[QUOTE="Worf, post: 25587, member: 1047"] Here's my opinions. If you're only planning on playing at home, get the Xbox360. The nudging with the controllers is excellent (and remap the flippers to the bumpers and not the triggers - it's much easier to play that way). Be aware that the Xbox sound is very LOUD though, so you'll have to crank down the volume, and it's best played in a darkened room as it's a high-contrast table. If you want to play mobile - get the iPad. You can carry it with you and the details on the oh-so-nice retina screen are stunning (there are, after all, more pixels on the iPad's retina screen than the 1080p you'll get with the Xbox or PS3). Flippers are just left and right touch and nudging is a bit more difficult. Personally, I use both. DLC wise, Android will always get it first (it's up the moment Farsight posts it, no approvals). Next fastest would be iOS, within two weeks of submission (usually under 1). Then comes the PS3 (Sony desperately needs content, so they're letting a lot of things slide in), followed by Xbox (Microsoft's pretty strict about enforcing quality guidelines, and reviews + postings can take at least a couple of months).
