Ok now that I read more about it, this is quite different. It's not really like GTA where the DLC was timed. In this regard PS3 owners would have gotten the same DLC drops on the same day as 360, but part of it would be locked away for a period of time, even though they paid for it. Or to put it in CoD terms, instead of waiting 30 days to buy the DLC, you'd basically be paying for a demo of the DLC. So if its like 4 maps, you'd get access to 2 or 3 of the maps and the others would be exclusive to the other platform for a certain period of time. Even though you already paid for the DLC lol.

I would be pretty peeved if I gave a rats ass about Destiny. That's way shadier than normal timed DLC.

It really isnt ..Fallout 3 DLC (substantial DLC i might add) for 6-12 months or whatever it was that was indeed the worst of last gen. Seriously these are extra areas you can visit, and though I agree the timeframe is substantial and not too my liking (I think 1 month delay is fine but on the whole dont like these types of situations). Sony are just doing whats been done before. The difference this time is Sony got their crap together and ensured it was them with the important game rather than MS. Of course i am biased because I have a PS4, but I dont like anyone doing exclusive delayed DLC - i think it craps on the userbase that have purchased your game on another console, but at least its on a console of my choosing this time..lol.

Agree to disagree. I had no problem waiting for CoD DLC last gen since I played on the PS platform to be with a couple of my little brothers.

But this is paying for to play content and then them saying "hey you only get partial access to that DLC you already paid for, until this date". To me that is a whole new ballpark. Congrats to Sony and Activision for finding a way to outdo Ubisoft and bring us down a new level. I know I said before that it doesn't bother me because I honestly wasn't planning on getting Destiny anyway, but I do worry now that this could become a future standard. And as someone who owns all the consoles every gen, seems you'll be fucked no matter what.
