Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty Ghosts DLC first on Xbox One

http://www.videogamer.com/xboxone/battlefield_4/news/battlefield_4_dlc_available_first_on_xbox_one.html

Like it or not, if you want the content first (and Battlefield 4 is highly rated as the best launch title accross both consoles) go Xbox One. 

Nice move Microsoft

So stupid that anyone gets timed DLC.  Either way, PC is where it's at for BF.

So let me get this straight.

Best version of CoD.

Best version of Battlefield 4.

AND TITANFALL TOO?

Damn :cool:

Pay $100 more for a spy cam and weaker hardware or wait a extra week for map packs. Hmm decisions decisions...

I never approved of this business practice.

I understand why microsoft does it, they buy the timed exclusive dlc rights to garner more attention. Its just business. Microsoft does it because they want their console to sell more than anyother.

But developers and publishers sell games to all gamers, not just gamers of one specific console. I dislike them doing this practice because all they are doing is punishing their customers who dont own a specific system. "Hey gang new map packs are out! Congrats to all the people who own this one paticular system, the other guys youll have to wait awhile then we will let you buy our products from us then". They should be wanting to please all of their paying customers as best they can and as equally as they can instead of favoring 1/3 of their customers for some quick cash. Bottom line is if if someone buys BF4 on the pc, ps4, or xbox one then they still bought a EA game and supported them financially, kind of a dick move for EA to make anyone not playing on a specific system to sit and wait despite the fact they were a paying customer of theirs.

When I see developers and publisher do things like this all I see is them telling consumers "Hey please buy our games, but sorry 1/3 of you arent as important to us really because we like having exclusive rights money more than treating all of our customers fairly"

You guys are excited for DLC... Wow...

I feel really bad for someone who will buy a weaker hardware to get dlc's first in two gamessilversix_

Both games look like gash anyway so, who cares? For the price of that DLC you can pcik up Red Orchestra 2: Rising Storm on the pc. Superrior title designed for pc men.

dont think ppl will spend an extra 100 schmackos for 1 week early dlc.campzor

it will be like this for the whole console generation.

[QUOTE="Heil68"][QUOTE="speedfreak48t5p"] It's a tough choice, but I think I'll wait an extra week for map packs. :)tdkmillsy

DLC, preoder ttat and so on, will go away if you vote with your wallet. Sadly, none of you actually do that. It's all hot air. Vast majority of people buy whatever hyped pap is put out. Call Of Duty woof? Looks terrible doesn't it? Looking forward to those 20 million sales, right?

Haven't we known this about BF4 already? I remember hearing X1 got content first

Guess it's the old switcharoo from Sony getting it. No biggie, it's usually a short time

Don't you have an X1 pre-oredered too?

As I said, I know why microsoft does it, its business. I made no qualms about it. What I had an issue with is the publishers and developers that are willing to show a large portion of their customer base disregard for some quick cash.

Microsoft doing it is trying to cater to their customer base which are xbox owners, it makes sense. But for publishers/developers to do it means they are only catering to a portion of their paying customers since they have customers buying their products across multiple systems. Playing favorites among your paying customers isnt a good practice.

If you love buying overpriced rip off DLC then get an xbox one.

WOOOHHHH!!!!

I'm going to base my purchasing decisions on the fact that MS paid money to get DLC (1 month) in advance. No really... I am. Don't believe me? You shouldn't, only a moron would use something so trivial to suggest they should buy one system over another.

Make that a month... and add a cuple of months to get rid of the input lag and VOIP problems like BF3... and you get inferior online service, lol, and the inferior multiplat as always... cows must be the most forgiving userbase ever. already forgotten all the crap they got from PSN. But yeah, it is cheaper... for a reason.

moistsandwich

I seriously wonder if that work? Will somone change system just to get content first? Anyways I don't even care about DLC to begin with nor do i plan to buy those two games or a next gen console at launch

Gross.

Im definitely getting an Xbone now so I can get DLC first!!!!II_Seraphim_II

[QUOTE="Heil68"][QUOTE="tdkmillsy"] It will be 1 month at least and that's important to those that are really into the game. I don't agree with DLC myself but it isn't going away and Microsoft are better at securing it. Once multiplats look the same on both consoles (as they always have) this will be a factor in which console they buy the game on.seanmcloughlin

Don't you have an X1 pre-oredered too? 

Nope.Heil68

I thought someone other than Clyde had a PS4 and X1 pre-ordered. Could have sworn it was you

lems hyping dls? :lol: how the mighty has fallen...

[QUOTE="speedfreak48t5p"][QUOTE="Heil68"] Me too...Heil68

What can I say? You showed me the error of my ways and the path to greatness with Sony's legendary leader and world-class, barn bursting, award winning exclusives including one of the five greatest games of all time, The Last of Us. :cool:
