This makes me angry. I was going to get it on PS3. Now I feel I'll be missing out. It seems wrong to play tomb raider on 360.

I'm angry too but not at the fact that 360 is getting exclusive content. It's the fact that you have to buy it. PC always get these contents for free and shouldn't these extra be included in the final game. It feels like companies are giving us half finish games and expect us to buy the rest later on.

add ons on multi-plats personally are pointless, everyones played the main story, exclusive games gives you bragging status.

guarantee parents buying the arcade dont know its not a full 360 its like buying a cell phone but then realise they can only text while others who pay full price can make voice calls

just invest in new games...simple

Well, at the very least, make it free. Look at the CoD4 maps, extra yes. Free on pc, yes. Pay on consoles? why?

now this is just dumb, is ms plan gonna be paying for exlusive content since they know they cannot go head to head with ps3 exlusive games coming out.ms is really f***ing up this gen!!!! and to think that the devs agree to this s**t,im so pissed of even tho i dont plan to by this game. at the end of the day exlusives will be were its all at and im sure sony will deliver more exlusive games to make ps3 owners forget about exlusive content on a game that is multi plat.

I would rather invest in http://www.gamespot.com/ps3... then some extra tomb raider content.

I might still go for this one on 360 though and I look forward to that demo this month. The extra content is tempting... I think this exclusive content buying is ridiculous but anything goes.

that this is a smart move! is there a need to treat TR the same as bigger franchises like GTAIV and Fallout3? when was the last time anybody played a 'good' TR game? the Anniversary, right? and that is the remake version of the 1st one if I'm not mistaken! this is like throwing gold into a well and hoping for a big boob fairy come out of the well giving more golds! it's like something not too smart to do! what if the game turn out to be just average? will people give a rat about the DLC that only-god-knows-will-come-out-w hen? that's just my opinion. I guess M$ has too much money and they really like to spend for things like this so, I'm not going to complaint!

p/s: dude rider was a big LOL! (^0^)

As long as I still get the full game experience of paying $59.99. That is the problem with DLC. DLC should compliment and extend the core game. As long as the core is not being nickle and dimed ... I have no problem.

5 - Wow...
Microsoft is just giving money to EVERYONE this last 24 months. Finally turning a game division profit has really prompted them to start dropping price and buying up exclusive content.

Funny thing is..When I compare what the 360 and PS3 have going forward, the Playstation line murders the 360's. I would rather have awesome exclusive GAMES than some half-assed, usually late, pay-for DLC that's exclusive for my system.

It's too bad this DLC thing has come to this, it was nice when developers used to include thier whole game on delivery media with the possibility of an exclusive character unlock or cheat. This DLC pissing match the Microsoft is trying to put on is retarded.

does anyone see a trend?

first off, it was exclusive DLC content for GTA4(360)

Second Fallout 3(360), third tomb raider underworld(360).. hmmm

so far the only thing on sony's side was Mirror's edge(ps3) Exclusive DLC.

*sigh*

im glad i own both consoles ... ok but seriously this needs to stop its unfair to those who own one console !

You know, I would understand if there would be major costs involved in supporting one or the other platform. But what's wrong with the studios, that they tell you straight into your face, that they don't want your money any more? WTH.

Actually i think that the PS3 and 360 are both getting seperate EXCLUSIVE content for Mirrors Edge...so in a way MS is still getting content on multi-plat games that the PS3 isn't...

Also to the other guys on here i didn't recall reading in the article about MS paying for it - i was reading fast as i am at work and may have over looked it...can ya show me where it stated that MS paid for the extra content for the game?

I see one, but it isn't what you all see. Sony has used this tactic before and you'd have to be blind and clueless not to remember the PS2 days. They would pay extra content just to get sales. Microsoft is just using what worked for Sony, and Sony finally has returned buying Playstation content. Man, some people are very blind these days.

I don't remember what your talking about. Can you tell me waht DLC sony offered on ps2? since the HDD didn't come out until like 1/2 thru its life cycle.

Im not disagreeing with you because I dont care enough but I just cant remember. What DLC did ps2 have and xbox didn't there wasn't a whole crap ton of multiplat games like there is now.

Again I only care to know what it is not anything else.

I just feel like maybe I missed something. Was it on any good games?

9 - Sony needs to wake up
Expansions of GTA IV and Fallout 3 exclusively on XBOX 360. I mean this helps set the tone that the 360 is the console to get and that XBOX Live is way better.

Just simple things like this keep PS3 an afterthought to so many hardcore gamers.

And it's nothing more than just attitude. Like 2 kids sitting in class and the teacher asks which one of you wants to go on a field trip. And 1 kid is like ME ME ME ME ME!! and the other kid is just sitting there wishing he would go.

It's very frustrating that Sony is so uncompetitive. They just have never faced a rival like Microsoft.

People wonder why I criticize Sony and PS3. They are just getting it handed to them and not fighting back.

I think Sony is more awake then you give them credit for ... here are the concerns and how they addressed it!

- Hard to Develop for -> Kaz made it a focus to provide Dev with better tools. EDGE tool set, etc ...

- No games -> Heavy focus on first party content. You'll see that in the games you play this Fall and into 09

The next issue is price. They will get it down to $299.99 but not on your timeframe.

sony is doing things in a different way,in other words instead of them paying for extra content they will use that money to finish up exlusive games and invest in brand new exlusive games. i dont want to write a list of exlusive games sony has coming out from this year to the end of next year bcuz i cannot be bothered but if i wrote the list it will be at least 10-15 games, god of war 3 beign one of them.i will rather have exlusive games than exlusive content on a game that is multi plat.

The only thing where Sony (or the PS3) is not competitive is its price. Its not its value, though. But other then that, I think it is very competitive.

I just don't understand the reasoning why Studios decide not to release DLC for one machine. Even if MS would pay them off. Do they really make so much more thru the payout then say selling twice as much on two platforms ? I understand why a title is exclusive (but even that is mostly done thru 1st parties), because it includes development costs on each platform. But DLC ? Its art. Done once costs no extra cent on the other platform as soon as you have the game infrastructure up and running (means original game). I really feel like treated like a second class gamer. OK, if that's what it is, I won't buy those games any more.

Well, yeah, I know it would just signal to the studios, some games won't sell on the PS3. I don't really care. They might wonder, why PS3 exclusives are all on top of the list, then.

w/e. Eidos go f. urself. *pissed*

Wow. You are an xbot to your core. What you are saying is so full of ignorance I just can't stand it.

Hurray for you! The 360 has exclusive DLC for multiplatform games when they should be using that mone to MAKE exclusive games. Do you honestly think people will buy Tomb Raider DLC? I'd rather be playing the exclusive PS3 games coming out, rather than multiplatform games on the 360. People buy certain consoles for the games they offer. After Gears what other exclusives are you looking forward to? That's the problem with Microsoft. They need to make games, not buy parts of them.

And nice metaphor too. Were you comparing Microsoft to an annoying, spoiled child? If that's the case then I tend to agree.

I have never played a Tomb Raider game so I'm not sure if I'll buy this game as of right now. If it gets good reviews, I'll get it for the PS3.
