I agree that the protecting an inferior technology comment is completely unnecessary. Its about Microsoft trying to protect its business, which is comprehensive. But I dont think purchasing exclusive rights is what Sony want, thats not how they usually do business with devs. If we stick to the article, he is talking of including extras with the available blu ray space without being boycott by microsoft. Maybe not even extras, but things that are going to get remove for the game to fit on say 1,2 or 3 dvd disc. Or thing like cross-platform, where Sony didnt pay since the devs wanted to have that, but Microsoft will not want to publish if the feature is there. Thats what I get from the statement.

Could be, but Portal 2 came out fine in april and EA are releasing SSX with exclusive DLC in january. Even if Microsoft is doing exactly what we're hearing here, it doesn't seem to be changing much. It just seems odd that Sony would complain about developers not getting enough freedom from Microsoft, to include what they like on the disc, when all it means is that it will be DLC instead.

I agree, its odd to come with such a bold statement without much examples. Maybe its just 2-3 issues getting blown out of proportion. I guess we will know later on lol.
