Left behind? Yes. Left out? No. Farsight's chosen method for implementing these tables involves updating the core game (the "shell" that loads the tables) with every table pack release. This in turn requires cert review of compiled code, which is more expensive and time consuming than submitting interpreted scripts like pbfx2 tables or just data in rhythm games like rock band 3.
The last title update addressed (and introduced) issues with the four original tables and included code for table packs 1, 2, and 3. I expect to see similar title updates that include bug fixes and support for multiple packs in the future. It means xbox will get sort of caught up at these title update points but will lag behind in between. |

| Farsight has been very open with fans on their forums and Facebook regarding the difficulty of getting table packs certified through Microsoft. I happen to know the CEO (friend of my wife's boss) and they would love to get the XBLA version up to date with the iOS version, but well, business problems. |

| any pinball is always welcomed pinball, particularly when its based off real tables vs PBFX2 (I love them both, but personal preference is real layouts emulated) unfortunately as is the case with just about anything anywhere in life, politics get in the way of fun at times |

Yet they bristle at any criticism leveled at the company via their official Twitter, which they claim is for general pinball discussion despite its frequent use to announce new tables that everyone else already gets to enjoy. |

It was a bad decision and the general UI is just years behind Pinball FX2 in terms of quality. Pinball Arcade is a fine game, but the devs need to think things through a bit more if they ever release a sequel. |

| I'm hoping for Black Knight... I love that table. My uncle has one at his house, I've played it a lot. Creature From The Black Lagoon is the only other table I've played, so I'm holding out for that pack! |
