'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' DLC Gets 30-Day Head Start

Way back when the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" Xbox 360 bundles were announced, Activision acknowledged that no PS3 equivalent was in the works, and it wasn't hard to see that the game had picked its primary platform partner. Now, 360 owners are about to see another perk -- 30-day advance access to "MW2" DLC.

"We have a 30-day timed exclusive on the Modern Warfare content packs," a spokesperson for Microsoft told Eurogamer. "So it will be available on other platforms, but you get to try and play on Xbox 360 first."

The fact that the 360 would be getting first dibs on DLC for "MW2" hasn't been a secret. The company had already revealed that they would be getting the first two map packs -- or "expansion packs," if that's now the correct marketing parlance of our time --as timed exclusives. But a month-long window is definitely news.

The exact launch day for new DLC hasn't publicly been set in stone yet, but it's expected to appear sometime this spring. So wait for the date, and if you don't see the PS3 or PC mentioned, just mark your calendar for 30 days later.

Are you a happy 360 owner who's happy to hear this news? Are you growling because you play "MW2" on the PS3 or PC?

PS3 users r getting shafted again in downloadable content it turns out that when MW2 come out in november XBOX users r getting timed exclusive MW2 maps and us loyal PS3 owners dont get the maps for a possible couple of weeks to months not sure on this exactly.

i thing sony is going to have to start standing up to micosoft and surport PS3 owners we buy a more expensive console more expensive games and we dont get anything back were as xbox users get things left right and center just like GTA4 chinatown wars and know MW2 but we never got chinatown wars DLC lets hope they dont do the same for MW2

plus people are saying that the DLC for xbox might be free and ps3 players will have to pay

cheep idiots from infinity ward always set money for the 1st place ; / I am glad that rockstargames make deal with sony for next games to be exclusive to ps3 are you happy now x boxers ??
