The Parity Clause is dead, long live the Parity Clause!

Ok, you have got few games. But some of them just had the whole DLCs added. Ever occured to think that it happened because the large BR drive made it possible and not because of a policy which has never been disclosed by anyone?

The X360 DVD drive killed half of the games in the 7th generation and that is exactly why MS introduced that clause. Indeed look at what it happened in the rare cases where MS had to beg to get the games developed for PS3 ported to X360, like with FF XIII. The 39.4GB of the PS3 game had to be squeezed in 3 DVDs, for a total of 18.3GB. With the cutscenes (at 1080p on PS3) an other graphical assets getting heavily compressed as it has been measured after the game launched.

If it troubles you that much then that's what you should believe.  =]
