Have they even come out and said the PS players will START with this equipment? That would be the only way that this could possibly "cheapen the experience". I thought the (timed) exclusive weapons and armor were gained by playing the exclusive strike. Why would Bungie even bother releasing "starter gear" to XBox a year after launch? It just makes sense to have this gear only drop from that particular strike. Having the gear drop in the strike wouldn't cheapen the experience. It would still be something we earned.
