If microsoft had earned the extra content that would be fair game, but they bought the extra download content, if rockstar wasnt having money problems, it might have been turned down and both console releases been the same.

Money makes microsoft go round, not console quality.

I believe the above is true, sorry if its inaccurate.

im still getting this for my ps3, downloadable content does nothing for me since the game is already large in scale for me, plus like the article said its associated with the playstation and thats where i've always played this series with.....either way MS needs something besides gears of war 2 to hook me to the system this year, because 60 players online for resistance fall of man is simply ridiculous and i know for a fact that game will be on a lot of people's radar, and thats not even including mgs4

The minor extra content doesnt mean alot to me. Not to say it doesnt to other people though. Plus I hardly doubt that people will go out and buy a 360 just because gta will have a little bit more content. I am just about to buy a console and as of right now (i might change my mind) I am leaning toward the ps3. The exclusives this year are looking outstanding.

Besides. Not every 360 comes with a hard drive so MS must be rubbing their dodgy little hands together

As we all know, the 360 owns the PS3 in every way shape and form. As with every 3rd party game that comes out on both systems, the PS3 version took months longer to develop and will ultimately come out as an inferior product. Not inferior due to the fact that it has less episodes...inferior due to the fact that it will have lower framerate.

Of course Rockstar won't admit it beforehand as it would stunt sales on the PS3, but games just look and play better on the 360. Not just most of the games...every single game that comes out for both systems. I am buying myself a 360 the day this game comes out and putting my PS2 to sleep for good. Call me a fan boy all you want, but I am just calling it like I've seen it the last year or so. Another Sony fan jumps ship to the 360!!!!

No need for downloadable content. 360 owners will have to pay for it to.

What do you mean 'if they had earned it?' A game maker is going to make the game for as many consoles as it can unless it has an exclusive arrangement of some kind; and buddy, those cost money. Not earned - bought.

This is without a doubt a ps3 buy for me, GTA belongs on the playstation and i would NEVER buy it on another console. I own a 360 aswell but ps3 wins hands down for me. My 360 has an inch of dust on it these days! Also i would never risk buying a game like GTA on 360 as i have had the RROD once before and its a known fact that games that really push the system give a REALLY high chance of RROD. GTA will push systems like never before, i hope MS is ready and waiting with there warranty forms!!

Shane Kim is a joke. The Grand Theft Auto series was born on the PlayStation console and it will sell better there no matter what, downloadable content is nothing every PS3 has a HDD unlike Xbox 360. PS3 will be better blu-ray

How on earth can MS possibly think they 'own' a joint PS3/360 launch day? The additional content for the 360 will not be released until much later in the year which will have to be paid for by 360 'own'ers.

Plus how do MS think the core system will handle GTA iV. We have already seen how Burnout Paradise will not run online mode due to the lack of HDD.

Come on MS these are small straws your clutching for a mere 50 million dollars.....
