Have just about all the table on PS3; I'm looking forward to downloading them to my PS4.
 
I'm a Pinball Arcade guy instead. I hope that title follows suit and goes with the cross-buy formula because I already spent a bunch on the PS3 version.
 
Nice. I got most of Pinball (other than Star Wars). Loved it. I'm assuming the trophies will be the same as PS3? I was hoping the developer will give us at least easy trophies to get. Most of trophies on PS3 is based on pure luck (or so it seems).
 
I just realized I had this game on 360 so I bought tables for that version ffffuuuuu

Zen Studios boss sounded pretty happy with cross-buy stuff on 4-5 interviews he did with PSNation, for their various games, during their podcast wich usually.
They seem to have embraced cross-buy philosophy whenever they can - Castlestorm is also cross-buy on games and DLC and similar with Vita/PS3.
The game-client is usually free, and you buy tables on PSN, and play on what platform you like on PSN.
You can also import content from previous pinball-games you bought by Zen.

Seeing that MS allowed for people to upgrade 360-games to Xbox One games, like Sony did, I assume they have a system in place.
I also think it were the same on 360, but there they couldn't self-publish - so MS got all the rights for Pinball FX/FX2 there, but on wikipedia it says they were able to import the content from Pinball FX to FX2.

So I guess it shouldn't be any problems doing the same on Xbox Live, now when MS is willing to let smaller developers self-publish on Live, they hopefully will allow Zen to use the content from their last game on the inevitable XBox One version of Zen Pinball 2. :)
But I don't see it as likely as you'll be able to import tables from 360=>PC/PS4 or Wii U versions. :-/
So if you want to import your 360-stuff your best bet is waiting on a Xbox One version.
