Well as I said, that changes everything. Secondly, if I had gone to a movie and it had mysteriously been missing the last 10 minutes, of course I'd want my money back. It's absurd to not include an ending (whether it'd be good or poor), as I thought the case to be, so I would certainly have no trouble doing so in this case.
Whether or not you believe it to be justified is your own concern, not mine. I hope I don't come across sounding like a jerk but I even said in my first post 'If the answer is yes to both questions'.
I have never understood why someone should have a grudge against both Microsoft or Bethesda when it comes to these content packages. Microsoft probably paid up front for this content, and that paying up front took the risk off of Bethesda. Neither company did anything wrong. Microsoft got something good for their customers. Bethesda took a guaranteed pay day rather then taking a major risk. Hello this is common sense. The only one anyone should be upset with is Sony.
You got your exclusive content from them day one. That would be that BluRay player many of you were bragging about two years ago. So go shove in a disc, and enjoy your exclusive Fallout content. Now if that exclusive content is leaving a sour taste in your mouth well then you know what to do its called a Gamespot.
Speaking of the game of the year edition. I would not hold my breath on getting this content that way. I can about guarantee you that Microsoft paid a premium for this, and when Microsoft pays for the premium there is no way they let it slide down to Sony. We have heard this alluded to enough. That Microsoft will nix a deal if the developer plans to delay deliver premium content. Microsoft does not pay for PS3 development.

This.
I never understood why Sony fans always think the folks at Microsoft are slow and don't go over a full contract. Anytime something is 360 exclusive you see these threads with loophole theories.

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Wait I thought all PS3 fanboys have uber PC to play with all the Xbox 360 exclusives that are also on PC. Why all the crying?

I guess they used a different contract for Bioshock and Tales then. Also I'd note that despite all the exclusive Oblivion content the game showed up with all major DLC on PS3. I'd reverse your arguement. If Bethesda have any smarts its timed and that way they get MS money up front and PS3 owners money later.
For the record I don't have any grude against any one company, I just personally dislike any exclusive DLC (whether it favours PS3 or 360). That's may fair opinion. I'd prefer games and any DLC to be either properly exclusive (like Gears and Killzone) or not. This half assed the game is 9/10ths multi-platform 1/10th exclusive is just dumb IMHO.
It simply denies consumers who purchased a game in good faith (because I don't believe that half the people buying Fallout or GTA or Mirrors Edge looked online nor knew about exclusive DLC) later access to content (which admitedly many probably won't even know their missing).
But I'm big on consumer rights - and I think this approach is one that should be frowned upon.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

It's a console exclusive and every console got them. If I bitched about not being able to play inFamous (I don't actually want to play it, it's just an example) then I'm sure there would be people telling me to buy the system that it's on. If a company pays for exclusivity they have every right to have it.
@Reasonable
I was not aware that Microsoft secured exclusivity for those titles that you listed. In fact I believe Tales was exclusive due to the fact it began development early or prior to the generation, and Bioshock owed its tardiness due to difficulties with the engine on the PS3. Not that I doubt Take 2 held up Microsoft for timed exclusivity. The difference here is that Microsoft actually made a big deal of this exclusivity. So that makes a very high probability that they secured a lock.
Which while people bitch it is a solid plan on their part. They do not have to pay for full exclusivity just ensure they have the better version of the product. Eventually fans of these games should start to key in on that. Definitive versions do well in other genres such as movies.
