Valve explains why Left 4 Dead's incoming 'Crash Course' DLC will cost 560 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360...
While Valve managed to offer its first portion of Left 4 Dead DLC for free on both Xbox 360 and PC, this will not be the case with its incoming 'Crash Course' content, which will be free of charge on the PC but is set to cost 560 Microsoft Points on the Xbox 360.
This, according to Valve's Chet Faliszek, was a decision that was not left down to Valve but was made by Microsoft instead. "We own our platform, Steam. Microsoft owns their platform. They wanted to make sure there's an economy of value there," he explained.
"They helped us get the first one out for free," Faliszek said of Left 4 Dead's 'Survival' DLC. "We had the one DLC out for free. And I think... they have to look and say, wow, we're kind of being unfair to everybody else if these guys can do that."
"It's not like we're [Valve is] looking at this as, 'Oh my god, we need some money, we're going to charge,' obviously, or we'd do it on the PC," he continued. "So it's just kind of the way the system works right now."
There you have it. If you're an Xbox 360 owner who wants somebody to blame for the priced 'Crash Course' DLC on Xbox Live, then blame Microsoft.

not saying saga are crap (they got used to ps2 programming faster than anyone else) so im sure they are the best at doing conversions (plus itll make them a lot of money)

the chances of left 4 dead being on ps3 can still happen (left 4 dead isnt a 360 console exclusive) all thats needed is somone to develop the games on ps3 as valve wont do it, thats all just think sony has some big announcments to make at E3 maybe they have somone to develop left 4 dead on ps3 who knows.
and sorry to any idiot that says left 4 dead will never be on ps3 (pc fanboys for years have been saying consoles would never get crysis and look whats happening "crysis 2") left 4 dead doesnt require a really powerfull computer either so maybe sega could do the conversion, at least it would be a better conversion than the orange box.
