Totally agreed. This, and Xbox users seem to forget the exclusivity of Halo, CoD DLC, and many more that have come their way (of which I enjoyed when I owned an X360). This DLC is partially timed exclusive, meaning you get most of the DLC, but the rest will come later. If you don't want to wait for the rest, then don't buy the DLC and wait til the exclusive deal drops, THEN buy it. The only thing I'm remotely upset about is the lack of other planets to play on. These could be added in future DLC, or possibly in Destiny 2. When some of your staff leave mid-development, it's not easy to keep all your shit together like Bungie has. I'm just hoping that Activision isn't out to stretch out the series and turn it into a milk-machine, but I don't think Bungie will let them do that. In a year I hope to be proven right.

  • Console exclusives are an entire different matter first off. Secondly a month =/= a year. Thirdly if I have to wait a year just to play ONE DLC then I might as well stop playing altogether.

  • You don't have to wait a year to play the DLC, just for the single Strike mission. The raid, new weapons, armor, level cap, bounty increase, story missions, etc. are all playable same day as PS4.

  • "If you don't want to wait for the rest, then don't buy the DLC and wait til the exclusive deal drops, THEN buy it. " I was just pointing out that this isn't really the option, so the option is either buy it or buy it.

  • Or the third option is don't buy it? I guess I'm confused as to what your point is.

  • Your options were either accept that you're getting less content than the other guys for the same money or wait a year to get the DLC, I'm saying both of those are pretty crap options. Outside of that it's accept getting screwed or don't buy it.

  • It's Activision doing the "screwing" and you could say the same for CoD map packs. It's not as if you can't buy the DLC at all for a year (or even a month), you still can buy the vast majority of it same day as PS4. The only thing you're missing out on is the Strike. I can understand people being upset about it, but not raging about it.

  • That's somewhat true, but at the same time these are the conditions Bungie agreed to after all. It's not like they literally had no say in the matter, it's not so much though that we're missing out on *A* strike, it's that they're getting literally 33% more strikes then we are in a game with so few strikes that I thought the playlists were confined to a single strike because I got it three times in a row the first few times going into it.

  • The problem about the dlc for Xbox being timed is that it's supposedly set to come to Xbox in fall 2015...

  • And while that is quite the wait for timed exclusivity, there are still new story missions and plenty of other updates from now until then. Xbox owners are still getting the DLC, just not all of it at once. As far as I can tell the only mission missing from the expansion for Xbox owners is one of the Strikes. I'd say that's less than 15% of the total content (including weapons/armor, PvP maps, and other PvE content).
