GTA IV DLC: 'We want to fry Xbox Live'

Rockstar isn't saying much about GTA IV's exclusive Xbox 360 DLC (rumoured to have cost MS upwards of $50m), but the first hints on what we might be able to expect from the downloadable 'episodes' have finally emerged, in the latest issue of Edge magazine.

[skynidas]

Im sure they will

[sonarus]

well i have been critical of the GTA DLC content for a while. Rockstar is an extremely proud studio who cherish the GTA series very dearly so whatever DLC content they plan to introduce, i am sure it will be worth while.
However i am sticking with the ps3 version for following reasons
1. Friends i play with online are mostly on ps3.
2. I refuse to be stuck waiting on DLC if they came out and announced what it was i would reconsider.
3. Controller preference (NOTE: Its a preference so if you don't feel the same thats your bloody business)
4. I have a larger collection for my ps3 games.

Anyone feel like convincing me otherwise go ahead but do it without the use achievements because i care very little for these custom soundtracks i do care about though so i remain optimistic this will be included by the time the game is released. If not i might once again have to reconsider

[Glad to be a gamer]

Yeah im gonna get the ps3 version to i mean why would i given the choice want the option to lengthen/add more depth to a potentially great game though expansions.

Ironic how the console that uses dvds will have more content for gta then the console that uses blue ray.

[Black_Jack]

and also ironic that the dlc will come out exclusively on the platform where hd drives are not always there!? hehe works both ways

[Mr Playboy]

I'm happy with my investment AKA 360

[chaosatom333]

"for the downloadable content in general, it's about seeing how people get turned on by the game, and then we will tailor the production."

So there is no way in hell that it will be as massive as vice city or san andreas.
and
what's the "rumoured to have cost MS upwards of $50m", so nobody knows yet?

[wow4u]

Well, we knew that that bit of clever language would be sure to bring out the anti-MSFT trolls eh?

He means he wants all 10 Million Xbox LIVE users to get into the DLC from the start. To "set them on fire" is a euphamism, like "fry Xbox LIVE".

I love GTA, and I'll be online for those DLCs on Day One.

[dragonJP]

...I really respect your opinion on getting GTAIV for the PS3, and as an owner of both the PS3 and the Xbox 360, I have to admit that I am a bit torn on which system I should get GTAIV on.

However, I am leaning towards the 360, for mainly the same reasons you are going with the PS3 version.

1. FRIENDS ON XBOX LIVE. The majority of my friends are on Xbox Live, and I'm looking forward to possible co-op missions...

2. DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT. This is a big one. I cannot wait to see what MS paid "upwards of $50 million" to Rockstar. It has to be huge, and the idea of possibly playing an entire expansion pack ONLY ON XBOX 360 makes a huge difference for me. I think that whatever the DLC is, MS will make a marketing push for it when the game releases...

3. THE BLOODY CONTROLLER. Just sayin'. That 360 controller is damn near PERFECT, FOR ME. Let me repeat that last part, "FOR ME." I have no problems with any cats who prefer the Sixaxis. I'm awaiting the DualShock3 myself...

4. GAMES COLLECTION. Since I am a classic "Cheap Ass Gamer," my PS3 games collection is pitiful compared to my 360 games' collection. Down here in Miami Florida it seems like PS3 games are never on sale (hey, I'm on a budget-- see CAG reference above), while 360 games are always on sale...

Possible custom soundtracks are also a big deal for me. One of the best things about the 360 is the ability to play whatever music you want during games, and that would be huge for such a massive sandbox game as GTA. I still play PGR3 just listen to my favorite tracks while racing... hopefully the next big update for PS3 (this summer?) will add this great feature...

P.S.: Almost forgot. I know you care little for achievements, but there are millions of 360 fans salivating at the idea of what the GTAIV achievements are going to be....

[Exhaust]

and whats happened in prior massive volume spikes like Halo 3 I bet XBL will "fry" when this DLC comes out.

I'm gonna try to beat the rush when it comes out if I can...

[wow4u]

Nothing happened to at the launch of Halo 3.

There were some minor, temporary troubles at Xmass, but that was because they had MANY hundreds of thousands of people pound the sign-up subsystem.

I saw zero problem, and I was able to sign-up my nephew's new Gold account without issue during the period of trouble.

[dragonJP]

...to get in on that 500 MS Points deal I here you guys across the pond are getting for pre-ordering GTAIV. MS should partner up with Circuit City or Gamestop over here... bet that would spur pre-orders....

[Lord Vader]

Man, I wish someone would spill the beans on the MP = Does anyone have any information on MP yet ?

