This isn't Microsoft screwing everyone over people over timed DLC. It's called proper business deals.

Seriously, there is no conspiracy. More people use LIVE than the PSN, this is a fact. It is more profitable to make a deal for 360 users to have the DLC earlier because it is a larger market and more "exclusive" which easily drives up sales for DLC.

Microsoft paid Bethesda for the DLC on the 360 because they are establishing a benefit of choosing XBox over the PS3. DLC exclusivity within popular games. They do the same with map packs in CoD and other games who are catching on.

---Money loop---

Revenue from GOLD LIVE members > Pay Bethesda to give exclusive > Brings more people to chose XBox 360 over PS3 > Increases chance for more subscribers to GOLD > Make more revenue from LIVE members > pay more companies for timed DLC exclusive

---Repeat---

See the extremely logical business path? Expect more and more companies to do this until the PSN beefs up it's online store, charges it's users a monthly fee for multiplayer and memberships, then makes it's systems more compatible to code for.

As for "omigawd i bet micro$oft paid beth to scew up dlc for ps3users" arguement, that is completely retarded. It would leak, guaranteed. It would be negative PR for both MS and Beth.

Logic people. Think of the best way to make the most money. Failing at programming because the competition is paying you to fail at it to not release DLC for another console is so insanely stupid, you must be clutching at whatever straws you can find to hate something.

Plain and simple: They are having programming issues. This happens. If architects built houses the way programmers built programs, the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilization.

It isn't like their programming software is going "Oh this is where the problem is and if you write this exact line of code, it will fully fix all the problems as well as NOT cause any conflicts which may arise due to you changing a single integer or missing a letter".
