I think Microsoft got what they wanted out of this deal. They got the next big GTA game day and date with Playstation 3 that is all that matters to them. The song "Anything you can do I can do better" comes to mind.
One other thing, back in the day when it was Nintendo and Sony people had a fit that all Nintendo had was 1st and 2nd party companies making games for them. Sony was king becaues they had massive 3rd party support. Now that Sony is on the 1st and 2nd part...
I do not think the 50 million was just for DLC. I think part of that was to sweeten the deal to get the game on the system. If you take a step back and think about it, Take 2 needs money and what better way to get it then to agree to a small(large) donation from Microsoft.
I beat the game on vet but it did take a bit of time. All I have to say is the game is Frag city.If he thought he could beat the game in less then 12 hours on vet well he's crazy.

I am so looking forward to this game but I can't help but see the double standared put on people who are not impressed. If someone says the game looks hot then they are A OK but if someone is not happy with what they saw then they are wrong. We know it was a 7 second clip and not in HD (I have spike HD on my direct TV). If someone says it looks bad and you reply it was only 7 seconds then the same rules apply to you as well when you say it looks good. I do not doubt that this game will rock b...
All I can say is that's what you get when you ask for someone else’s "OPINION" on what to buy. HipHop gamer already knew what the deal was so why even bother to prove a point. If someone asked me what system to buy I would direct them to do some research and second find out what their friends have. I have never in my life seen the term "Fanboy" tossed around so much. Again he asked this guy for his "Opinion", I can bet if he offered a PS3 would the clerk in turn ...
And in other news "A group of people ate lunch today".

I checked my email and I got mine. I hope to see you all.
360/PSN: IronAvatar
This is just getting out of hand. One week its PS3 and the next week its Xbox360. Just because something does not go right one week does not mean it will not change the next week. Here we have Fallou 3 is broken and blah blah blah... MS paid them and now they are lazy. For the love of god no one paid anyone and this is just dumb. I do believe they will fix the game but it does take time. I love my PS3 and I love my 360 (my Wii can go to He**)j/k but again as gamers Lay off the doomsday articl...
I can agree that an HDD less 360 was a waste but I do believe the ads are not aimed at hardcore gamers. I do think that the $199 sku is aimed at people that want to get their kids something cheap for Christmas with a few games. If you are a real gamer or have friends that are in the know, most likely you will know what you are getting into. Do you think most parents care if little jimmy can save his game... heck no as long as they have a baby sitter they are fine.
I can't wait. I have no idea how I'm going to play all the games out right now or coming out.
Far Cry 2
Dead Space
FallOut 3
Geow 2
LBP
R2
Fable 2
COD5
plus my new T-Mobile G1 phone
All paid for and ready for action. I am done until KZ2 comes out.
Just checked my Email and I received my Gamestop beta code. Only problem is I can't play becase I have stitches in my right hand. Oh hell I'll try anyway.
To start things off, I Love “GAMES” not systems (besides Dreamcast lol). So let’s put things into perspective here. Say MS focused of 1st party and Sony kept all their exclusives from third party publishers. Do you think the third party company’s would A) work for Sony for free and B) ignore the selling potential for their IP? I say no. Also wouldn’t that make the 1st party statement that is tossed around here a double standard? Because in short MS would be 1st party focused and Sony would s...
I know the Beta is almost over but did anyone hear back from USA Today web site. If not I am happy to say that I was luck enough to get a free beta key from them. I know I only have a few days but Oh well I am going to have a LBP weekend.
I own all three systems and to me I do not care which console is in first, second or third place. Will it make a difference if Sony does overtake 360 for second place... No. The reason for this is third party games will just about release on every system. To all that think the one year headstart 360 had was for nothing, you my friend are wrong. What that one year head start did was get the system into over 10 million homes. I can see if the system did not sell well then it would be for nothi...
I for one do not care which console has the better version of FFXIII. I own all three consoles and I am more then happy to see this game released on 360 as well. Gamers have to realize that companies are out to make money first, please gamers second. I do not know why people think that Final Fantasy is a Sony product. Final Fantasy titles continue to be released on DS so why not add 360 to the mix. As long as you get the game on the system that you own and you are happy about it, there is no ...
@ super
Thanks and I look forward to seeing how this whole thing turns out.
I do not understand why so much hate for Microsoft. Every time something happens in the game industry with Microsoft all I see is “ooo I bet they paid a lot of money for this and for that.” But when Sony has to announce something it is because they are Sony and not because they have money. This is a business people and it is not Microsoft’s fault they have money to burn and others do not. I am new to this site and in the past few days all I have read is people going back and fourth about my s...
I could care less about the review score of Halo 3 , GTA 4 or even God of War 1 & 2 all I care about is having a good time with the game I bought for my system. When ever a game does not get a score someone expects it to, it drives people mad. I do not care how much swag microsoft sends to gaming sites, all I care about is getting the game in my hands. I love MGS games an again I am looking forward to MGS4 but until I have the game in my hands and have played it "for myself", it...
The real problem is the people getting upset over someone else's opinion. Does it make a difference if MGS4 got a 9.9 or a 10. I do not care what type of score a reviewer gives a game, if I want it I'm going to buy it. Reviews have been around for a long time and I have never used a review to decied if I should buy a game or not. Am I looking foward to MGS4... Yes. Is it the be all end all game... No If that were the case than why am I even playing videogames to began with. This is a great we...
Can anybody be happy with anything less then 100? The main question is; are you still going to buy the game? If the answer is yes then why care about someone else’s "OPINION". If this game got 3 out of 100 I would still buy it because this is a game "I" want not what some reviewer thinks I should buy. Every time a PS3 game gets a lower score then what "others" think it should receive, its because the site or mag was bias. Well this review came from OPM so I guess...
