1.1 - Because...

Because PS3 owners asked him to bring it to the PS3 smart guy. On his own blog people said if he brought it to the ps3 they would buy it because they did not have a 360. Its only good business to bring your game to the biggest market you can. Basic economics, do some research.

They market things by making you pay for a service then putting adds on top of it... 'helping' small devs. out by having them pay M$ to advertise on their front dashboard. Team up With Big M$ to screw customers over - what an opportunity.
