Yea right, you launch a game in the Spring and the content doesn't come until fall? For the people who would still be playing that would be a benefit, but that exclusive content will hardly dictate sales. GTA4 will sell better on 360 because it has a larger install base not because of the exclusive content.

There are many reasons why the 360 version will sell more

3.1 - what?
what was that rant about?Take it to the open zone if you want to vent your fanboyish opinions. I really don't understand what you are trying to say....yes the downloadable content for the 360 is coming out at the end of 2008. Right ok, and what exactly?! Oh ok, after reading through your comment again and again, i got what you were trying to say. I dont think when its released people are going to care about the downloadable content, more concerned with the game as a whole, then when the game has been played to death, which it will be by the end of 2008, new content gets released, which will spark life back into the game again, can't really be seen as a bad thing can it. I'm sure PS3 will get its own content but no need to start trying to start annoying people by comments like yours, like the PS3 is the only way to go. You are just as bad as the people you have just complained about.

On topic, glad to hear the downloadable content is scheduled for this year, really looking forward to this game, can't wait.

I can't understand how people can put a negative spin on downloadable content for the Xbox. Mind you, most likely I will not be able to enjoy it, as I do not own an xbox myself, but come on, more is good.

Who knows, maybe by then I'll have an Xbox to enjoy it.

sony needs to buy dlc for ps3 or ps3 version will be really sad, come on sony you can do it!!

ps3 fans should boycott ps3 version of gta4 if it has no dlc

11.1 - @boycott
I think a boycott would be a little rash; the game will be good even without two missions.

I've been wondering though, can this really be seen as bonus content? Or is it more likely content that was in the original version that was stripped from the disc thanks to a heft payment?

yeah man

its like ms is paying for missions and stuff that should come already on the BLUE RAY

rockstar is already making the dlc so it will mostly be done when the game comes out but they are saving it for xbox live dlc, not really fair to PS3

boycott

11.3 - to hurt rockstar or sony
By boycotting the ps3 version, it only reaffirms what MS wants to happen. Paying for exclusive content is setting a horrible precedent. If paying for exclusive content results in higher sales, then this act will only become more routine.

On can see where this slippery slope goes. Maybe Sony and Nintendo can purchase the content for some games, but they can't keep up with MS in all games.

12 - It's not free?
"No information regarding pricing or content has been announced yet."

I thought the DLC was going to be free?

Could of swore I read that someplace quite a while ago.

Am I mistaken?

Well we are talking Microsoft here, and we all know they love giving away free stuff when there's a dollar to be made. All the extra purchases needed to make the 360 wireless and with a harddrive were free so why not this right?

16 - I have a PS3 and 360. I genuinely dont know which version to get
I want the extra content - but not at any price.
Mindedon you make a valid point. If we pay (and it will be at least 1000 points) will it just encourage Microsoft to charge us more often for extra content?

I genuinely havent decided which version to go for. :(

i do not believe DLC will push the sales of this game on the X360.

me personally, i'm getting it for the X360 versus my PS3 because my brother owns an X360.

that's always the main reason why i choose the 360 multiplats over the PS3. not because of DLC.

For all the complainers about the DLC, the DLC is equal to San Andreas/Vice City, that's an incredibly amount of content that's like 2 entire exclusive games.

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

- No price has been discussed yet. It’s up to Rockstar on whether or not they will charge for it

- If successful, DLC may be the new way to deliver GTA expansions
