Though I really couldn't find anything I did run across another article from Forbes magazine that's called "Why Gears of War Costs $60". It really breaks down the costs and bottom line for game development. The article can be found here: http://www.forbes.com/2006/12/19/ps3...sivegames.html

I am only speculating but I am really starting to feel as though the 360 update is just an extra expense that 505 cannot justify.

It's not that much of an extra expense for 505, it was an expense for the developers. They weren't funded by 505 to make the patch.

But 505 have to pay MS to get it released. That previous article isnt relly relevant as its main focus is on EXTRA costs levied by sony (but does detail that publisheres have to pay regardless of platform. So what confuses me is why 505 would choose to release it their and not on 360 and why platform holders wont accept patches from the devs.

From what I can gather from Antons early replies, the publishers were only concerned with the PS3 Display problems and not game improvements. The devs added the improvements as well solving display issues but 505 were not entirely happy with that but submitted the PS3 patch as delivered. It seems to me that the relationship between the devs and the publishers became 'strained' regarding the game improvements. Fact is that 505 were happy with the gameplay on both consoles - hence no patch for xbox. As far as 505 are concerned ...game is fine as is!

Simple fact! We gamers are a multi million dollar consumer group with absolutely no consumer rights.

We gamers need an independent website to highlight issues that the industry chooses to ignore. Is there one?
