I'm hoping that they will add more tables. =)

No, but Stern isn't doing it any favors by manufacturing cheap pinball machines that often can't last 3 years.

I've watched several tables break down and be removed from arcades because on no quality control whatsoever.

I would think the warranty would be longer than 3 years.

Nah, it's not that much, unless of course you buy the iphone version, then the ipad version, then the Xbox360 version, then you buy the new tables that will be added in the months ahead. Yup, that would be me.

4€99, or 3€99 a table if I remember correctly ...? Not expensive..? It is imho... when you already bought the only and unique table (the app) for 0.99€... 9€99 for the full pack of 3 tables... Come on...

imho, a table shouldn't be more than 2€, especially if as they're saying they're planning to add nearly all the tables...

If anyone here has information when this will be available for PC (Windows), please share with me.
I am waiting a long time now for Marvel Pinball on PC, The Pinball Arcade looks pretty quality product to me so will be quite good replacement if M.Pinball never come to PC.

I doubt there has ever been an arcade machine with a 3+ year warranty. The most recent warranty I saw for a brand new pcb was...30 days.

True, but I point out PC based arcade games have a dismal track record and need *ahem* preserved.

Still pinball machines seem to be worse than arcade machines and they seem to not be as good of an investment.

I will admit those PC arcade games that require Internet connections and pay per play (i.e. Tekken Tag 2) seem to be just as bad or worse.

I'm not even talking about PC based arcade games. Those probably are under their motherboard manufacturer's warranty, not sure. There are still companies who make "real" arcade boards...
