Starcraft, you talk as if T2 is a second party developer for MS. R* will end up doing whatever they want to with their IP. They advanced them the money to make the DLC which means they have to pay it back they didn't buy the company.

I do agree that any DLC for the PS3 that involves story missions will not be exclusive. Much in the same way I believe that any DLC microsoft gets involving story mission will not remain exclusive to them. Likely each will have the same core modes with each recieveing Home and Live exclusive content respectively. There is just too much money to be made between both systems for either one to get shorted for any length of time.

You realize that regardless of how much money T2 might have made selling the Exclusive DLC on the PS3, they signed a contract with Microsoft which they can't break right?

I take it you know the contents on that contract right?

 

Seems like people have short term memory, when GTA 3 came out, everybody and their mama were saying that Sony paid for exclusive rights to the game and blah blah blah, I even remember reading that if you wanted to play it, you had to get a PS2 as it was exclusive to it.....6 months or so later, we have the game coming out on XBox.

 

Oblivion and Eternal Sonata on Xbox 360 were the same thing, as was Assassin's Creed and DMC4 on PS3. 

 

We don't know the contract, we don't know what its specifics are, bottom line is in the Spring of '09 we could ( <---- keyword) see the same DLC that the 360 got appearing on the PS3, or we could (<---- keyword)see some new DLC that appears first on the PS3, or we could (<---- keyword) see no DLC for the PS3. We just don't know.

 

Not that I care anyways, it's very rare for me to pay for DLC, it has to be worth it, 10 dollars for 4 maps (CoD4), 12 dollars for 2 huge maps (Warhawk), 30 dollars for 30 extra hours of gameplay and huge side mission (Oblivion), etc...are not worth it to me. DLC should be nice and cheap because honestly it should've been included in the game. The only game I'll ever consider overpaying for DLC is GT5 if they have some real nice cars or tracks that I would have to try, but I'm hoping PD is nice enough to me....well I'm rambling now, so I'll stop.
