I can totally understand why some xbox players are mad at bungie. Selling the DLC on both platforms for the same price when the DLC on one platform gets more content is disgraceful. Xbox gamers will be paying more for less. It's just not right. charging the same price on both consoles for DLC and then giving the ps4 more content is robbery. I think I may have skip the DLC for xbox now unless they lower the price for the xbox version. Thankfully Halo will be coming out soon so will probably be better off playing that

  • They won't lower the price. The extra strike is a console exclusive, aka "bonus"/"early access" and the price does not account for the extra exclusive. You are better off just waiting up to buy the DLC, then.

You are one of the few who see the difference between console exclusivity and content exclusivity... The latter is not right if the product is the same, which is the case for Destiny. Write to Activision. Tell them that this is unacceptable: Activision Publishing, Inc. 3100 Ocean Park Boulevard Santa Monica, California 90405 I mailed a letter to them yesterday (http://imgur.com/ONQeoMz)

  • Not at all. But they will if more gamers begin to take notice of there practices and vote with their dollar; particularly xbox customers. Activision has a forecast for the number of DLC units sold as a result of their advertising. If it falls short because people start spreading the word about their unethical practices, then there is less of a chance that content exclusivity as a pricing tactic will be used in the future.

  • Yep this could become a regular thing for DLC on one platform getting more content. It's bad anough that one console gets more content than the other in the base game but you can accept that as just an annoyance especially as the content is timed. But DLC is totally different. It shouldn't be allowed. I would say the same thing if DLC in the xbox version of another game had extra content for the same price as well. Imagine if that happened in Advanced Warfare where the xbox version of DLC got extra maps or guns for the same price there would be uproar in the playstation community and quite rightly so.
