(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Yeah... Seriously :( I like playing new maps the first day they come out. I like being one of the first to find glitches or tricks. But I can't really do that with DLC maps... Because I have PS3 lol.

Shouldn't activision just release DLC for every console at the same time?

Ok i own a PS3, but do remeber Xbox people have to pay to play online, so im pretty sure microsoft have a few million dollars lying around from that, and microsoft will want to make sure their users get the content first because they paid, so thats how it works basically, im sure if it was cumpolsury to pay for PSN, then sony would probably get a contract with activison or another game developer to get the DLC/Game early.

No because lets be honest here, Sony have some of the worst people every working in their marketing team. The last good thing they had was Kevin butler and that wasn't even Sony's idea but another marketing firm.

Microsoft paid Activision off for a contract guaranteeing them DLC for all cod games until 2013 (Not 100% sure on the year) first. Ps3 users should then get them one month after.

The worse part is the people that have both systems. Liek a ps3 guy that happens to have a xbox.

He can get the DLC on the Xbox for a while then when it comes to PS3, he can game there knowing all the good spots.

It's the golden rule: He has the gold rules. I love a company that is willing to throw around it's weight to get what it wants. Capitalism at its best.

Yea true, but actually thinking about it, Sony are probably more interested in spending millions on new technology (3D TV without glasses) than getting DLC before the xbox ahah

Microsoft is a software company while Sony is a hardware company. It's natural for Sony to have a console with good hardware and it's natural for Microsoft to focus on a good online service. It's just a shame that Sony won't concentrate much on the software side.
