I find it slightly odd how it seems to be totally ok for the PS3 versions to have several extra missions, and let us be honest, we all know why.

But when... that other company does it, its suddenly an outragous and filthy tactic...

Anyways, personally don't care about that, OT: Final meta: 90-92 I think.

Its ok for PS3 versions to come with more stuff because the PS3 has more disc capacity to fit more stuff on it, which Sony encourages devs to take advantage of, hence the reason they used BluRay in the first place. One of the most aggrevating things about this gen, when many PS3 owners heard that BR had such a large capacity to fit larger games, we expected to get just that. Instead we get games that get capped due to trying to meet requirements of the "lowest denomonator"  consoles.

MS actively works against the possibility of bigger games. They charge game devs more for using extra discs, and they also have contractual road blocks to stop devs from giving PS3 exclusive content. So yea, when devs actually take advantage of what is actually available to them it does make us gamers happy.

Sony paid for the exclusive content. Plain and simple.

I don't think they did. Sony stated some time ago that they do not pay for exclusivity or exclusive content like MS does. People started to believe they must have gone back on their word due to a few games giving exclusive stuff but  I beg to differ. Sony could never win a bidding war with MS, hense the reason they want to stick to their guns and not attempt it. The second they start, it will become common place for all . I do think they are giving these devs some kind of incentive to give them special treatment. I did hear that Devs make more money on every PS3 game sold in comparison to NIN and MS, maybe that is it, plus the free advertising during trade shows. If that is "buying them off" than i guess they employ different but similar tactics. Yet they will never "loan" a company 20million just to get exclusive stuff, it just goes against there core company beliefs. This is possibly why they just don't get nearly as many deals as MS does for exclusive content.
