Wasn't this announced at E3?
EDIT: E3 2014 apparently. Although we didn't have the 30 day piece yet.

This. Where does the PC stands? I'm guessing same as the PS4, the PC doesn't get the Beta one day early either.

Same here. I have a PC, XB1, and PS4 and no idea what to get it for. I'd love to go PC, but I just can't trust that the cheating issues will be fixed or that people won't come up with new ways to cheat.

Same boat. PC will probably look the best, but, yeah, the cheating will be annoying. Ubisoft seem to have been a little bit better with PS4 version performance. XB1 will have this DLC, but, it didn't look too great when I played it on there. Gahhhh

That's not too bad. These kinds of deals don't seem quite so bad after Sony/Activision's Destiny deal.

The cheating apparently wans't as rampant as people said. If the infrastructure really is as ridiculous as fully trusting the client, then consoles aren't safe either. All you need is a PC in the network to change the output of the console.

This would be a bigger issue to me if it were cross-platform, but it's not, which makes it a little bit better.

I guess that means I am buying this on XBONE!
Pftttttttttttt who am i kidding!? Who would want it on xbone!! (other than if that's your only option)
Buying rights to have DLC first! Wonder if it will be a successful move!
Yup. Still buying on PS4. lol my poor XBONE.

Not that bad for Ubisoft, their games do well even on the smaller install base of XB1.
Jokes on them, play on a Sony Vaio /s
But no, I am pretty sure GameStop just ignores PC, so they probably mean PS4/PC.

More than likely the same being 30 days also. Given the nature of the video and the fact he works for Gamestop I would bet it's just the way he sees things given he deals mainly with consoles.

Hmm... I own PS4 and XB1 and I'm buying on XB1 (it's my primary console because my friends play it), so there you go.

These things always seem silly to me, but if it means more money for the publisher/development team then I can't get too upset.

I wouldve still bought it for the Xbox if DLC came out on PS4 first. Its an online game. Good luck playing this during all the PSN outages
It's kind of funny to see any kind of positive spin for stuff like this after some of the threads after Black Ops 3 and Destiny PS4 DLC exclusivity was announced.
Or the seemingly equally frequent XBL issues (as far as I've seen).

30 day exclusive >>>>>>>>>>>>> yearly exclusive shit like destiny
especially when it's content that helps fill the main game up with things to do.

People do care, it'll make some differences but it will also help associate the brand more with Xbox over other platforms.
I'm glad Microsoft has a big games DLC deal as they pretty much didn't bother with so many others, and gave up a few they had!

Really? I could have sworn XBL was down just as much if not more than PSN in 2015.

Well this thread didn't take long to collapse into system wars bullshit.

Well that's a bummer.
I dunno. I mean, Destiny does shitty exclusivity stuff with items and maps but actual DLC expansions have never been timed exclusive on one platform.
Kinda silly to withhold actual content which drives the player base in what will no doubt become a content-starved game.
I'm not saying Destiny handles it better, instead I think both are shitty.

I own all consoles and I want it on Xbox One.
Did you ask the opposite question in all of the Black Ops 3 threads? Why are people here pretending like they are just now hearing for the first time how marketing contracts for games usually work?

It's not really positive spin. It's just nicer than what could have happened. Acitivision/Sony keeping back content for Destiny from an already content-starved game to a large portion of the player base was really bad and didn't really backfire in the end. I'm glad Ubisoft/Microsoft didn't go this route. Also, Black Ops 3 outcry didn't seem all that loud. It was just the XB1 owners feeling slighted after being used to the other way around.
I expect minimal actual results from this. It's a fairly annoying practise whoever does it but in reality majority will go with platform choice they've already made. At this point in year this isn't going to swing many votes.
I prefer true competition via differentiation not trying to hold other guy back but 30 days? Whatever. Majority will be oblivious.

I think 2 possibly 3 months is the sweet spot.

I'm playing on PS4 but considered XBO for a while. At the end of the day, I prefer the lack of dynamic resolution on PS4 and more of the friends I want to play with are on the platform.
I'm totally ok with XBO getting timed exclusive stuff. Xbox gets far less multiplat deals this gen so far and this will be at least some incentive for people to get it on that platform. Unfortunately in my case, it's not enough to sway me.

It is not my only option but I am getting it on the Xbox because you can get the Gold edition of the game quite cheap plus my mates are also getting it on the Xbox.

No biggy to me. Getting on PS4, and 30 days is nothing.
Destiny for PS4 versus XB1 is night and day. So I'm content with waiting a month to play the same stuff.

I'll say what I do every time. I don't like it when either company pulls this crap be it Sony or Microsoft. Hell if Nintendo did this shit I'd hate it too. Just give people on both platforms the same stuff at the same time.

Basically. All my friends have PS4s and I don't know a single person with a XBone besides me. Nothing is a shittier bargain for gamers than a company paying to delay content for another group for 30 days. It's not early access for XBone owners, it's just a paid delay on PS4. Definitely one of the dumber trends in gaming to become widespread last gen.
