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.

yeah sure that must be the reason why MS inreased the 360 disc size by over 1GB >.>

Basically your whole post is wrong. The majority of games have lots of free space left on the discs that are simply unused. DVD-9 is enough for 99% of all current gen games.

AC III's singleplayer disc is filled with 6.8GB worth of data. Still 1.15GB left which is easily enough to include the extra missions, which are combined one hour long.

Most games are only that small because 360, being first this gen, has set the prescedent. Why do you think MS had to decrease the size of their security stamp on disc? Because too many of the Devs were giving them grief about not being able to fit their games on the disc, so having to use more discs, then lose money on sales for doing so. It has only ever been acceptable for RPGs to fill multiple discs seeing as they offer the most content for your buck. Now when Shooters....are taking up multiple discs for a system, THAT is a PROBLEM! MS realize they couldn't evade this forever so they opened up more space. You do also realize that filling a disc , or any storage device completely causes loading problems. You never want to actually use every bit available, it will cause slowdowns.
