Exclusive content in the past has never bothered me, I know that sony, microsoft and nintendo have do what they can to persuade someone to buy there console, exclusive games such as Gears of War for Xbox 360, Uncharted for PS3 and the Mario games for Nintendo doesn't affect me, I accept the fact that I'll be able to play Gears on my 360 but not I won't be able to play Uncharted, I don't mind.

But when a console gets a demo, exclusive content or a beta for one console but not the other, that really pisses me off. PS3 got the Mortal Kombat demo and an exclusive character and 360 got nothing, I pay good money to use Live and I don't get any little bonuses like this. This happens all time and has done for years, it's only recently that I've been very annoyed when I found out PS3 are getting or already has the chance to play the Brink beta.

I think it's unfair how publishers and developers sell content to just one platform, I can understand games but demos and betas should be enjoyed by everyone.

If so, then they are paying good money to play it.
what's a Plus customer?
Playstation Plus is a subscription based premium service for PSN users.

I agree that exclusive demos are stupid as fudge, but you're being ridiculous. Crysis 2 ring any bells?

360 gets demos for more games than any other platform nowadays. Let the PS3 have a go.

Not that I care...I have a PC which hardly ever gets demos for big titles anymore.

Wrong. It was a closed Beta on PS3 with professional play testers only. It ended several months ago. They used PS3 because it was the least refined of the three versions. Nothing to do with exclusivity.

Technically as soon as PS Store comes back all customers are Plus customers for a month.