[Syko]

OH GOD!! Get the free XBLA game ready MS before the fanboys riot. lol

[Silellak]

Dear Rockstar:

Please don't. We just barely recovered from January.

Hugs and kisses,

Annoyed 360 owner.

[skynidas]

LOL

[MiniMii]

With a title like that, you were asking for it.

But anyway, the "episodic content" for the 360 is nothing but a few side missions taking 10-30 mins to complete.

These xbots are ignoring facts and are in denial:

- MS paid 50M so that Rockstars GTA4 wouldnt be a PS3 timed exclusive. They didnt paid 50M so you bots end up with fking 9GB expansion packs

- XBOX LIVE has DL limits. Incompatible with the rumor that GTA4 DLs would be bigger than VC or SA.

- The fanbase is on the PS3. Rockstar will not risk upsetting and screwing their fans.

- The fact that they have not revealed anything yet means that whatever it is, isnt as huge as xbots make it out to be.

- The article said that Houser said the following: "In the game, you might be walking around and then someone will come up to you and say something like, 'Hey, I need your help', and you'll be like, 'What?"

AKA 10-30 mins episodes. Hahaha.

Deal with the facts.

Also this comes from the story and Houser himself. He said:

"Don't worry though, the marketing budget isn't going to spawn from your Microsoft Points: "You'll get a lot of content for your money," says Houser. "There are too many stories at the moment of people having the feeling that they're not getting enough for their money in terms of downloadable content."

Notice how he said "youll get a lot of content for your money".

AKA its gonna cost ya money to buy the episodes. ROFL just like how all of us has told ya fking so, so many times, xbot.

[NO_PUDding]

I am getting it on PS3. But seriosuly grow up and spell correctly please, then maybe we can chnage you into your big boy pants (the GamerZone).

What you say is predominantly true, but you act so bitter about it, you are giving 360 fanboys a reason to laugh. I just want to see how sixaxis works.

[Pain]

Cant say it beter cuz u said it great. Xbot = Delusional

i like many of my friend will be getting PS3 version.
No body i know wants Xbox version.

[TheMART]

Oh you're so wrong in so many points... damn

"MS paid 50M so that Rockstars GTA4 wouldnt be a PS3 timed exclusive. They didnt paid 50M so you bots end up with fking 9GB expansion packs "

Can you give the link to the official contract where that is stated? Or did you rub your magic crystal ball again?

"XBOX LIVE has DL limits."

You sound wise. Can you give the exact limit please?

"The fanbase is on the PS3. "

Wrong. The fanbase is on GTA. And because it was exclusive on the PS2 last gen, they bought that machine with it.

This time around GTA fans see the most complete GTA version on the 360 and the 360 price drop just made the Premium 130 Euro cheaper then the PS3. The mass of people will buy a console that's closer to 200 Euro/Dollar and have GTA. Which is the 360. Rockstar knows were to make money and don't care about if it's the PS3 or the 360

"The fact that they have not revealed anything yet means that whatever it is, isnt as huge as xbots make it out to be."

As you say they have not revealed what it is. So it could even be bigger then 'xbots' make it to be. Because you can't say its less then that also. It could be more

"AKA its gonna cost ya money to buy the episodes."

But you don't know how much. If the game gets Vice City kind of extra content, for example for 10 Euro or whatever, its a great deal. Add-ons for other games also cost money. Like Oblivion has extra stuff you can buy.

There are no problems, but you make them. Kid.

[360_Rules]

Ok where does he said the DLC is only going be 30mins fool? Yeah that is right he doesn't. Dude you are so jealous you are crying! Hahahahahhahahahahahhaa get an Xbox 360 this fall and stop being a dumba@ss fanboy.

[t-0_ot-]

MiniMii - Wow, you really need to become a gamer and go play some games.. Yo Mini, Mart just murdered your ass. Ahahahahahaha

[GETPWNZORED]

lol dumbass droid. the oblivion expansion , shivering isles, is like a gig and its a whole new 40 hour game. dumbass. be gone.

