I'm in the "I don't think they know" boat. I believe that Farsight doesn't want to make empty promises about the release of DLC. Just look at how crabby people are on here and, especially, Facebook about getting new tables and fixing previous ones. If Farsight says "we expect it to come out next week" and it doesn't happen, whooah boy, people are flippin' (no pun intended) out because it didn't happen. They know that they sent it to Sony. They told us. They know that it is still pending approval status. They told us. I think for them to post guestimates beyond "next couple weeks" or "this month" would be just inviting angry customers. No matter what, they're still going to be people who will constantly complain, especially on Facebook. I think they should stick to posting only what they know. Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen a developer doing what Farsight is doing as far as monthly DLC. How many developers do you know release new DLC every month? Certainly not Zen. Hat's off to Farsight on doing this. It's got to be a PITA.

How did they each do on their very first DLC?
After a year or multiple years, as in your examples, they apparently are both good at it.
Also, do either of them release on as many different platforms as FarSight is doing with TPA?
I don't know the answers to these questions. Surely you do.
Please tell us.

Harmonix has problems with DLC on the PS3 in regards to the Rock Band Network (RBN) tracks that are made. They're made on the 360 and get ported over for the PS3. According to what they've said, Sony only allows them to have 5 songs per week for RBN even though there's usually more than a dozen songs released per week on the 360.
Turn 10 has been at it for quite a while, and they run into problems as well. Problems with purchasing content in-game usually. And that says something since they're a subsidiary of Microsoft Studios.
I don't have any numbers, but I get the impression that both are somewhat bigger than Farsight, but probably not all that large either.
Considering that, and the fact that TPA is probably a low priority to Sony and MS due to the number of sales, it's silly to get worked up over it all.

Some of you have a very strange sense of entitlement for a product you've only paid $10 for. Relax, geez.

As others mentioned, you have to remember this is their first time releasing DLC on these consoles. Yes, it'd be great if everything went smoothly the first time around, but I'm confident that they're learning their lessons (just as they have on the mobile platforms), and that things should be smoother from here on out.

Wow so now we'll have to wait until June for the "May DLC?" Awesome. So in three weeks, the 360 will have both DLCs available, but the ps3 may only have 1 available in 3 weeks and then God knows how long 'til the next one...
Lovely.

I recommend FarSight change their DLC tables release schedule to 4 tables every two months instead of 2 tables every month. I know some people are worried that if a table has bugs, we'll have to wait two months for them to be fixed, but isn't that happening already? I'd rather FarSight have a full month to get feedback on a 4 table pack and get all the bugs ironed out to include in the next 4 table pack update. The other month of course would be getting the 4 table pack submitted and approved through Microsoft and Sony. This should take some pressure off of FarSight and in turn we should get the majority of the bugs in a 4 table pack fixed in a single update.

In the meantime, you could play this:

It has all sorts of DLC available for you.

You should be glad that you don't have anything real in your life to worry about that would give you the perspective to not have to dwell on these things that ultimately don't matter. Think about it this way. Do you think when your life is ending and you're on your death bed that you'll be wishing that you'd spent more time complaining about game release schedules that you can't control?

Roses are red, violets are blue
We know you're frustrated, but guess what....Farsight is too.
