Thanks for the heads up BBIAJ, just downloaded and bought table pack 1 and 2 and the limited edition extras, many thanks.
When you finally get into a game it plays great, however a couple of initial annoyances:
Excessive load times:
From the main splash screen (Stern Pinball Arcade, Press A to start) it takes 27 seconds to bring up the virtual arcade and menu screen (Select table, Challenges etc)
It then takes a further 21 seconds to load a table, and it takes 27 seconds to come back out of a table when you've played a game to select a different table.
When you press the yellow "START" button to go into a table, it takes a few seconds before the camera zooms in to play, and when it does, the frame rate drops considerably and it does not zoom in smoothly.
When you pause a table, the camera scrolls out to display the various options on the pinball table, however the frame rate drops considerably when it pans out so it looks very clunky - this also happens when you un-pause the game in reverse, when the camera scrolls back in the frame rate drops and it looks very clunky again.
With high scores, when the camera pans up to the show the backglass and DMD, the camera is too far back so it's a little hard to see what you're entering - it just needs to be zoomed in a bit closer

I think the redundancy in buying some of the same tables twice is annoying!

I'm able to play the Premium version of the table, the limited edition version is unavailable for me, I'm guessing it was included in some sort of season pass that I bought at launch or something?
EDIT: This is for the UK version.
EDIT 2: The Limited Edition Pack 2 is now available, it includes the Mustang™ Limited Edition "50 Years" table, and the Ghostbusters™ Limited Edition table.

Leave it to TPA to make a simple release bittersweet. GB is ok (reminds me of Last Action Hero).
And why can't I play my other Stern tables in the SPA for god sake?!
But, you cant try it first. This 1 table is $10.
And if you want the upgrade table GB you have to buy Mustang Premium too.
Looks like if you buy just GB, then you have to buy the pack then another $ for the upgrade table.
I just don't remember any such bs with the FX operations. Ever.
