Exclusive stuff. The Xbox 360 release will contain five new exclusive maps those other platforms didn't get, two new characters and will include two player splitscreen action. All that and it also sports all of the downloadable content that Epic has created for the PS3 and PC. |

This is marketing strategy at work guys. I bet Epic will in the end release the extra stuff for the PC. Or someone will simply create the new content manually from scratch. |

Heres a hint,DON'T BUY IT... No matter what they have for xbox only,it will never surpass the awesomeness of the fanbase's creations. |

Maybe the PS3 players will get a patch later on. Though it is doubtful, considering who is responsible for the Xbox 360's existence. |

Nothing to get me worried at all. XBox gets 5 new maps and 2 new chars? Us spoiled PC guys get 2 new chars and 5 new maps each month. Big whoop. Besides, how long do you think it wil bee until somebody extracts those chars/maps form the XBox for PS3 and PC? A week? A month? |

It's a general trend. There has been a lot of hype around extra content getting released on one platform before others... I think it's disgusting... All they are trying to do is promote one platform over another so it can sell more... |

well i want my damn splitscreen. Its ridiculous having a powerful gaming console and a "great game" that cant even support two or more players on the same screen at the same time. When i bought UT3 i was expecting to be playing with my friends or dad, not by myself on my new HD TV =/ |

Everyone was asking, "What about GoW on PC?" Epic refused to give any information or even a yes/no on that becasue they wanted people to focus only on the xbox 360 release. If Epic was foolish enough to admit that they were working on a PC release of GoW, then some people who would buy the xbox version might have chosen to simply wait on that and get the PC version when it comes out. This would result in a loss of sales for the xbox versoin of GoW. They also hyped the speck of additional content to boost PC sales in hopes of getting those who bought the xbox version to also buy the PC version. Same with GoW 2. Epic kept tight-lipped about that until the rush for the xbox and PC versions of Gow had died down and they wouldn't lose much sales by getting people to look forward to the future. Granted, all this comes from a little understanding of marketing and speculation, but Epic sure has heck won't give us the truth. |

You serious? I'm thinking about a lot more in fact. Besides that, i always liked creations from modding teams more. RuneStorm was able to pull a hell lot more out of the UT04 engine than the UT creators themselves. |

The PS3 isn't much more powerful than a '360, it's just built A LOT better. I'm not buying it for 360, because I think at the core of it, the unreal games are crappy. User created content is what keeps it alive and breathing. |

The PS3 is much more powerful than the Xbox 360. Especially in the CPU department, take a look at stuff like the folding project that is being done to figure out protein folding in bio-physics. The PS3 gets more work done than any other PC or console around. |

(well thats my status for it any ways) |

On BU, Hal mentioned what the 3 new maps are (coldharbor, koosBarge and Rails) and VCTF-Rails sounds like the only interesting map. Since the turrets on rails go from your base all the way to the enemy base, which i find really interesting and could provide tons of new tactics. Someone no doubt will remake all this stuff, and if it requires new material, i'm sure someone will either make it, or someone get it off the UT3 360 disc. |
