No Xbox 360 Battlefield Bad Company for Legal Reasons

Well, "legal stuff" to be exact.

No Xbox 360 Battlefield Bad Company for Legal Reasons
So, why did the PS3 get a "Modern Warfare-beating" Battlefield Bad Company 2 demo and the Xbox 360 didn't?

According to DICE producer Gordon Van Dyke, who would have done a demo for all available platforms, "It's just logistics. If we could have done a beta on all of them we would have. We can't go into all the details, because some of it has to do with legal stuff, but it was really just logistics."

He continued, "There was no, we want to do it on the PS3 and then go to Sony and then they grease us for doing it. No. It was like, we need to do this, we need to do it in these time frames, and we were open to all options. Unfortunately it didn't work out for Xbox 360, but it was nobody's fault and it wasn't a predetermined decision. It wasn't a personal thing, absolutely not. We would have given it to everyone if we could have, but it just didn't work out that way."
