That’s ridiculous. If its on more than one platform it isn’t exclusive. Try looking the word up in a dictionary. As for ‘timed exclusive’? Its simply an earlier release. If the 360 version of a game is released a week before the PS3 version you muppet’s must think that somehow makes it a 360 exclusive It makes no difference at all whether its due to be released a day after or a year after. If its due to be released on another platform IT ISNT EXCLUSIVE.

Exclusive = A game available on ONE platform meaning you have to purchase that specific platform if you wish to play it.

Lets take a look at a few examples of exclsuives and see who’s definition of exclsuive is the more accurate;

Uncharted. This was advertised by Sony as a PS3 exclusive and I agree with that. Why? Because it hasnt been released on another platform nor are there any plans to do so.

Lost Planet. This was advertised by Microsoft as a 360 exclsuive but I disagree with that. Why? Because it was also released on the PC and then the PS3.

You see one definition of exclsuive is accurate and the other is misleading bollocks.

Actully, it is a timed exclusive on the consoles. PC doesn’t really count. It counts, but not really.

Quote: Its not a PS3 timed exclusive because its out on the PC also. You cant have an exclusive (timed or not) that’s on more than one platform.

“the PlayStation 3 timed exclusive”

Its not a PS3 timed exclusive because its out on the PC also. You cant have an exclusive (timed or not) that’s on more than one platform.
