PS3 Getting Timed-Exclusive Battlefield 3 DLC

Posted on Thursday, September 22 @ 07:52:04 Eastern by


Battlefield 3 developer DICE just dropped a huge bomb at the PlayStation Blog. The PS3 will be getting Battlefield 3's planned expansion DLC before the Xbox 360.

EA seems to be siding with the PS3 for Battlefield 3 in light of the relationship Activision has with Microsoft over Call of Duty's timed-exclusive maps for the Xbox 360. The timeframe isn't as long as the exclusivity period the Xbox 360 enjoys with Call of Duty DLC, which is usually around a month. For Battlefield 3, the PS3 will get "all full-blown expansion packs" a week before the Xbox 360.

This is just another shot fired in the ongoing battle between Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 (and PS3 and Xbox 360, for that matter).

To hear more of what we think about Battlefield 3 and how it's going to fare against Call of Duty, tune in to this week's episode of GameRevolution Radio, coming soon.

    Sometimes I think that it could be better for the everyone if they released free DLC, from the point of view that players who haven't bought the game yet wil say "Hey look, this game just got this thing, and they are planning to release this other thing in the future, I should buy it"
    And it could affect gamer's loyalty to the franchise.

    Good idea. I know if I was on the fence about whether or not to get a game a free DLC would push me over to buy. (Not horse armor though.)

    That policy only applies to games that are small enough not to hurt the Xbox’s market share. BF3 is a big seller and even Microsoft won’t mess around with it because of this minor transgression.
