Let the home avatars be usable in customizable multiplayer characters. Then every one will be running around as their avatars. People would love that. Simple and neat.

Whiles this is good news if true, I'd advise you guys not to get your hopes up. These are the same dudes that *confirmed* mgs4 demo for PSN and it turned out to be bullshit. For their creditability, I hope they are right.

I will not buy any episodic content. The only things i may consider are would be things that are relevant to online play because that has the most replay value. As for single player I already payed $60 so i'm not going get milked like some of you people. I rather move to the next great game than this rubbish.

This is all rumours, that's all I can tell form that magazine. It says "it's likely that PS3 will get it's own downloadable content", and the Home inclusion is a rumour aswell (but likely).

I am pretty sure that PS3 version will get the same DLC as the 360 version but not from launch. It will most likely get it 6 months later.

This story will probably be the hottest story on N4G in an hour.

Prologue is more of a demo. Extra content that Xbox 360 gets is overkill to a game that will have at least a 100 hours of single player gameplay with online deathmatch multiplayer on top of that. Plus M$ will have you selling blood and semen for that extra content.

lol @ vice president of GTA4 lol
@toughName. If rockstar was offering an early peek at GTA4 with 1/4 the content for 40 bucks, i can guarantee you ppl would pay for it to get an early taste of the game. DLC comes after and it is unnecessary but it will cater to the most hardcore of GTA4 fans. If you are a hardcore GTA4 fan you would want DLC because GTA4 is a game you plan to be playing for a REALLY long time.

The "extra" content should already be in the game because if they're already talking about DLC before the game releases then they are probably holding it back. You are part of the problem if you buy any DLC.

I did not buy Gran Turismo Prologue and that is different because Gran Turismo Prolouge caters to the people who want to play GT5 right now which totally different than releasing a game and then putting out the DLC a month after.

Did you buy one or more of the following three:

A) GTAIII.
B) GTAIII: Vice City
C) GTAIII: San Andreas

If you did, you bought an Expansion.

Further, just so you know, GTA _fans_ would have bought them all. I personally did. Many people I know have more than one.

Xbox 360 are getting the exclusive Expansions. Perhaps you just dont like GTA. That's fine, no one says you must.

You're not appreciating the reality of the market for GTA.

The sales of VC & SA were each _LARGER_ than GTAIII.

So, yeah, the Exclusive Expansions are kinda-a-big deal. And just for the record, this story is a total fabrication of bullshit and misrepresents the article completely.

The xbox 360 will also get "exclusive" content like these PS3 themes and pictures.

Unlike what is suggested in the Summary, this has nothing to do with in-game content like the Exclusive Expansions only on Xbox 360.

1. 360 DLC content will not sell as well as MS will hope

2. Buying DLC is wrong and you should do it unless it's done right

No I have never bought a GTA game before. GTA4 will be my first. DLC is not a big deal when GTA4 "expansion(vice city)" is coming out in a year anyway. You are wrong if you think the DLC will sell well.

I will argue that GT5P is what DLC should be because it caters to the people who cannot wait for the full GT5 game. For people who can wait like me I will buy the full game but not GT5P. Whereas Take 2 is already talking about DLC before the game is released which indicates that they can put the content into the disc. Oh yea I almost forgot the 360 can't all that data because of the DVD9 space constraint.

You are part of the problem if you buy the DLC! If people would stop buying them maybe they would include it in the original game.

HOME inclusion: I think this was a given but it should really open up HOME for people not fortunate enough to be in the beta. I could see launching rooms for each type of MP. I could also see some pretty sweet story arcs explained in depth. Maybe more background story and other neat tidbits.

The DLC is nice and cool and all but i wonder what it will be. If it adds something to the existing game it will be of more value to me than adding additional missions. I still say with this large of a game additional story is unneeded.

EDIT: BTW

Home integration isnt confirmed. this is just a rumor, but one that i am sure is going to be true.

It would have been stupid not to release some DLC for PS3! I don't think that just putting some on the 360 would have sold more 360's or 360 copys of GTA4. It would have just Pis*** off alot of PS3 owners.

It mentions both.

Besides . . . misrepresenting stories is what the 360 fanboys do, not the PS3 fanboys. All fanboys are annoying, yes, but I haven't seen something this blatant done in a long time:

LOL, sure...

People are still confusing DLC coming for both consoles or even some that could be exclusive to one or the other. *This trying to confuse DLC with major exclusive game expansions* is getting ridiculous.

Hey 10.2, why dont you try and correct the FUD in 10.1 instead of trying to slam PoG.

The point is that the Exclusive Expansions are what Xbox 360 are getting. IN-GAME CONTENT.

This article saying "PS3 gets DLC" is accurate. But the summary, and this forum is trying to turn that into "PS3 gets Exclusive Expansions (DLC)!!1!" which is wrong.

The PS3 will get themes and such, so will the Xbox 360. So, to say that this kind of material is "exclusive" is silly. Because the two GUIs are totally different.

Are we going to get an article saying "Xbox 360 Gets Exclusive Last Remnant DLC!" because Square Enix makes Xbox 360 gamerpics?

No. But that is what this story actually *IS*, but the summary and title (and this forum) is INTENTIONALLY trying to suggest, which is exactly wrong.

Both games will get "exclusive non-game DLC".

Only the Xbox 360 is getting Exclusive Expansions ((which happen to be DLC, but is beside the point, it could ship on a disc) see Oblivion expansions via DLC on Xbox 360 vs. Disc for PS3).

Would it be correct to say "Xbox 360 Gets Exclusive DLC for Oblivion!!1!"? No, because the expansions are also on PS3, just happen to not be DLC.

**WHAT** is the DLC? The Xbox 360 gets the Exclusive GTAIV Expansions. Via DLC. And it wont be coming to PS3, on DLC or disc.
