This is why I feel the whole DLC exclusivity stuff is pointless and that fans of one system or another are morons for doing a jig every time they hear that "x" game is getting "DLC" on one system as opposed to another...
The joke is on them, because the developers could care LESS about which console people think is "teh best!" or even about the console war at all. All they care about is selling as many copies of a game as they can: Why paint yourself into ONE gaming corner when you can get even a LITTLE money from the other console's fans?
Unless DLC is exclusive PERMANENTLY, I'm not even sure why anyone bothers. As a PS3 owner, I have no problem waiting 6 months or so for the same (or in many cases, IMPROVED) DLC the xbox owners got. I'm not really in that much of a hurry to be parted from my money these days.
The only thing I can concede is that after 6 months or so I might not even WANT to download additional content because I've moved on to another game by then, which I suppose is the point of a 6 month exclusivity contract.
Anyway, it's a waste of time to cheer about it. I'm sure that if they could get away with it they'd release an xbox version of God of War 3 (along with God of war 1 and 2 as some sort of bundle) just because to the developer it equates to millions of potential dollars just sitting there waiting to be collected.

And new DLC is coming for 360, and PS3 in the near future, finally all can live in harmonyquack35 said:
Not wishing to start a flame war, but Bioshock has been on the PS3 for a while now. We actually got the better version, it had a graphical upgrade and some exclusive DLC.Lord Kofun said:
I wish. Doubtlessly people will start to argue about which console the DLC is better on.Lost In The Void said:
That's the most beautiful part of this debate. I am not defending the 360. I am saying that the PS3 is not better. You went on a flag-burning tour of the 360 when every single one of your points was invalid. I am not defending the 360 as much as I am just telling you that you are wrong. Finally, yet again, you haven't noticed exactly how pitiful you are being concerning your PS3? I suppose it's impossible that your beloved system might actually be inferior? There is a world of a difference between being a fanboy of the 360 and simply knowing that the PS3 is awful.Reg5879 said:
U are doing exactly what i'm doing, just different sides, I am saying that the 360 is inferior and ur saying that PS3 is inferior, so lets just sum this up, ur a hypocrite and a Xbox 360 fanboy, just accept ur a fanboy of the crappier system.Lord Kofun said:
Uh.. boss? Read what I said again. I never said that Bioshock was exclusive. I put the (360/PC) notes after those two for a reason. Plus, Bioshock was gorgeous on the 360. I'm sure that a graphics update would look nice, but it was nice enough to make it one of the best looking games of that year.bodyklok said:
Alright. If all you can do is get stuck in this unshakable, bull-headed mindset and cannot be proven in any way, no matter how true it may have been, that your system is not God sent to earth in electronic form, I am done. You cannot accept a legitimate rebuttal, and cannot prove with any substantial evidence that system A is better than system B. If I would be following the exact same method of argument that you are, then I am the Lord Jesus Christ himself, and anything you say to the contrary makes you a bigot of the highest degree who begs for Lucifer himself to relieve himself in your mouth. Is that fair, or reasonable? No. It is, however, the exact same thing you are doing: taking a thought and forcing it as proof without any evidence. Your worse than Catholics, Glenn Beck, and Michael Moore.Reg5879 said:
I would personally go with the PS3, based solely on the number of 'bug reports' on the Wikia; the PS3 seems to have fewer bugs in the core game (at least, fewer confirmed bugs), so that appears to be the superior product. It is not unreasonable, therefore, to assume that PS3 DLC will follow the trend.bodyklok said:
Obviously, the PC version wins overall due to G.E.C.K. That is the best DLC available for Fallout 3.
I am only interested in DLC while playing a game. After I consider the game finished, I'm not throwing out my cash for 2 hours additional gameplay when the phase of actually playing the main game is past.
I finished Fable 2 two to three months ago, there is absolutely no reason for me to download the new 'see the future' stuff.

Now you know how the game industry has been treating PC gamers for the last decade. I.E. Like dirt.
It does seem downright antagonising that ps3 owners acre given the game but denied the expansion for whatever reason. I guess it is hard to code for. But they shouldn't only be in it for the money.
Now I sound like a naive socialist..
