Well, even if it is the lead platform. They’re still releasing it on the PS3 on the same day. Wonder how much this reflects the confidence of the product?

Then again, there is 360 exclusive DLC on the way.

There is no need for talk like that, you are ignoring the main argument.

Kale, my issue is not with exclusive DLC, its geared more towards the way that developers use it. If a company makes exclusive (or timed exclusive) content for one console, I can understand the business behind that , as long as they are giving us gamers something of value. I dont agree with type of DLC that was (at the time) planned exclusively for Dead Space on the PS3.

It doesnt benefit us as gamers, only the corporates.

Its quite possible that the demo will only be out for Xbox 360 because it was lead platform (if it is). If they are actually exlusively releasing the demo for only one console on purpose then they should get a right kick in the butt

All PS360 flaming aside. I think the biggest ‘line crossing’ is on its way. Tomb Raider: Underworld, multiplatform game, exclusive demo on 360. No demo planned for PS3.

Now, this brings the up the question on .. why? The game is coming out on both platforms, won’t it be in the best interest to release a demo on both?

Check back in two months, developer claims PS3 sales is crap due to crap market and not due to money grabbing habits to make a quick buck!

Didn’t hear any complaining about the Fallout 3 360 exclusive DLC that is apparently coming out. Nor was there any regarding the GTA IV 360 exclusive content that was also reported.
Hope none of your emplyoees play PS3′s they might lose their jobs.

Newsflash, the Xbox360 is getting the armor as well.
Most developers change the PS3 to lead because it’s easier to go from PS3 to Xbox360 than the other way around, not because the PS3 is “winning”.

I guess that settles it. Good find.
