i really do hope you did not come here to insult my perception on what an exclusive TRUELY is.

If you want to try and fight for the fact that the 360 version in considerably different than the PC version, i'll buy that. We all know that the Xbox version of PC based games are only really half of what PCs make them. (and that holds true for all of them with both old school xbox and 360) even GoW. which will be getting 2, thats right 2, extra chapters and enable users to mod the battlegrounds as well.

if you want to separate said games as different versions then be my guest.

but don't try and create a sob story for all the PC gamers in need please. gaming is expensive in all it's incarnations not just PC.

I might agree that saying a game is exclusive even if it also comes out on PC is bogus, but your rebuttal is pretty ignorant. 

Your much later port of GoW is coming with added content?  Alert the media!  I hope this isn't what you meant by the Xbox version only being half as good.  And if you meant the graphics, well, that's the GRAPHICS, not the GAME, and the only way that could be true is if the PC in question is in fact the super expensive latest and greatest just like starcraft said.  

Gaming is expensive for everyone, not just PCs?  Well gaming is never cheap, but consoles are nowhere near as expensive as PCs.  

Throughout the history of gaming, console gamers have been able to buy their gaming system at launch for $200 to $400, and play the latest and greatest games on THAT SAME SYSTEM five years later.  If they bought the system later in its life, they would often pay as little as $100 but $150 would not be uncommon.  (The PS3 is the only major system to fall outside these ranges AFAIK.)  

Conversely, a new PC that was anywhere close to top end used to cost $3000 (or so I'm told), and is now $1000-1500.  About three years later you would have to upgrade your graphics card, processor, and RAM to stay in top form.  You could still play for a few more years without upgrading, but now your five-year-old $1500 PC has graphics inferior to the current $300 consoles. 

So no, consoles don't cost anywhere CLOSE to computers in cost, although the difference has gone from 10x to 2x or 3x.  And the games are a lot closer than "half" as good.
