Just came across this article stating that Microsoft is no longer charging publishers for game updates on XBOX 360 post release.

Does the same rule also hold true for updates to PS3 titles?

Based on a couple of articles it looks like both MS and Sony charge $40,000 for a patch. Another one says that Sony charges $.16 (16 cents) per GB of patch download. Here are a few links...

Wait, it Costs $40,000 to PATCH a Console Game?

I guess they used to do that earlier. The article I linked to is significantly more recent (April 13) than the ones you posted, so I believe things might have changed now.

It's been a pain that we've been charged for patches/updates in the past but the major cost is still the development/QA side of things. The TRC/TCR standards of Sony and Microsoft are very strict and require a lot of compliance work.

I have never developed a Console patch that cost me less than $300,000 to make. Given that you effectively receive 50% of the online retail price from DLC after taxes (platform margins, VAT, GST, etc.) it's a lot of units to break even... you get $0 for patches, indeed they cost you money every time they are downloaded.

I guess technically the players are drug effected but do not use drugs in the game itself...
