If it's "Exclusive DLC" I wouldn't be surprised.... and if it is it'll only be a matter of time before it hits the PS3, just like nearly everything else. The Fallout 3 DLC was "supposedly" Exclusive to M$ platforms, but look what happened months later. Star Ocean 4 was "supposedly" Exclusive but now it's headed to the PS3, Tales of Vesperia, etc...

If Microsoft was going to secure FULL Exclusivity for DLC for a game that would actually benefit them, I think Modern Warfare 2 would've been a better investment, but since they didn't (only timed exclusive), it wouldn't even be worth it for M$ to dish out tons of money for anything FFXIII related, because thus far, Microsoft securing timed exclusivity for JRPG's this gen. haven't made a difference at all.

I think it will be an exclusive trailer, a-la Lost Planet 2, that will impress as much as Forza 3's NPD performance.

That's what you got to do to make yourself feel better about your console of choice....especially if you can only afford one console, you justify it by degrading the competition.

@Action
Thanks...Glad I could solve that mystery.

they say it's a gift.
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/g...

so it's either one of these 5, Xbox avatar clothes, DLC, a FF13 bundle, some MS points, or a free XBL subscription.

whatever it is they say it's a gift.

I almost guarantee this is some type of exclusive DLC. Normally I'd be a little pissed, but I've had a 360 for a while.

If it's exclusive DLC I'm going to be f#cking pissed. SE ruins the game by going multiplatform, adding stupid songs, and if they even have the nerve to make exclusive DLC for ANY platform that'll be the final nail on the coffin.

If there is exclusive DLC for the 360 then I'll buy the game used or wait till the price drops to below $40. This exclusive DLC garbage for a multiplatform game needs to stop. Either support the game all the way or keep it on the one platform preferred. I want the game even though there have been most likely changes and compromises but exclusive DLC contracts for multiplatform games get no support from me. Devs really have pissed me off this gen. They have proven to be money hungry whores who deserve lack luster future sales.

It's not exclusive DLC. It wouldn't make any sense for SE to make exclusive DLC for this game and make it available only for the 360 version. It's just going to be something like a 360 theme or avatar accessories/clothing, stuff like that.

SE was supporting xbox for 3 years, giving nothing to Playstation Fans and even if Wada knows how bad they were doing, SE will give more support to one console instead of making equal for both, damn so SE is not understanding the situation here

come on now, do you really think they're going to add exclusive dlc for the 360 when the ps3 version will most likely destroy the 360 sales? if they do they will piss people off more and lose ps3 sales and 360 owners don't buy rpgs so they would only be hurting themselves. whatever it is it will come from MS not SE so expect something stupid like avatar clothes. also like the guy above said SE worked with MS this whole gen so far and did nothing but lose money so i doubt they want to lose anymore on the 360.

2.9 - who buys DLC any way?
i never buy, and will never buy even if it was PS3 exclusive!!

DLC means nothings, just some more of the same thing which is in the games with the price of an AAA 1 year old game.

i would rather buy an AAA game which is 1 year old than a DLC!!

but we all know that 360 owners dont get any special treatment/games except through temporary exclusive DLC.

Whatever it is, you can bet your arse that if you aren't throwing $50 MS's way every year you aren't getting it..

I'm sure whatever the surprise is will cost something monetary, it is the MS way.

Action Bastard you PS3 git! I've been enjoying the hell out of Uncharted 2 and I still haven't even started in Forza 3 yet, pretty busy with Left 4 Dead 2 demo and Modern Warfare 2. Even found some time for the GoW 3 demo.

Stop pretending everyone lives the same ghetto game style you do. I've got it all and if that's "butthurt" you troll, then you need to seriously seek some professional help for that hole in your freakin head.

You're just mad because you are called out because you troll like sh*t. Even PS3 gamers call you out.. lol

Oh yeah, I am going to enjoy Twitter and Facebook as well. Life is good, when you have it all.

Look at how far in advance the GTA4 DLC was known to the public.

December wouldn't be too early for such an announcement by any means.

Not sure what logic you're talking about, since there are existing precedents of advance DLC announcements.

Whether this gift is DLC or not though remains to be seen.

As FF in Japan is exclusive for the PS3... Though regardless wouldn't dlc be hard to integrate into a JRPG? Perhaps its avatar or dashboard stuff?

*** NVM *** Change en-US to en-CA

"Your free gift token will be send to the email listed in your Xbox LIVE account in December. Now it’s time to tweet and tell the world that Final Fantasy XIII is arriving on Xbox 360."

Is what it said when I completed it, it's gotta be either a Dashboard or Avatar Clothing.

Obviously Microsoft is just trying to hype everyone up for the game, and get it to as many people as they can because they know the game isn't going to sell that well on their system otherwise.

"Now it’s time to tweet and tell the world that Final Fantasy XIII is arriving on Xbox 360." - Nuff said

Likely a screw-over for PS3 owners and current fans of the series.

The Twitter thing's a joke as far as I'm concerned.