[Bastard 360]

What year are you living in, no wait i'll rephase that because your thick what planet are you living on, ah i see your an xbox fanboy, don't you ever get tired of being wrong, you do realise it doesn't matter what you say it can't alter the truth your not convincing anyone. People will want GTA IV when it's released not 1 year after so i would forget all that crap about GTA IV Exclusive content selling it because that wont arrive for like 6 months to a year later, i mean come on are people gonna hang off for that, is MS gonna be desperate and advertise that there version has more to ofter and people should buy it for that reason only that they will have to wait 6 months to a year for that, then there told they have to download it, when in actual fact half of people with consoles will never touch the internet services. A lot of people didin't have PS2 when GTA 3 was released and that games didin't spike for some time, so please don't give me bull that it's gonna sell millions of consoles because it's not, people will buy whatever console they want and last time i checked Sony is beating MS in the worldwide sales, MS has lost the HD format battle and is now gonna use BLU-RAY, they obviously don't know how to solve the RROD, either that or they enjoy annoying there ignorant fanbase, i think when one console goes back a new one is sent out, MS then says 1 customer but 2 Xbox 360 sold, when it's really one ouch.

[MiniMii]

You people are delusional and are out of touch with reality.

Lmao @ MS makes Gears of war.

Fking delusional you people are.

MiniMii has fking OWNED you.

[narindp]

you wouldnt be faced with downloadable content if DVD had more storage space

[Silellak]

Wrong.

Seriously, when will this crap stop?

The downloadable content ISN'T FINISHED YET. How could it be included on the initial disc if it doesn't done? Do you want to wait until next year for GTA4? Oh, you don't? Then shut your fanboy mouth.

[Exhaust]

narindp if you really believe that how do you explain the truck load of DLC for PS3 exclusive games like Motorstorm or Folklore?

Maybe you should look at the whole picture before you copy and paste some canned fanboy talking point?

[power091999]

a. It's additional content (meaning its not part of the original product)

b. I have quite a few Games on Blu-Ray, and DVD. Both have downloadable content. (Space is not the point)

c. Your attempt to bash the 360's dvd drive failed.

I am not going to lie, I prefer my PS3 over my 360. I just can't stand fanboy's who can't even make a valid point for their chosen system.

Instead they blindly make comments like yours.

Come back when you can grow some facial hair. Until then you should probably put your comments in the Open Zone. ======>

[Lord Vader]

Well, dvd9 was apparently big enough to run DMC4 without a freakin' 5gb download, which made me buy the X360 version even though I have a PS3. Seriously, as a PS3 owner, the only game I know of for sure that could use BluRay is MGS4 & giant RPG's like LOst Odessey.

Not to mention, the DLC *will not be finished* by the time the game releases. You need to move to the *other* zone.

Man, I *hate* fangirls.

[dragonJP]

...what DVD storage space has to do with DLC that most likely hasn't even taken shape or form at Rockstar yet. R* probably wants to see what the initial reaction to the games (Ratings AND Sales) is before really getting to work on the DLC. If 360 fans make the game an overnight smash, expect them to go all out for the DLC. None of this stuff was intended for the April release, so DVD is a non-issue....

[Glad to be a gamer]

There are a few games that i keep to replay and get dlc and this is probably gonna be one of them. glad i'll have access to the full experience.

[Milky]

I might get it.

[etownone]

"You'll get a lot of content for your money," says Houser. "There are too many stories at the moment of people having the feeling that they're not getting enough for their money in terms of downloadable content. I never want people feeling that we've duped them in any way, shape or form. That's something that we've been into from the beginning."

Now I really really hope people on this website will stop with excuses like the DLC wont be that good anyways, but you still have to pay for it, nobody will care when it does come, etc. etc. etc.

Now if you have you both a ps3/360, and you choose the ps3, your either a liar or your just plain stupid.

Controller excuse is getting old. And by the way, they changed the aiming system and now it feels more like a FPS, so if it will make it easier on you, at least now you know it wont control exactly to what your used to, and if its more like a FPS and you have a 360, then you got the controller best suited for FPS.

[JackBauerIsHIGH]

I am not lying, and I am still getting the PS3 version whether or not it gets DLC. I played the GTA series on PS and that is not going to change for anything. Personally for me, the controller is much more comfortable than the 360's, so how is it an excuse when it's a fact for me?

Not everyone is like you, so don't try and portray a group as wrong because they are different than you. That's ignorant.

[wow4u]

"I am not lying, and I am still getting the PS3 version whether or not it gets DLC"

Because you dont own an Xbox 360. Clearly, the Xbox 360 is the one to have.

Not only is the DLC exclusive, but the Xbox LIVE features enable you to play with your friends in a vastly superior manner.

[DRUDOG]

n4user you are starting to sound a lot like zhuk. You shouldn't be calling people out when they are just stated a simple opinion about why they would choose to purchase a game on a certain console. The guy didn't bash your beloved 360 so no need to bash him because he doesn't agree with your logic.

[foodbox]

Just so you know, n4user1's -logic- trumps opinion. Thats kind-of the nature of logic.

