@Zelron: "After the 30 days agreed upon on the terms of the deal have passed, Microsoft is not responsible, or has any influence, over content being available on any other media. That fault falls to Bethesda." If Microsoft has no influence over content being available on other media, then please do explain why the 360 is getting a third exclusive DLC in the form of Dragonborn when the original exclusitivity deal was for Dawnguard and Hearthfire only? Answer: Hearthfire. I remember reading an article or blog somewhere on this wiki, don't remember where now, that said Mircosoft didn't see Hearthfire as a DLC, so they complained to Bethesda (that sounds an aweful lot like influence to me, as the only way to get someone to stop complaining is to apease them in some way). So, in order to shut them up Bethesda gave them a 30 day exclusive deal for Dragonborn. I will conceed that Bethesda made a mistake there, and should have just told Microsoft that the 30 day exclusive deal for Dawnguard and Hearthfire was done. If Microsoft had just left it well enough alone, these discussions and arguments wouldn't be happening right now.

PS: Don't think for a second that I'm not unhappy with Bethesda. I am unhappy with Bethesda, but it does me no good to rage quit at them and say I'm never going to buy their stuff ever again. They make great games, but in some cases, they make poor buisness descisions. And the same goes for Microsoft as well.
