» Fri Jun 01, 2012 12:56 am I'm usually the first one to moan about consumerism, but this is one case where it works to ALL of our adventages.
If you had a lot of extra money to spend, were a devoted fan of Sony, and liked the type of game titles that Sony exclusively tended to produce (I'm looking at you, JRPGs), then you bought a PS3.
If you wanted to budget, didn't actually buy into the whole "MIcrosoft is ebil" BS, and liked the type of game titles that Microsoft exclusively grabbed, then you bought an XBox 360.
I bought an XBox 360. I don't like the exclusives that normally get supported by PS3, but I do tend to like the ones that come out from XBox 360. Microsoft gives me easier-to-use developer tools that don't require I be a student. Microsoft supports my business. Bill Gates, although not really "Microsoft", is actually a really kewl dude, what with that philanthropy stuff and all -- I don't see Apple lining up to donate so much as a dime to a good cause, and while Sony DOES do SOME stuff, they tend to back out in a hurry.
Sony markets to one audience. Microsoft to another. The end.
Don't whine about later DLC. It's DLC. You'll blow through it in under a day, and you know it. In fact, you KNEW that there was a possibility of not getting DLC or getting late DLC when Skyrim was announced for the PS3 because of the way Oblivion was done, and you still bought the PS3 version. So maybe stop being a wailing really devoted fan because one company paid more than another for exclusive rights to an early release of some discount software, and think about how you could have made a different purchase if getting DLC on the first day really meant something to you.