[Black_Jack]

well its just that the definiion of fanboy means that opinion can never be accepted if it opposes their own, there's nothing anyone can say to a fanboy that would make him say "wow i guess thats your opinion although thats not for me i can see your point of view" no chance."

if i said to you i own a ps3 and i will get it for the ps3 because i sold my 360 two months ago someone would disagree. thats n4g for you, i stated two facts which no one else could ever dispute yet people will disagree and take my bubbles. its n4g deal with it.

[1stKnighT]

So are there any gamers here that own both the ps3 and 360 and is going to choose the ps3 version??? It only makes sense to get the 360 version.

[etownone]

well you got guys like sonarus 1.1 giving some real WEAK excuses why he will choose the ps3 version, but he doesn't say anything about owning a 360.

there have always been many guys on this site claiming to own a 360 and ps3 but say they will still buy the ps3 version. I'd like to hear their weak excuses now too.

[power091999]

It is not that the additional content does not intrigue me, it does.

My XBLive account actually just expired about 2 weeks ago, and I have thought about renewing it. The only thing that is stopping me, is that I don't use XBL for any other games. I used to play a lot of Forza, and Halo but I just lost interest in both of them.

So it ended up being more of a "Do I spend $110 bucks now, and get GTA4, and XBL for another year?", or "Do I spend $60 now get the game, and use the $50 dollars I saved for a Dual Shock 3, or GT5P?"

I am choosing the latter of the two. It does not bother me not to have the additional content though. This may change after I play this game and realize I really want to get the extra content. I will sell my PS3 ver. and get it for the 360.

So it mostly just came down to money for me. No other reason then that.

[Black_Jack]

ok i'll say this, yes i am mega p!ssed off that the dlc wont be coming to the ps3, for one the psn network is free so affectively the dlc will cost less (as i dont have to subscibe) plus iv got so used to playing gta on a dualshock that i'd prefer to carry on. i do prefer my ps3 over my 360 in most cases and i dunno it would just feel better to get it on the ps3 to add to my gta collection i already have.

....but i own both consoles and i will get it for my 360, why? because of the content and nothing else. if the ps3 had the dlc aswell there would be no question about which i'd buy, THE PS3 VERSION, owning both consoles, you must see that? its not so clear cut for say the casual gamer though, so don't just call someone dumb for choosing the ps3 version. I dont!

alot of my friends who are casual gamers have said to me they dont even complete most of the games they play.

why not just lighten up and be happy about the extra chapters which we can purchase

[sabbath420]

The sony fans are more interested in the DLC than the 360 fans are. Why worry about it.

[Official General]

LOL you are one funny guy - first up let me say this on a personal note - I'm not a Blood so relax, I'm from London (UK) not damn Compton, Los Angeles. I just liked the avatar, it's looks cool and original - yes it connotates a negative image, but a fashionable one too, just like GTA SA was cool (the Bloods are no joke and yes I know about the Newark bloods).... but thats all it is, really.

Now back to the subject - you are either are not reading or listening to my posts properly, or you just keep missing the point.

Ok let me put it like this; just FORGET this 360 GTA 4 DLC for now - I dont like the way Glad to be a Gamer tries to force his opinions on others while taunting and mocking them at the same time. He also thinks he can read other peoples minds and feelings and that other gamers should or have to follow his lead/opinion and I dont like that, for the last time it aint about the DLC! Please understand this man and stop being ignorant.

[Mr Playboy]

If you have any problem with glad to be gamer, PM him we don't need to listen to your SH!t in here, gamer zone is only about the topic or go to open zone and say whatever you want.

[l3w15]

I Currenttly own a 360 and a ps3 and just to clear things up i have more games for my 360 but i saw a user post that lag in febuary n january for XBL has been terrible on COD4, so i have been playing my ps3 alot more and proberlly prefere it but thats a different matter!

With GTA il probs get the ps3 version as my XBL membership runs out soon i anit renewin it as i dont see any games ''exclusive' coming out for 360 so therefore il give my 360 to my cousin.

reasons for the ps3 is

1. All my friends play it PS3
2. if there is a MP, then more people be on as PS3 in main fanbase for GTA
3. as PS3 main One for GTA i think there will be BIGGER and Better DLC than ''10 min side missions'
5. and free online lol, past 3 months my XBl has been crap!(not been able to sign in,Problems on COD4, so why shall i pay for it when sony has free online service with my mates who i can have a laugh with)

anyways i though after GTA4, rockstar exclusive to SONY ? hmm ?

