps3 version ( i could barely get passed 300 mil in a mm game while i scored over 400 mil on my first ball on the ps4 version a week earlier )
