But NOT as much as the OFFICAL bundles. That are coming out THE DAY the game comes out. Think about it, any GTA already sells out on the first day always, some people will just pick up the bundle cause none will be left.

I think it will come down to whichever console you ALREADY own. Not the DLC. But if you own both the 360 and the PS3 the option of DLC might make you decide on the 360 version.

i agree. DLC is mostly important for people who own both the PS3 and 360. Then it might matter. But for new consumers it will not be the deciding factor for most.

Yes. It will make a difference, if I decided to buy the game 6 months from now.

So you have Achievements VS. Home.

Achievements > Home

Simple because I don't know what the F*** the GTA 4 homespace will be until this summer. By this time, I will of probaly moved onto another game like Socom and MGS4. I think Achievements are overrated in my opinion by like JASON said it all depends on what your preferences are.

Gta4 360 = GTa4 PS3.

No.

the 360 will sell more games, because of its much bigger fanbase in the part of the world where gta is popular and get a bigger slice of the ps360 owner pie, but gta is much more likely to sell a greater number of consoles for the ps3 with the bundle.

Theres zero info on it and by the time its released I probably won't care or be bored with the game.

That biased Blog on the PS3 controllers finally pushed me to buy PS3 version...That was desperation at it finest, and it was pathetic.

Bwhahaah.

Exclusive Expansions *are going to make a difference*. You can argue *how much*.

Did GTAIII:VC or GTAIII:SA "make a difference"? Sure, they sold more than the original GTAIII.

It will make a difference to gamers who want to play the only full GTAIV experience. I know it. And all the "no"-PS3 owners above me know it.

Wow some gamers have low IQ. You are sitting here comparing 2 full games san andreas and vice city were both bigger than GTA3. Completely different stories with new characters. Yet you want to compare 2 full games to DLC. I know you have a fanboy heart but you can't have a fanboy brain too.

@rubarb. Seriously speaking if the DLC was on the PS3 it really wouldn't change my opinion on which console to buy. I still haven't pre ordered the game because i am still unsure on which version i want. The major thing holding me back from getting it on ps3 is because 3 of my very good friends just got ps3's. They got it for MGS4 really but they will probably be picking up GTA4 as well. They don't really care about it right now but if they do finally decide to pick up GTA4 then i'm going with ps3. If not then i guess custom soundtracks and achievements won me over but definitely had nothing to do with the DLC. I never finished any GTA game in my life yet you think i will cough out more money to add to my playtime get serious.

@sonarus:

You do realize home.. isnt released yet.

comes with trophies and achievements as well but they are called accomplishments.

Trophies are 3D icons representing achievements... was that "trophy" a "hard achievement"? Big deal. Some Achievements are 10pts, some 100pts -- you need the scale of your Achievement explained to you in a 3D model? Is 10pts < 100pts somehow complex for you?

Are you going to try and tell us that "Trophy-Accomplishments&a mp;q uot; are somehow superior to Achievements? There the same, except one gives you a 3D-icon instead of a 2D-icon (as happens with Achievements on Xbox 360).

Consoles will have the fun first, but when the PC version comes out user MODS will own that game. I can't wait. I still play SA on my PC from time to time because of mods.

But anyways, I'll still be getting the PS3 version regardless of DLC. The game is too long on its own. Plus, there might be a small chance of mod integration with the PSN being a more open network.

I stopped reading when I got to

"PS3’s online experience is complete crap, and since Live is as smooth as silk to use, and since I enjoy going for Achievements"

I didn't realise dedicated servers were 'complete crap'. This fanboy needs to realise that both versions are going to be exactly the same online (minus a few features for the ps3). But in all honesty, are you going to go online to play gta4? or are you going online so you can send and recieve msgs in-game? That's what I thought. Regardless of which console you have, we are all going to enjoy this game very game and get almost an identicle experience.... except of course for the wii owners :D

And ps3 owners will most likely be getting trophies for gta4 as well, so achievements shouldn't really come into it imo.

