First, Microsoft bribed Rockstar to not release GTA4's two expansion missions on PSN. That was not really that big of a deal for me, since I'm not a huge GTA nut anyway, but it was still annoying (some people have contended that the content wouldn't have been made without MS's funding, but I think that this logic is questionable). Then, they bribed Eidos to take content off of Tomb Raider Underworld's disc, and release it as exclusive content on Xbox Live. Seriously, WTF? Perhaps the greatest insult yet though, is the recent announcement of Fallout 3's DLC. It will quite literally be released on everything but the PS3! Seriously, how can anyone not see what's going on here?
Microsoft is using their financial muscle to weaken PS3's downloadable content offerings, in hopes that schmos like us buy games on Xbox 360 over PS3. I am getting sick of this! When will the madness end? I can live without GTA4's bonus missions, but in the case of Tomb Raider Underworld, Microsoft deliberately paid Eidos to take content OUT of the PS3 version, and sell it exclusively to Xbox 360 owners as DLC! And with Fallout 3, why should PS3 users be singled out to not get any DLC? This is getting absurd, it's unfair, and I really want to see this practice come to a stop. It's clearly an act of desperation on Microsoft's part if they think this is the only way to stop people from buying multiplats on PS3.

Microsoft didn't screw you over, you did that yourself. Exclusive-DLC is always announced waaaay before the game is released, so that people can buy that version of the game instead. The question is, why did you buy the PS3-version?
