yea.. but it shouldn't matter when you buy the DLC or when the DLC is available on what platform.  The point is parity in content.  Everything on the DLC that I've read up to this point states that the "exclusive" content on the ps4 is only for a limited time (albiet a year).  So, yes, you already paid for the DLCs.. you'll just have to wait to recieve the rest of the content.  It's not separate purchases within the DLC itself.  I doubt it's like what you are thinking with Activision or Bungie nickle and diming on top of pruchases you've already made.  Those "bonus" stuff you mention are already in the DLCs.. just for xbox owners, it's locked at release.  it's not about paying to "unlock" anything.. it's basically wait a certain amount of time frame and the content will be unlocked.. it's not giving anything away for free either because it has already been purchased.  Unless Activision or Bungie themselves come out and say, "Oh yea.. we want more money for the bonus stuff from xbox gamers", then there isn't any issue other than the year long exclusivity deal.

As for your $500 mil comment.. that's from Activision and their marketing campaign.  Bungie said so themselves it didn't cost them that much to make the game.  Regardless, if the game lives up to hype and expectations, then they could easily sell beyond your 8.5 mil copies, which seems possible especially given a game that is multiplat on 4 systems. 

Again it comes down to myself feeling they will additionally charge for the timed content and you thinking it will be free. I've become quite the skeptic about large gaming compainies being as nice as you paint them in this situation. Time will tell. You can in the very least see where some peoples frustration comes from if I am correct. Being mad cause there is timed DLC is pretty stupid, but if it means the people that own the other system have to pay more, there will be some uproar.
