Sony converted a downtown Toronto art gallery into PlayStation 3 heaven Tuesday afternoon by outfitting the space with demo stations for dozens of games slated to be released over the holiday months.

There were half a dozen demo pods running the game, but a pack of excited reporters barred me from taking a turn at the stick.

As was suspected earlier today, it is now revealed that Microsoft paid Eidos for downloadable content and demo exclusivity.

We checked in with Eidos who shed some light on the decision.
"Microsoft asked us how we could extend the fantastic Tomb Raider: Underworld gameplay experience, exclusively, for their thriving Xbox Live community and these two new downloadable chapters were the result." says Eidos, who also confirm there are no plans for additional downloadable content for PS3.
Beneath The Ashes, the first extended chapter, will be released lat... More »
