There is absolutely zero chance that the only way to get maps is to preorder digital. That just doesn't make sense. They would be shutting 90% of the possible buyers out of the market.

Oh, it's true, it's DAMN true: 

The video simply does not say what you think it says.  It says "get immediate access to (maps and stuff), only be preordering......"  The key word there is immediate.  That tells us that they will sell the maps separately, after some period of time.  They're using a basic marketing tactic to push digital preorders.  That's just smart business.  But, selling the maps to everyone else is also smart business.  So, we know with near 100% certainty that they will do so.  

With all of that said, I agree with your underlying point - that Activision and Sony love the scummy exclusivity deals.  As a Destiny player on Xbone, I feel this one directly.  I actually thought about playing D2 on PS4, even though I strongly prefer the XB controller for shooters, just to avoid being victimized.  Then I realized that by capitulating, I'd just be making myself a victim in a different way, and failing to teach Sony and Activision anything.  So, I stuck with Xbone.
