Starting next month, Brutal Legend will be getting DLC on both platforms, on the XBOX 360 it'll cost you 400 point; on the Playstation 3... Free.
Odd, yes. But it isn't the first time Downloadable Content was available on a different platform for free but costed money on the 360. Earlier this month Left 4 Dead dropped new DLC: Free on PC, $$ for 360. Is this Microsoft's doing or EA's and Valve's? Either way, this is not looking good on Microsoft's part.
""The "Six Degrees of Schafer" Achievement/Trophy is rewarded when you play with or against Tim Schafer in Brutal Legend's epic multiplayer mode. The achievement is also viral, meaning that once you play Tim (or someone who has played Tim), you then have the achievement, and then when you play someone else, they get it, and then when that person plays someone else, they get it, etc etc, rinse, repeat…. Think of it like the flu, a heavy metal flu if you will… "

Brutal Legend is lucky enough to have voice acting by two big name stars: Jack Black and Ozzy Osbourne. The two have been able to create funny and interesting dialogue for the game. Schafer reveals that Black would, “read a line over and over to get the feel” then he would begin, “goofing off”, which is what the team "ended up using”. Schafer then went on to say that Ozzy Osbourne, “swore more than was scripted”. Look out for Brutal Legend hitting stores this Rocktober.

The way it should be.
Brutal Legend main controversy stems from Activision's acquistion of Vivendi Games. Brutal Legend didn't make the merger cut so to speak.
First Activision sues Double Fine, saying they had no right to seek a new publisher. Now Double Fine is returning fire. Countersuing Activision claiming they only seek to kill the game.
"So much attention was paid to the publisher drama surrounding Brutal Legend - it was dropped by Activision and then floated around for a bit before finally being picked up by EA last month - that details about the game itself were lost in the shuffle. The heavy metal action game, for example, has multiplayer. News to us."
"Electronic Arts Inc. and Double Fine Productions, Inc. today announced that they have signed an exclusive publishing agreement that will bring the highly-anticipated rock-adventure Brütal Legend to gamers, headbangers, roadies and rockers worldwide..."
