[QUOTE="Alex Atkin UK, post: 124926, member: 1290"] One frame delay can literally make or break the game when you have a TV with fairly high latency to begin with. You can learn to compensate up to a certain point, beyond that you are literally hitting the flipper when the ball is already down the drain. If Zen Pinball 2 had the same issue, or the game had never been playable, I would never have complained. I would have said "crap, my TV sucks" and just accepted that. However that is not the case. As for "would I still expect a discount if the PS3 version never had problems?", normally I would probably say no but they have really been pushing these next-gen "upgrades" so maybe I would. I already found myself annoyed that I can't upgrade the PS3 digital version of Need for Speed Rivals to PS4 and I will be very disappointed if GTA V does not also have the option, should they launch it on PS4. Its a logical goodwill gesture when you are upgrading from one console to the next, particularly when you have bought download versions. This is very much a new thing, we have never transitioned from a platform with pure download distribution before so the expectations have not been fully established. One thing is for sure, the discount is literally the difference between it being worth upgrading or not for me. I have already bought season 3 on PC because it seems the PS4 is just not going to be worth it, especially when on PC I have the option of building a mini pinball machine later and can have it on my tablet AND gaming PC. I already ordered a Pinball Duo which if I can't get to work natively I will hack with an arcade to USB keyboard adapter, so I can hold the tablet portrait with pinball-like controls. I will reconsider if Sony decide to have Pinball Arcade cross-buy with PS4 <> Vita later on, but even so its not the same quality of experience is on a 10" 768p screen. Its just a shame I couldn't afford a better tablet with 1080p. I guess that is no loss for Farsight, but it clearly shows its in Sonys best interest to get this right. [/QUOTE]
