Will these chapters ever be an xbox live update? Or is it PC exclusive?

I really want it on 360, but they never mentioned it at the conference.

I was wondering this as well. There's no reason why this can't be an expansion that you purchase and download from Xbox Live. I'm not holding my breath for this to happen in the near future. They'll want to give gamers some incentive to go with the Windows version before expanding the 360 version. Like a timed exclusive. Perhaps sometime in the middle of 2008 after the PC version has been around for a while. I'm going to make a prediction and say that sometime next summer they'll release Gears of War Black, a new SKU with the new levels included, in conjunction with an expansion that you can download online.

Nah it will almost defineatly (sp?) come to the 360 through XBL, i dont think Epic would not let the 360 owners not play the extra content, because we bought it on the 360, if that made any sense :p.

Oh yea Epic is really getting back at Microsoft byputting this game on the PC. I mean that has to be the best way to get back at someone...... put it on something else the more or less own (people must own Windows XP or Vista which microsoft owns which means money to Microsoft). Damn i wish i thought of doing that myself....... such a good plan to get back at someone.. help them making money.... good idea.....

well it does cause chaos. go to system wars. its not an exclusive to 360 anymore so that hurts. and console exclusive is not an existing word on system wars. but it will be eventually.

I can see this coming to the 360 version in time. Cliffy B has NEVER done ANYTHING to disappoint his fans in anyway by screwing them over. I think this is a way for MS to promote the new MS live. I wouldn't worry about it to much.

Second with the additions of new came play styles (Hopefully a CTF mode) I can totally see Cliffy B giving this to the 360 users. ALSO. I heard rumors of this being cross platforming aswell.

It's not a big deal that Gears isn't a 360 exclusive. It's still an MS exclusive. XP and Vista. You won't see this running on a Mac. Cliff is just being a good company man.

too early to tell. My best guess is that they will probably put up a chapter for free and charge for the rest to satisfy fans and microsoft. Or they will make it initially available for purchase and then later for free. Hopefully it will be available on the 360 though.

It is a safe bet that all the new content for the Pc will be available for the 360 as well. I seen on G$ that epic is building in cross platform co-op and multiplayer for the pc version and will have a patch for the 360 version soon afterward. Not sure about a level editor for the 360 though. I'd like to see a 3-way play setup for UT3 between the Pc, PS3 and 360. It can be done it is just a matter of will they.

Oh i don't deny the fact that is sucks for us, but the fact is they arn't really get back at Microsoft by doing this. In a way that are and arn't, but it is more the arn't. They are almost getting back at us for paying for the content because if we didn't pay for the content than Microsoft would of had to rethink their plan on pricing.

It's coming to 360, why would MS show gears of war for PC, when the show was mostly about 360 and that there is gonna be cross-platform play between Windows live and 360. So why would the PC version have exclusive content when the game was STARTED on 360. Wouldn't make any sense for it to be just PC only, so don't get it into your heads people, there will be info on it coming to marketplace in the coming months. NO WORRIES

Great logic! Really good. First you think that Epic would screw over fans because Microsoft forced them to charge for downloadable content. Riiight. Think about that one for a minute.

Then they are going to hurt Microsoft by releasing the biggest game Microsoft has had this generation for Games for Live. Which is run by.... Microsoft.

That is a complete contradiction of itself.

First, Epic wanted the content to be free for it's fans, so why would they want to screw us over because we got screwed over by having to pay for it?

If it is PC only content, it will not be because of Epic getting back at Microsoft.

Epic wants people to get this game on the PC and that is why the new content is exclusive to it.

Maybe not...did you ever consider MS could be setting up GEoW for a Windows Live platform?? Wouldn't that be a big boast to cross-platforming between PC & 360 players?? I see it getting set-up like Shadow Run...MS already confirmed that most Window games that are coming will offer 360 controller support...this will soo be cool if MS makes this a cross-platform game.

I watched it live on G4, and the second Cliffy B made the announcement that PC people will be able to fight that huge thing with the cannon on its back... I just about... I was angry, let's put it that way.. I mean they were there for 360, like Gears held up this console for a long time and still kinda is... and now this happens and if I wanna play all the interesting content they are adding, I not only have to get a NEW copy of the game... I HAVE TO UPDATE MY COMPUTER >:(

Money money money! They'll be rolling in it over at Epic -_-'
