The Dude	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Tomb Raider became big on the Playstation, like so many series. Bringing it to the Xbox is, how to put this mildly, understandable. But leaving the Playstationgamers out in the cold when Microsoft sways a bag of money is sickening! Developers become Microslaves. Sit and be silent when the big MS speaks. I was going to buy the game for my PS3 but after this DL desaster I´m not so sure anymore. Think I´ll pass this one. This moneyrace has to stop. MS has to stop killing of the gamesmarket, the will kill off all creativety. Thanks there´s dev´s like Insomniac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reply

Luis X	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I don't think there is anything wrong with what microsoft is doing. They aren't cheating anyone they are going out finding titles that people like and actually paying for extra content to be developed for their system. It like when nintendo had square enix make a mario role play game for them or namco make a starfox game for them. The only thing is that this is not a full game and it is to property owned by that company. This is a good way for microsoft to give the 360 an advantage over other systems. My question are: If microsoft paid them to make it. Does this mean that when we pay for the content does the money go to microsoft or the company making the Add-on? Is the money that microsoft gets from live subscriber helping them to do this? If so I say aha it really is worth being a live subscriber. Reply

Aaron	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Considering that I have been a loyal Tomb Raider fan since the beginning I have naturally had a Playstation, PS2 and now PS3...so to now not have access to the DLC is just crap!

Wazza	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Microsoft is wasting it's money. I already own a 360, but I'll still buy the PC version, because that's how I prefer to play TR - mouse and keyboard. Once I've played the full version of TR:U, I'm hardly likely to want a few extra side chapters - that's like watching deleted scenes for a really excellent movie (i.e. tempting, but ultimately hollowing).

Charlie	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I think that it is utter BULL SHIT! If your going to make a game for a specific console, then do so... don't do it AFTER it's been on others! Like Tomb Raider, Lara has been on the PS systems originally for YEARS!!! and now, XBox has a cut piece of her story? wtf?!!! I will never get an xBox, I really don't care for them... I think if they are gunna make extra content for you to get, ESPECIALLY, if it is gunna have plot points of any kind, It should hit all of the original consoles... No monopolies on GAMES.... both companies, Microsoft and Eidos disappoint me by this. Sony would do the same, despite the fact I LOVE Playstation..... b/c it is simply not fair to the gamer..... That is who's fillin your damn wallet, DON'T **** WITH THEM!!! Reply

john1992	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post playstation 3 was the most successful platform for tomb raider underworld and made up 51% of its profits, why would eidos do this to such loyal followers. This is a giant slap in the face. Reply

Lissa	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Honestly, it doesn't matter. Like even if it continues it would mean the company that made the game will be losing money from the other console anyway as their game will only sell on 1. This means okies they get paid from Microsoft, they add the content to the system. Well, they just missed out on larger number is sells w/o doing it for both. So in the long run it's the dev's lost not the console. Reply
