I've stuck with Bungie for a while. Here's what I have to say
This is absolutely ridiculous. Say what you will about agreeing or disagreeing with Bungie's practices. The way that they are handling this whole situation? Awful. It blows my mind that the company I love so much is doing things like this.
I've just discovered that Xbox will be paying the same price for DLC as play station and be getting less content. It's one thing to pull that shit with just extra content in the game. But [i]exclusive dlc IN the dlc????[/i] I don't care who you are, playstation, xbox, whoever. You can't tell me that's not a shitty way to treat gamers.
5 or 10 years ago if you told me "Bungies gonna make a game for playstation too and they're gonna go down the same path as every game company and rip gamers off" I'd laugh at you. That's just something....so.....not Bungie-like. You'd have to be a fan of them like me to understand why it's off seeing them do this. It doesn't feel right.
And it's not just this. Advertising some sort of "beta test" and making it 8 days max? 3 to 4 days for Xbox players? I probably won't even be able to play it in that time frame. I'll be on this thing called "summer vacation" and unless it gets cut short then I'm not signing up on the 24th, that's for sure.
I'm not gonna whine or cry about it or link some meaningless begtition. I'm just saying it how it is: crappy business practices. I know everyone does it nowadays but......man. I didn't expect this from Bungie.

Until it didn't go in the favor of Xbox, I bet you didn't care at all. To everyone griping about the length of the exclusives, how soon you forget that the Xbox has had a one year DLC deal in place before and it was pretty much the same as this one. Up until GTA IV, all GTA games had been PS exclusives. With GTA IV that all changed. It went multi-plat and was the game that started all this timed exclusivity crap. The DLC for that game came out on the 360 over a year before it came out on the PS3. At least Sony didn't pull an MS and have one of their execs come out on stage and roll his sleeve up with a fake tattoo of the game just to be a giant douche nozzle. But of course none of you remember this, because you are all either 12 or don't give a shit because that went in your favor. It could be worse. All it is is a couple meaningless pieces of gear and a couple of maps. At least you don't have to wait a year for the expansions which is pretty much what the DLC for GTA IV was. All Bungie/Activision did was pull a Rockstar Games on you. Rockstar made the deal with MS about GTA IV because they knew no matter what that PS gamers would buy the game anyway. The same as Bungie/Activision knows that you Halo loving Xbox players will buy Destiny regardless of the deals in place with Sony. Why don't you all speak up with your wallets and not buy the game instead of whining and bitching and clogging up the forums with BS that is going to change nothing!!! I did with GTA IV. I never have and never will play that game and will probably never play another GTA.
