Sony has told MCV that the cost of producing Blu-ray SKUs is the reason behind why many of the boxed expansion packs that get released on Xbox 360 and PC only get a PSN release on PS3.
A number of games – including Dragon Age, Borderlands and Fallout 3 – have seen their post-release DLC get bundled onto disc and sold at retail on Microsoft's machines, but the exact reason behind their failure to do the same on PS3 has until now been a bit of a mystery.
NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - It is now a mainstay of gaming that post a title's release, and DLC will accompany the game. Some of the most popular games of the last fifteen years have followed this practice. But there are some DLCs that are better than others. That stands on the shoulders of their base game, and in some cases… Surpass it. These are the 10 expansions that were better than the main game.
Damn, I feel stupid when years ago I played all the dlc for fallout 3 except the pitt. My younger ass looked at it and thought it was boring without trying I believe... Well good reason to fire up the old dusty ps3!
Solid list, I'd add inFamous: Festival of Blood, although it was a standalone download, it still felt like an inFamous 2 expansion.
Blood and Wine might be the best ever though.
I'd also add in Horizon The Frozen Wilds. As I started it, I wasn't sure I had the energy, but my God that was awesome. Some of the best weapons, enemies and missions in Horizon for sure.
Blood and Wine is always the reason these "best DLC of all time" list gets made in the first place nowadays.
Don't think CDPR can come any where near with any upcoming CP2077 DLC.
I have beaten Bloodborne but though i have the DLC I never played through it. For now I want to wait and see if it gets a Bluepoint remake.

"The video game equivalent of would-you-rather. "
We all love open-world games, the sandbox genre alone has a ton of amazing titles. Today, we want to talk about the greatest open-world games ever created; the best of the best! Of course, there is a wide spectrum of what some people would consider a game 'open-world'. We're going to include games that offer an 'over-world' leading to sub-worlds, as long as they offer a variety of things to do within that space (you're opinion may differ). Open-world games come in many different styles, comparing Mario to GTA is damn near impossible, take this order with a grain of salt. Without further ado, the top 100 open-world games of all time!
I know making a list like this is incredibly difficult and time consuming and I commend your effort. I also realize that its opinion and lists are always contentious. The game for me that is a glaringly absent is Dark Souls.
Oh believe me, I thought about it! I just felt like DS didn't put much emphasis on the 'open' aspect of its world. But an argument could definitely be had!
I love Souls games!
Dark Souls, Prototype, The Saboteur, Mercenaries 2, Batman Arkham City, Sunset Overdrive, Shadow of Mordor, Mafia II, Sleeping Dogs, one of the Deadrisings, and Red Faction Guerilla should've all made the list.
ahhh now i see why certain devs do want to do ps3.blu-ray cost significantly more to produce on.and thats why more devs that were producing ps only games went to xbox.profit margin.i dont know the exact price of dvd9 and blu-ray discs but im guessing its better for devs to sell 500,000 copies on dvd9 than sell 700,000 on blu-ray.
so blu-ray is bad for devs.
sony should be begging MS to adopt blu-ray.
you get blu-ray releases that contain additional content on account of the excess space - Star Ocean, Tales of Vesperia, for example. And Oblivion GOTY shipped on 1 blu-ray as opposed to 2 DVDs, so there are situations like that, as well.
The shaft goes both ways, to PS3 and 360 gamers alike. A lot of this "we have to" release DLC reasoning is really just obfuscation for the money-grab that is going on. No one HAS to release paid DLC, it's business decision ffs.
P.S. Check out the mental illness happening in the Open Zone lol.
holds ps3 development back which is true thats why games like final fantasy 13 dosent have the towns npc huge world shops they were all taken out because of 360 couldnt handle it and then now we have quantam theory coming out and the ps3 version should have came out a while ago and now the flopbox is holding that game back so im no longer intrested in that game look at tekken 6 that game was held back to and it look awful it look like a ps2 game since they ported to the psp they might as well put it on ps2 and wii never played that game ever again no wonder developers get greedy in the end they will flop because if final fantasy 13 had stayed exclusive to ps3 13 would be in the top cvharts in japan and now it fell of the rader hopefully vs will do better numbers in japan once it comes out glads its a ps3 exclusive so there im so happy that it wont get gimped be by the gimpbox end of statement
They have the discs here in the U.S.
Then Sony should allow DVDs to be used for DLC. Its not like the PS3 can't read them, its just a choice of corporate pride.
