The PS4 exclusive content in Destiny is now available to Xbox users.

A mini review:

Jade Rabbit - okay
Zen Meteor - sucks
Sector 618 - ok
Echo Chamber - coolest strike boss

A better review from someone who actually had and used these things.

Jade Rabbit - Great in PvP, and Great against bosses, since reloading/running out of ammo becomes a myth, and it's high-impact. Okay enough against general enemies.
Zen Meteor - Exotic perk is pretty much crap. You're better off trying to trigger it during solar burns. BUT it is a high-impact sniper with explosive rounds, which makes it fun to use in PvP and PvE.

Sector 618 - Great map, and one of the only truly unique maps (Two bridges divided by a huge death pit). It was a fun elimination/rift map. Would have been great in Trials. :(

Echo Chamber - cool enough strike boss, neat Warlock gauntlets that pair well with VoG armor.

The armors vary from WTF (Titan's Hesperos Armor) to fantastic (Titan's Jovian Guard armor, AKA Zavala's armor). Have at it folks!

(PS. I assume you can get the Camelot armors from the Iron Banner Engrams. Titan's is the best).

Icarus is a really fun map. Not a very well designed playspace, but that leads to a fun, frantic, and unpredictable experience:

And aesthetically, the map is gorgeous...

TOO LATE!

Bungie hasn't heard the end of this mess!

Some people can happily blame Activision but not me. I'm going to hurt Bungie over this and then they in turn can go hurt Activision.

These exclusives arrived too late. TOO LATE!

Way too late. :(

Question: Does Xûr still hang out in D1, and if so, does anyone think he'll sell Jade Rabbit some day?

The only person to blame is Harold Ryan.

I was a bit harsh.

I used the word "hurt" without some kind of qualifier. That almost sounds physical. I really meant something like "hurt their feelings" or "complain bitterly".

Made it to 5600 Grimoire

Too bad the 18 exotic primary and secondary engrams turned into dupes instead of a shiny new weapon. Oh well, time to wait til Xur sells them

It's a short one for a Sparrow (Velumbra). You basically just kill bosses in CoO.

Since they removed the quest for the EV-42 Nightsteed (Bluerunner's Tron Sparrow), I wonder how that one drops, if at all...

Sweet. Let me know where you get any of the armor pieces. I have a bunch of engrams in my vault, but looking online, I see the stuff described as "Sublime Engram Armor sets", so they might have put those in, which would be a bit of a bummer for my Hunter...

It's also technically available on the 360, or at least should be, but I have to reconnect the 360 to check, and that might take a moment..

Also, this is sort of stretching the definition, but this officially makes it the final Xbox 360 content Bungie is releasing.

Meaning Bungie released content for a console 10 years after they first appeared on it. Imagine telling someone back in 2007 that Bungie would have a new multiplayer map in 2017 on the 360 :)
