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.

Key word folks, most likely we'll get them in the near future. Plus it says new characters, not exclusive, the latter of which would hint toward Ariel and Alanna.

We'll be playing it in about 2 hours. Hopefully, we can dig up some more information on the new content. To the question of whether or not it will make its way to PC/PS3, it's doubtful we'll get any other answer than "it's an Xbox 360 exclusive" but we'll try.

Well I always said that the 360 would have split screen so thanks Epic for not making me look foolish on this one. Yep that is great news and combined with the exclusive content I know I am getting it. Its funny to see people act so predictable around here. Ahh well haters ... what are you gonna do? Anyway it doesn't matter what folks say this is great news for us 360 gamers ... this version is going to be the version that has the best sales no doubt about it.

You dont just play on 360 though do you?

But anyways yeah I think its alittle unfair to make that comment. The way I see it, if it wasnt for those extra features and whatnot the 360 might not be going so well. Ive had this discussion 100 times over and it always comes down to games selling the platform, so perhaps alittle credit where its due.

It'll sell better because Epic have put time into the 360 version by the looks, its just a shame they couldnt do the same for all the platforms (before release). Then again I doubt it'll be a perfect game, we'll see how the review scores do, I wonder how hard it'll be to find someone who hasnt already played it on another platform.

Thats kinda what I went for with gears of war reviews but I think there was like only 1 or 2 of those. Itd be nice to have all the platforms though, then I can take which ever side suits me best and not showing where my true loyalties lie. Im not quite that invested in my hardware :lol:

Anyway - split screen - YAY! It's a shame the PS3 version doesn't have it... and I guess it won't be introduced with a patch seeing the box says "1 player" on the back. Split-screen is a must imo...

yeah, a console game like that simply has to have a split screen mode imo. i'm still having a blast playing UC2 or halo (1) in split screen even though i pretty much suck at aiming with a controller :lol:
to me split screen is the only real advantage of consoles over pc's cause it's just so much fun to play a game against a friend who's sitting right next to you on the sofa :)

tbh split screen might just be the reason for me to get UT3 for the 360 as well - even though i own the pc version. i usually don't buy games for several platforms but this really sounds interesting :)

Uh, I bet the thing that ps3 users are going to be crying about most is the existence of splitscreen multiplayer on the xBox :D

Why does EPIC keep playing this exclusive content game. I think in general its stupid. Thought it was stupid when 360 users couldn't get what the PC had for GOW. same thing here. Thats just me.

On a more positive note another version of UT3 so maybe some things that I didn't like were fixed for 360 so I'll check it out. (rent it)

Some1 should ram a xbox up Bills reer ... without lube. And seriously MS claims that they are trying to revitalize the PC gaming market while stabbing it in the back? Clueless idiots all of them. On the upside it means more people playing the game.

It's gonna be hilarious when Epic doesn't bother porting the 'exclusive' content to PC and people will have to rip it. Those who still maintain faith in Epic will be massively pissed! :lol:
