hey rabbit, you are missing one fact:
whatever m$ promised, it delivered.
maybe this will help you understand how some people feel about the announcements.

Uh, they already are making two different versions of the game, if the xbox360 will be the only "full" version, and the PS3 version a different version without that content.
Why would it be any different if they make different exclusive downloadable content for both.
The possibilities are so numerous, xb content could be more online oriented while PS3 content might be more singleplayer oriented....
They will milk the franchise, that's for sure, and MS and Sony are happy to get whatever they can.
Ooooo! Now that's a BOLD statement!!But I'm sure it's best for all to just leave this at that, ok .
Pretend this never was posted here, for the good of this thread.

BioShock was always scheduled for PC as well. So no surprise there. But people have been speculating about a PS3 version. which at least for now not in the making.

Bioshock is 360/PC exclusive! what are you talking about? those rumors about ps3 are obviously wrong
Exactly, thus it is not a 360 exclusive. Q.E.D.
If I can get a game like this on either PC or a console (regardless of which one) I'll always choose the PC version. Higher image quality, mods, mouse/keyboard, etc. Just look at Oblivion. And around here, the PC version is cheaper as well most of the time!
[edit]
Personally, I find the "360/PC exclusive" moniker a bit funny. If it's on 2 platforms, how is it exclusive? Now scoobie's proposed "console exclusive" I can live with much more easily
It's Microsoft, of course they will offer BioShock to PC.
No different than UT2007(Epic) for PS3 and PC.

It's exclusive that it's not coming to PS3?

Just think of it as another way of saying "Not on PS3 or Mac", exclusive does mean it has to be to a single platform, just that some platforms are "excluded."
Anyways, semantics aside, I would argue PC ports are largely irrelevant in the console market.
From IGN
The news conference, held at the Theater National Catalunya in Barcelona, holds approximately 400-500 people, and is packing about 95% capacity. On the front screen the Xbox Live Gamer names appear in green handwriting and fade from the front screen after a few seconds. Microsoft's Ken Lobb is here, as is Lionhead's Peter Molyneux, who revealed to us earlier in the evening that he'll present Fable 2 tomorrow afternoon.
The link, third paragraph.

Do you not understand the concept of episodic content? The game on disc will most likely be identical, if they were to build more "single player content", as you put it, it would part of the main game. The DLC is additonal single player content available after launch of the game.
I've already mentioned that PS3 DLC is possible, but it depends on the install base of PS3's online community.
"Exclusive this Spring" doesn't exactly count out port for other console platform(s) later.
Semantics, yeah, but that's how these PR speeches should be taken.
"Debut exclusively", another Microsoft PR'ism that's quickly misinterpreted as total exclusivity if not analysed more closely.
Don't forget the PES and FIFA07 "exclusive for a year" messup
Personally, if I had to put my money on it, I would not put all of it for coming to PS3 though...

Look at it from my point of view of coming from D-VHS the 40000u was a $1000 player, it was tape based there were only 250 titles AT MOST, and I didn't regret the decision AT ALL. The quality was phenomenal (yes it is/was MPEG-2), but King Kong blows all of them (D-VHS') away.
Now (or rather, tomorrow afternoon) it's getting interesting. Seems like they'll have something for us not-so mainstream gamers after all
Eh. Not really. And the teasers that were CGI shouldn't come as a surprise for a Sony fanperson like you...
Here's the re-run for you.

no mess-up there. after massive damage, some pr to save the day.
is anybody in here that is/has worked as a developer who thinks that a company will break their schedules in order to make and release something out-of-order for a not-that-massive audience?
my bet is that ps3 gets PES next time its released.
