I'm confused, which of the big Three publishes games that aren't exclusive? Is this a big deal?

Sony published the Playstation versions of Ghostbusters in PAL, and apparently, Microsoft are the only one of the three where they have a policy like this for their downloadable games.

this is probably the only example you'll find. However, Sony owns the Ghostbusters IP, this was in PAL only, and it was timed exclusive for like 6 months or something.

It is an example none the less, and shows that Sony might be more open to 3rd party games, which seems to be reflected in their PSN game regulations versus Microsoft's. I don't know if there is any point in drawing a connection between Ghostbusters and Sony's PSN policies, but Sony are clearly more open with regards to 3rd parties on PSN than Microsoft and XBLA.
