nevermind that...
I'd be happy if their latest patch for the PC version hadn't made it impossible for me (and many others) to play the single player campaign, co-op missions and online multiplayer.
EA has changed its tune and pledged to give all PlayStation 3 Battlefield 3 customers a free copy of Battlefield 1943, all to avoid embarrassing legal entanglements. The company issued a statement to say: "There have been some misunderstandings around Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield 3... to address this we are making …
I honestly wouldn't be surprised to find out that Microsoft was the one behind the removal of the extra game. By giving a free copy from their site instead of shipping it on disc, then they are within Microsoft policy!

I'm glad that I helped someone laugh.
But out of curiosity, did you read the 2 linked to articles in my post? Here is a quote if the article is too long:
"Titles for Xbox 360 must ship at least simultaneously with other video game platform, and must have at least feature and content parity on-disc with the other video game platform versions in all regions where the title is available,"
as far as I can tell, this is a new policy.
God am I old.
I remember a time when no console had an HDD.
That must have been sometime during . . . last century.
Just for the record : console will ALWAYS "gimp" games, because they are a closed platform. You can give them terabytes of HDD is you wish - a year after they come out they will be outdated and start crimping again.
Because, until a pocket computer has the processing ability to display any scene in any size with any number of particles/polygones/whatchamacallits, the better platform will always be the one that can be upgraded.
And that means the PC.