1) Downloadable content is coming for the PS3 version sooner or later.

Wrong. How about *never*. You guys just dont give up eh?

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

"So it looks like with this new announcement if you were planning on playing the Vice City/San Andreas versions of GTA IV the 360 is the Definitive version to get, with the first expansion arriving as early as Fall this year and the next one to follow-up in 2009.

GTAIV DLC
* When MS says exclusive, they mean that no other system can have DLC content for GTAIV.
* It will be bigger than a lot of people think. GTA3 Vice City and San Andreas were basically expansions of GTA3. Think of the DLC that way. We are talking major expansion for GTAIV"

2) By buying the PS3, I'm getting a Blu ray player.

A) Digital Download...
B) BluRay discs are like 5% of the market, and very expensive.
C) BR players, if you want one, will cost $150 by Xmass.

And, besides, since when was GTAIV a _movie_? Try and stay on topic, screaming BR! BR! at every topic is tired and boring.

3) I get to play MGS4, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, FFXIII, FFXIII Versus

And not Lost Odyssey, Fable 2, Halo Wars, Gears of War or Huxley or...

4) Home integration has been confirmed for GTA

Is that going to enable uniform, game-agnostic, cross game friend invites, text/video/voice messages and custom soundtracks?

Now, I have a question for those who have a PS3 *AND* an Xbox 360:

I *honestly* dont know, but is Home going to bring the missing features to PS3 or will it be Second Life (where you have to all leave your respective game, wait for people, then start a game together -- are you going to be able to send a message from Game A to your friend in Game B because of Home? It certainly doesnt seem so...)

It seems like Home isnt the solution to PS3's lack of in-game Guide features.

As for your first three points -- ESPECIALLY the refusal to accept reality about the Exclusive Expansions for Xbox 360 -- are just a lot of hot air.

I was sort of let down by the Shivering Isles expansion. The whole " MADGOD realm, was alittle out there" let alone it had only 1 big quest and stupid useless miniquest.

I expected alot of other armor options with new cool weapons. There were only a few, and story of the whole realm sucked Monkey. The worst part was that the new summon spells sucked.

More people bought GTAIII: San Andreas and GTAIII: Vice City than bought GTAIII.

Some people dont play the every last mission, but many do, and many love to just spent time in the game, and the Xbox 360 is getting the only Expansions... so, if you want new, in-game content, Xbox 360 is your only option... and, honestly, a goddamn fine option at that.

60 bucks* for an expansion seems a little expensive though. LOL, and people complain about GT5:P and GT5.

Thank you Sir Ken Fishhead for listing that stupid lame ass lineup once again. I think we almost forgot it for 4 secs. CRAPSTATION (tm) fans like yourself are so pityful and envious that you have to list all these games to try and seem important. It's like that a little kid yelling to get attention "look at me!".

You fail so hard. You have the inferior version of GTA so just be a man and live with that and stop being a baby.

You fishheads knew this was coming. If the POS3 hadn't of derailed the release date of the game we would already be playing it. You knew this was coming and you can list every game in the world but that doesn't change that you get the crap end of the GTA stick.

What crap end of the stick would that be? You mean the crap end because the PS3 looks better?

You mean the crap end because the PS3 has better AI?

You mean the crap end because the PS3 has a more lush and full city (more people, more vehicles)

You mean the crap end because the PS3 doesn't have frame rate issues?

You mean the crap end because the PS3 doesn't have police popping out of thin air with poor spawning constructions?

Crap? Hardly. But since you received the lower quality version on the 360, your answer to solve having crap is more crap makes it better? With that logic you will go far in life I am sure.

As to POG, I am genuinely concerned for his mental state, even 360 fanatics can see that that guy is on a journey down the path of madness. I can imagine the breakdown he will have if GTA4 is indeed better on the PS3 or when MGS4 comes out and wows people like it already has.

As a fellow 360 fanatic and presumably his "special" friend you should also be concerned, and the fact that you're not brings into question how good of a friend you are. Friends don't let friends write crazy. LOL.
