I wouldn't say that Sony are bad for blackmailing devs to make their version better, I look at it as Sony looking out for consumers. For someone like me, that has only a PS3 (for the moment), and wanting to buy a game like ToV, it sucks that I have to pay full price on a year old port, so the new additions makes the pill easier to swallow.

The question isn't why they should pay for the game. It is a question as to why they get perks and extra content that essentially 360 owners should be getting as well (Since it was funded by Microsoft and they admitted it). Things in Japan work differently, where business stays loyal whether fair or unfair to the world. First of all, TOV shouldn't be sold at full price, but Sony would rather not get the game if that wasn't so. As I said, Sony is the gateway for HD titles to the Japanese audience. If the tables were turned Microsoft would never get this treatment.

@outlawauron

lol. I just realized Magna is being published by Namco in the US.

Yeap It's going to PS3 confirmed :P

Exactly. This thread is pretty funny.

@ STAGE

Sony gets these perks because they did not get the game at the same time as the 360 did. That's why. 

Namco always knew it would outsell the 360 version, but they need Japan and Sony wont let them sell it to Japan if they dont get what they want.

Really, who cares if Sony pays anything? As a gamer who was waiting, all you would see is a reason as to why the wait was worth it.

Namco also had to do this. Did they expect a game to sell gangbusters as a carbon copy of a year old version of the game?

Enough blaming everything on Sony, cry at MS for not demanding more for their money.

The new stipulation is you can't add anything extra if it goes PS3, and has to run at half the frames per second!

Did MS fans cry when UT3 on 360 came with extras?

I believe it.

But doesn't the PS3 version still have better overall features? It was because MS didn't want mods/map creators on the 360 or something along those lines.
