In all fairness, the "special in some way" thing is a tactic Sony used against them before and quite effectively. When Microsoft was buying up one year exclusives at the beginning of last generation, Sony told developers that they could only release on Playstation if the game was markedly improved over the initial release. Sony fans had to wait a year--and at that time, we didn't know about the limited terms--but the result was a superior game. I can't criticize Microsoft for using the same strategy.

Yep, exactly.  When devs were struggling to wrap their heads around the PS3's architecture and games were coming out later, Sony had the exact same demand of devs.  I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it, actually.  

Mass Effect 2 was released a year later with NO additions at full price so, i would like to know where people are getting this from
