    I think they mentioned it at E3, xbox360 will get the DLC first.  I could be wrong, and I have no link. But I -think- that's what I remembered them saying at the press conference.

    I think it was said during the Microsoft E3 press conference. They mentioned that Modern Warfare 2 will have a timed exclusive DLC map pack on the 360. And I bet you anything that Microsoft probably payed for that. And to be honest, I'm pissed, but I think I can get by with the default maps for a few more months until the timed exclusivity expired.

    In the E3 microsoft press conference it was said after the MW2 section, i can't realy remember the exact words, but the basis was that the first DLC would be availiable on the 360 first. There wasnt a mention of how long it would be on the 360 first, and i'm not entirely sure if the dlc was even defined to be map packs, it could be anything.....although probably map packs. I only remember all this because i only have a ps3 and when i heard this being announced i was like "ohhhh man!". Hope that helps.

    Yeah I agree, it sucks. I guess I could get it for the xbox instead but the DLC is not that important to me.  All my friends play it on the PS3 so I'm somewhat limited (by choice).  I'm sure the regular maps will suffice until PS3 gets it.  This type of stuff annoys me though.

    Yes, its so stupid, and to be honest, Microsoft is the only one that does this shit.

    Sony doesn't care about dick waving a timed exclusive that's also coming to Xbox later. How stupid would that be? I really want those map packs, hell I'm still pissed that haven't made more map packs for COD4 for christ's sake. I have a 360, but I plan on getting MW2 on PS3. Microsoft is only pissing off multiplatform gamers.

    I mean, PS3 owners don't care about this, 360 owners don't care either. No one's happy about this deal(except radical fanboys). It only serves as a way to piss people off that just want to play the damn thing, but don't want it on the 360.

    I wonder if any of that time difference is because of the difficulty of developing for the PS3.

    The new maps are usualy not that special anyway. I buy all my FPS games on the PC so I'll get it for free on day 1 anyway.

    @dsplayer1010: I seriously doubt it has anything to do with that.  Besides this isn't their first game on PS3 so I would assume that it's not that difficult to them anymore.  I'm sure this is money talking.

    I think its a bullshit claim. 


    I mean, if you look back at COD4, you could just as easily say all of the updates, patches, map packs etc were exclusive to 360 first. for about a week or two. 
    So who gives a shit?

    I really don't find this that big of a deal. The CoD4 map pack came out on ps3 a month later than xbox too. It probably wont be more than a month wait, because Activision would want as many sales as possible, so why would they wait for the fanbase to start moving on to other games. This is pretty stupid on MS's part though imo, like... who cares if they're timed, why waste all that money, just to have it a little bit earlier? I'm still gonna get the ps3 version, because i have more CoD friends on there, the only reason i'd get the xbox version over the ps3 version is because i'd rather have achievements over trophies, but that's just personal preference. idgaf if i have to wait a month or so for 2 map packs though.

    I think I'll hold off buying the game untill dlc is available for both platforms. just to make a statement. Activision should be making MW2 for gamers, not for console manufacturers.
