Yeah but PS3 owners had to wait a year to play the game while PC and 360 users got to play game. I mean sure it has some added on cool stuff, but nothing that dramatically adds or takes away from the original game.
ok so you say that, but when Xbox gets Exclusive dlc to fallout and the comming up tomb raider game, you guys go all nuts over it and make a big deal about it. Then u say "oh but the extra content for bioshock isn't gunna be that awesome". I'm just getting sick of these kinds of arguements. I bet if I said ps3 gets FF versus XIII, you'd say the same damn thing.
Bioshock was never meant to be a 360 exclusive forever. When Microsoft signed the deal with 2k they bought a 6 month timed exclusive but just didn't tell anyone about this. Then it was up to 2k to decide if they wanted to port it to the PS3 or not.
Really? How many other games have microsoft bought this secret temp exclusiveness for then? For all we know it could be for anything.
Yes but the thing with Fallout 3 and Tomb Raider is that the 360 owners are getting it on the same day the PS3 oweners are getting it, there's a difference. I was saying that I would rather get the actual game on release day than have to wait a year and have some extra DLC thrown in there, which is what PS3 owners had to do. I'm saying DLC isn't that big of a deal because it takes nothing away from the actual core game that was great. It is a nice perk but it only adds on some cool things, at least in Bioshock's case. My argument is legitimate, you're mistaken.
2K came out and explained that themselves. Now Microsoft comes flat out and says if things are timed exclusive for the most part ex: The Last Remnant, Rock Band 2, etc. But you're right on the fact that you can never really tell if something will stay exclusive because 3rd party companies have taken exclusives and made them multiplat a lot this generation. Just look at the PS3. They lost Devil May Cry 4, Resident Evil, Grand Theft Auto, Tekken 6, Final Fantasy, etc. Usually these games would either not have been released on the 360 at all or if they did come they would come out much later and be half assed.
