No, it's just that Microsoft pays activision a lot of money for them to get the maps earlier.
Its a marketing technique.
Thank you. So suck it up, and shut up. Sony refuses to pay for the exclusivity contract, so it will NEVER EVER change. Microsoft LOVES to pay for it, and they keep doing so.
WHY do you think that Elite was going to null the contract that is STILL IN EFFECT through 2012? Exactly. In 2012 when it expires, MS is planning to buy it again, just like they did 3 years ago. So you want maps early, get Xbox. If not, then quit bitching.
Also Elite is STILL BROKEN for BOTH systems, so stop your bitching about that too.
Damn that's all that's here anymore. People bitching, 'Xbox gets maps first, that's BS, Ps3 is soo much better' NO that particular comment, and any different variation of the comment is ****ing bullshit. Stop your little 12 year old bitching. It's called Marketing. MS knows how to do it, and they exploit the shit out of it, and for that I applaud them. I can't wait for them to buy the contract again.
Its one of those incentives that they keep buying for their loyal customers that continue to pay for their service. This is where that comment "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR" comes in to play.
Before any of you say shit, I DO own both consoles, and have gamed on them both. I just prefer games like COD and BF on the 360. As for my [s]dust collector[/s] PS3, I ONLY use it for Blu-Rays, DVD's and FIRST PARTY titles. Sony has it locked down for Single Player. Xbox can't tough that, but as for CROSS PLAT-FORM (PS3 and 360 games, like MW2, BO, MW3, etc.) Xbox has the MP locked down tight. No hacks, glitchers get banned, early maps, etc. So don't bitch because you can't mow a few lawns or some shit to pay a fair price for a years worth of service.
