It has been rumored that the PS3 owners will be able to play as the Joker in Batman Arkham Asylum from release and that this will be an exclusive to the PS3. These are just rumors at the moment (despite the sign, literally a billboard how sad, that went up on the PS3's home. rumors and PS3 fanboy fapping material. But this story did make me wonder is it really going to be a PS3 exclusive and if so why this mini vendetta against the 360?
Honestly, I'm glad that the PS3 is finally getting some exclusive deals. I mean, I think the entire concept of exclusive titles is silly, but I understand that it helps drive the sale of platforms. So, in that aspect, I'm glad that the PS3 is finally striking back at the exclusive-driven 360. It makes the battle that much more interesting.

As for the "mini-vendetta", though... No offense, but that's a little dramatic, don't you think? I mean, until recently, the 360 got the Fallout 3 DLC, whereas the PS3 did not. It's only with recent news that that is being changed. Same goes with the DLC for GTA IV, only the PS3 isn't getting that. There are numerous other cases of the same scenario, and I'm not talking about DLC for 360-exclusive titles. Would you call that a vendetta against the PS3? Of course not.

Also, for the record: Eidos has confirmed the "rumors", and the Joker will be available as DLC for, and only for, the PS3, via the PSN. <url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/joker-exclusive-to-arkham-asylum-ps3>Research <url=http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/46415/Batman-Arkham-Asylum-PS3-Nets-Exclusive-Playable-Joker>is <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/91189-Play-As-The-Joker-In-Arkham-Asylum-PS3>awesome.

Umm, I don't really know what you're talking about, especially looking back at all of the exclusive DLC the 360 has gotten so far. And btw, it's more than a rumor and the Joker will be exclusive to the PS3, as shown here:http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/joker-exclusive-to-arkham-asylum-ps3

Doesn't really bother me though, I've got both systems regardless.

Joker not playable on the 360? I am officially not interested in that game anymore.

Meh. I'll still buy it for the 360 instead.

Playable Joker would be nice, but it's not deal breaker. Using a controller I like is still more of an incentive.

Yeah, this is the first real bit of exclusive DLC the PS3 has really had (no doubt there will be other minor things, don't bloody pull me up on it). The game still looks ok, I doubt the quality of it will hinge on some most-likely half arsed, tacked-on Joker section.

Actually I heard PS3 is getting the GTA 4 DLC soon, but who knows?
They won't. Rockstar North approached both Sony and Microsoft with the DLC, but only Microsoft agreed to finance it, therefore Microsoft gets exclusivity. If Sony had also agreed to put money up, the DLC wouldn't be exclusive.

Not even the fact that the Joker is a PS3 exclusive would convice me to buy a PS3. I didn't plan on getting it anyway. But since Xbox 360 has the GTA stuff. It's nice to see the PS3 getting something exclusive.

Yeah, I think I heard something about the GTA DLC coming to PS3 too. But on topic, if it does come to the 360 I wouldn't hold your breathe, I mean look how long it took for the Fallout DLC to come to PS3.

Not exactly, the 360 has had a lot of exclusive DLC, whereas this is the PS3s first (that I know of). Its barely a vendetta.

Its lame, Xbox360 should be the only console with exclusive content. Maybe Ill get a PS3... or not.

The only reason that the 360 gets a fair bit of exclusive DLC is because microsoft buys it for the console. Now if sony has done this then okay but i that is the case my next question is why the hell Microsoft hasn't put up the funds? that seems very odd. Also to the guy who said it is more than a rumor. That billboard on PS3's home was taken down apparently and there has been no official confirmation on it yet. and can you actually take Sony seriously now? did you not see at E3 when they said that the final fantasy would be an exclusive and then the next day the team behind it said it actually wouldn't be? It might be a good idea to check next time Sony.

I'm predicting a Soul-caliburish escapade here. Don't know why the joker though. Had a hard time taking him for a dark villain, aside from the Nolan version.

I'd have wanted Victor Fries. Or Bane.

Well the 360 might get Croc or one of the other characters instead of the Joker, hopefully.

This as well actually, the characters will probably end up as DLC for the other console (if the 360 get any characters).

Oh please, every time the PS3 gets something the 360 doesn't, 360 owners always act like the victims when really the PS3 has been getting nary a teet to suckle on with anything the 360 gets as DLC.

It has been confirmed that Joker rooms for Arkahm Asylum will be exclusive to PS3 as it has been confirmed for some time now actually, as detailed by the articles TundraWolf gave. How long it will be exclusive, I have no idea, though I'd imagine it would be like the Bioshock challenge rooms.

Completely off topic, but what's with the MM thing? I'm seeing it everywhere.

It was a competition between game developers on the Escapist, a parody of College Basketball I think. the MM stands for "March Mayhem/Madness", so we put up avatars with the MMs on there. I havn't changed mine yet so it's still up there.
