(I'll just ignore the fact that you think any of the stages in SCIV belong to specific characters.)
Shouldn't a "new" stage that's a retool of an old stage be an EASIER thing to render as DLC than an actually new stage? I think you're overestimating the staggering file size it would take to insert a big wall and change the lighting conditions in an existing environment.
(I -obviously unlike you- don't know the stages' exact names by heart and thus needed some point of reference to explain what i was talking about. and you apparently understood which stage I meant. so i don't THINK every character has an own specific stage that only belongs to them alone. i just have absolutely no intention to ever learn all the stages, characters and historical connections between them, only so i could recite them to some pick-me-mrs-krabapple-i'm-ever-so-smart like you. peace.)
my point was that (referring to older posts of you, i think) bamco could no longer make the new stages available in online game when only one party had downloaded them as DLC...because then one player would have an invisible wall in said stage. that would have only been possible if the "new stages" involved different textures and lightning settings, but no more changes in space/walls/objects whatsoever. it was admittedly naive to think that bamco would not try to make money out of that. so they probably will tease everyone who hasn't paid for DLC. if at all they'll make an effort in bringing BD stuff to the PS3.
about Kratos: there won't be another kratos-moveset-character exclusive to 360. if i remember correctly, one of the developers promised that he will have his original moveset from GOW --> that means that they obviously used the moves they got from sony. which are sony copyrighted.
