I think Epic will hook us up with the free stuff. Unless Microsoft says no again.

This extra content better come out on 360. It should also be free because I'm sure the PC version will not cost much more.

Gears has already met the 1250 gamerscore points. There's no way they could add achivements now.

Hrm.. I have mixed feelings about this.
This just screams "one less reason to buy a 360". The 360 has NO exclusives anymore and why would I want to risk having an unreliable hardware Xbox 360 when I can just bite the bullet and buy a good video card and Vista and get the same experience as the console provides.
I just get the feeling MS is going to drop the whole console thing and just go to pure PC gaming next gen. You know when I buy a PS3 and play Lair, MGS 4 or Uncharted Drakes Fortune I know that I am getting a unique experience and I feel better spending the money. I understand there is a huge time gap between these but still that doesn't make me feel any better. I guess I just need to accept all MS first party/published games are going to the PC.. Mass Effect will be next mark my words..
The PS3 fanboys are going to have a field day with this.. The 360 does not have exclusives it only has timed releases and every indication is the PC will have the better experience. Yes, we might get this extra content but we will pay for it. If you add all the extra multiplayer maps the price is already over $70 dollars for the 360 version. I bet the PC version will be $50 and include all that plus these new maps and campaign. We will then be charged another $10 for each bringing the Xbox 360 version close to double the cost of what the PC will get. I know it's speculation but I see a very disturbing trend here. PC gaming is starting to sound appealing to me, why go through the trouble that is the 360 at the same time being raped with DLC. And I bet I can play the PC version multiplayer for free.

@razer - If it's a games for windows title, you require a gamertag and subscription to play much like shadowrun, so no, it will not be free :P
A little annoying exclusives are eventually hitting the PC, but at the same time the game is out around a year to two years later and only happens with the odd few titles. And I would hold on to that MGS comment, with all MGS games since MGS2 only being timed exclusives on consoles.

I don't really understand how the same games being available on PC even affects anything. So go ahead and buy the PC version. What's really the difference? Certainly a Vista capable PC (with enough RAM to properly run games on top of it), a great video card and Vista itself add up to more than $300.
Considering MS is likely involved with the PC version, I'd say it's a good bet they're going to force some sort of Live functionality into it to begin with.
I don't see why MS would be interested in being PC only anyway. It makes little sense. They get less in the way of licensing fees, they give up a level of control like they have on Live and a lot of games simply sell better on consoles than PCs. I don't think anything is going to change there.
DLC is unfortunately here to stay and I think people can expect it to pop up more and more often even on PCs. Some companies will obviously stay free, but Bethesda, for example, charged the same money for the same DLC on PCs.
It's not as if every single Xbox 360 exclusive game is PC only to begin with, but regardless PCs are NOT consoles and I doubt many PS3 owners are going to bother to compare them.
Something I think is worth noting is that MS's Live policy is now that if another platform has content for free, it has to be free on the 360. If it appears at all, by those standards it shouldn't cost anything.

Notice the achievement notification at 00:50? That's not the Xbox 360's style achievement notification, that is the Games for Windows LIVE achievement notification. That must mean GOW PC is GFW LIVE-enabled! Also, maybe they'll make the extra content into DLC for GOW 360.

Come now razer, the Xbox is still the ONLY CONSOLE to have GOW. I would define that as exlusive. There's no reason to waste tons money on PC upragrades in order to buy the same games a console has for a cheaper price. Don't wory about the Sony fanboys either, they have already lost several "exlusive" titles to the xbox and VF will have improved graphics and online play.

@razer - Exactly...
By the time Halo 3, Bioshock, and Alan Wake appear on P.C., hopefully, a gaming P.C. that can play them won't cost an arm and I leg.
I would also be quick to scoop up Gears of War and Mass Effect if they happen to be released on the P.C.

First off, anyone notice how sillllllky smooth that framerate was? Man, it is going to shine on the PC. The only issue I see (and a MAIN reason why I bought a 360) is a rig capable of running this is going to set you back at LEAST $1200 brand new.... compare that to $400.
Anyway, I'm a bit concerned by how much different the PC version is... even worthy of being GoW 2 because I didn't notice many locations similar to the 360.
I would like to point out though, I bet the map pack being sold on Marketplace now will be free on the PC version (like C&C 3: Tiberium Wars) and this is really starting to piss me off as a consumer (and SUPPORTER of the 360 with hard earned cash) that PC players save $10 and get MORE content.

Great comments from everyone. You all make some great points. I guess I'm a little over-protective of my 360 "exclusives". =)
However I do think Games for Windows is MS's attempt at controlling the PC gaming market more. Once the Marketplace launches on the PC side you will see the same model that is applied to the 360 on PC. MS is a software company and if I were them I would love to be able to tap the already huge install base of the PC and control it like the 360(with all the same revenue making models in place) and not have to worry or spend money on dedicated hardware. Just try Halo 2 and see how it "locks" you into connecting to Live for multiplayer.. Heck it's even got the same interface as the 360.

@16 - Well I can't argue against that. I'm kind of glad some PC companies are fighting against it some, honestly.
