PS3 Mirror’s Edge will get exclusive DLC

The whole ‘exclusive DLC’ thing is getting a bit silly. If the game’s multi-platform, the DLC should be too.

It is stupid. Who gives a fuck? If you’ve got a 360, you’re hardly likely to buy a PS3 for it. Senseless dick-waving.

This is what happens when you’re too cheap to moneyhat proper exclusives.

So we’ve got GTA, Fallout 3 and now Mirrors Edge. Can’t they just call a truce or something on this sort of BS tactic.

@Pat: quite. The only people who this will influence are the people who already have both machines. Nobody’s going to base their console-purchasing decision on DLC.

Exclusive DLC is bullcrap.
Sad to see EA join this stupid bandwagon.

Console exclusive games, let alone DLC are bloody stupid in this day and age where big projects fail to sell.

I know you guys seem to disagree, but when both Sony and Microsoft people are saying that console exclusives are a thing of the past, exclusive DLC is a good way to differentiate between the same game on different platforms. It’s a lot cheaper for everyone concerned.

Yeah, some of us do have both consoles, so it’ll be Fallout on the Xbox 360 and Mirror’s Edge on the PlayStation 3 for me.

Think this is a new thing? Think again – remember Silent Hill 2 getting the exclusive extras treatment on the Xbox (I know, there was a version on the PlayStation 2 too) and it happened a lot more than you might remember.

I don’t understand the grumbles, surely this is a good thing for us? Unless you don’t own a PlayStation 3 of course…

Aside from this stuff being bullshit, I’d really love to see some hard data about the install-base of multi-platform gamers. I myself am one (360 & PS3).

How many Gamers (%) are having both HD-consoles (360 & PS3) ?
Depending on these numbers, exclusive DLC could make some sense for the respective platform-holders …

Quiiick: I’d wager it’s no more than 10% of the total userbase for the PS3 / 360, probably less.
