Yeah, like i said earlier in the thread, activision and sony are doing their best to convince people there is only a sony version of this game, but when you actually look at what is exclusive here, it actually isnt a very big deal at all...

Are we certain this is "won't get the content until 1 year after release" and not just a timed exclusivity deal that lasts 1 year, like how CoD has a timed exclusivity deal that lasted 3 years? Didn't mean PS3 gamers had to wait 3 years to get content after it's initial release.

To be fair, we DID get Minecraft for over a year. This really doesn't bother me at all though since I am not interested in Destiny that much.

well.. honestly.. i don't see where the skepticism is with their pay for DLC model. Sure timed exclusivity is dumb in itself, but it's already here, and will continue to be a main staple of the gaming landscape whether we like it or not.  Nothing yet suggests that devs and publishers are planning on going beyond what's already established.  Sure, the length of time is the only thing different about exclusive content this time around, but that's no cause for concern about additional fees for DLC.  especially if they are planning to sell "passes" too, to add additional fees to unlock content in the DLC would certainly cause an uproar.. which i find no reason to believe that that's what they will/are planning to do.  As for the frustration of xbox gamers, I still believe it is the time length of the exclusivity.  even in this thread and those among bungie's and neogaf, the main themes are the length of exclusivity, the numbers of days on the beta, and the fact that  xbox owners feel Bungie, who use to make games exclusively for xbox, has given them the shaft on DLC exclusivity this gen.   

Oh okay I see now. Limitations of the PS3 held it up. Not just Bethesda wanting to shaft PS gamers. Thanks for clearing that up, Gergroy!

Oh yeah, this is gonna work...

Not that I like that sort of arrangement, I usually don't even look into these extras... but I think that the XB1 already being the smaller platform will only hurt them if the people who have it start that kind of thig... they may end up in a Wii U like situation where there is no 3rd party support, because there are too few customers buying the games anyway.

Microsoft is not even allowed to advertise this game or ship in Japan. Sony had to put out some big bucks for this.

@Bolded:  I believe that is the problem.  PS gamers are gloating about this tactic but forgetting that the next game could very well go the other way.  I only have a PS4 so its no big deal but I have to say if I only had a X1 I probably would not purchase Destiny until the game of the year addition.  It just seems like you are getting less for your money.

After the deal with Fallout 3, and then the crappy situation with Fallout: New Vegas, I have zero sympathy. I had to wait to get the first FO:NV DLC ON PC, for cat's sake, because it was exclusive to the 360 for several months.

Sony is simply playing Microsoft's hand, only they've upped the ante.

Don't worry so much guys...this practice of timed exclusivity will die as soon as the Xbox is gone. Just a few more months and we should see the end of it.