[etownone]

didn't you hear, Max Payne being made by Rockstar for ps3 and 360.
So no exclusive from Rockstar for you... yet. But since your getting rid of your Xbox, now you can keep hoping and waiting for PS3 DLC or an exclusive ps3 game from Rockstar. PS3 owners are VERY good at the waiting game.

and this article is just an affirmation of what the entire industry knows as fact, Xbox LIVE has the superior online experience @ this time. So, if you can afford both a PS3 and 360 but cant afford a measly $4 a month for LIVE, maybe you shouldn't be spending your every penny on video game consoles and start selling some more stuff.

[Mr Playboy]

do you think M$ paid 50 million dollar to R* just for "10 min side missions" ??? sorry but you are wrong, but still not confirmed, but I think its gonna big or maybe a new map

If I were you, I'll keep the 360, there many big titles gears 2,bioshock 2 and more

@ etownone

Bubbles

[Mr Playboy]

I'll take the 360 version because we will have the full GTAIV experience as R* said

Anyway, Its your choice do "whatever" you want

[wow4u]

"but i saw a user post that lag in febuary n january for XBL has been terrible on COD4"

No. But, I did see more than one post that COD4 PSN users couldnt even connect to a game, and it was unusable.

"With GTA il probs get the ps3 version as my XBL membership runs out soon i anit renewin it as i dont see any games ''exclusive' coming out for 360 so therefore il give my 360 to my cousin."

Right. You own a Xbox 360, but you are so uninterested, your going to give it away... sounds, uhm, a little fishy to me.

1. All my friends play it PS3
Odd, but the install base in the USA of Xbox 360 to PS3 is something like 4:1. And, Xbox LIVE has a vastly superior community & friends communciation systems.

2. if there is a MP, then more people be on as PS3 in main fanbase for GTA
Nonsense. GTA has its best sales in the USA. The Xbox 360 has a vastly superior market position in GTA's best market. Uhm, so, wrong.

3. as PS3 main One for GTA i think there will be BIGGER and Better DLC than ''10 min side missions'
There will be no DLC for PS3.

5. and free online lol, past 3 months my XBl has been crap!(not been able to sign in,Problems on COD4, so why shall i pay for it when sony has free online service with my mates who i can have a laugh with)
Total, 100% lie.

So, in short, you're lying is clearly RIDICULOUS. You dont own an Xbox 360.

[Domer25]

live cost basically nothing for a superior service. No if and or but; it is the better service.

[l3w15]

''Xbox LIVE has the superior online experience @ this time.''

Not for me and my 2 mates, i have had trouble with signing in, getting into games, my friends list not showing up ?

since december PSN has had more better stuff on The store, cod4 is bad on Both systems but you said waiting for ps3 exclusives ?

uncharted = possible best game i have ever played, beat any 360 game (dont give me the sales crap)

Haze
MGS
HS

Evan Army of 2 is out before the 360 version ?

FROM Rockstar there is PS3 exclusives, I cant remember the names but La Noire ?? im not sure is that is it?

Thers 3 more but i cant remember emm also i dont think sony has released the details on all of rockstar future exclusives games.

in my eyes, ps3 Looks to be the better console, and with home, and all theese updates planned with cards, voice tagging, XMb, Store change. that is living not rining up a hopeless microsoft helpline pressing buttons trying to get thought to an actual person trying to sort my problems. but you cant get the 360 online WIRELESS UNLESS YOU BUY Equipment? more money spent for ONLINE not just paying for XBL BUT the Stupud things what come with it where as PS3 i just search for my router, and within 1 min there we go we have a free network and were off to play uncharted, not cod4 on 360 TRYING to Get online with the dam thing. ( and for the ps3 aswell, damn cod4 )

[i Shank u]

here ya go dude have a kleenex......everything's gonna be A-o.k. *pats back*

[GurlPlease]

Your responses are giving me too much child. l3w15, im bout to break down your response and show you're giving me "dumb fanboy" vibes....

You said: "i saw a user post that lag in febuary n january for XBL has been terrible on COD4, so i have been playing my ps3"

My reply: Gurl, did you even play the game yourself?? Child, do you even have xbox live???

You said: "my XBL membership runs out soon i anit renewin it as i dont see any games ''exclusive' coming out for 360"

My reply: Gurl, are you dumb? Did I just hear you correctly?? puff -->

You said:"
2. if there is a MP, then more people be on as PS3 in main fanbase for GTA
3. as PS3 main One for GTA i think there will be BIGGER and Better DLC than ''10 min side missions' "

My reply: Girl gag!! $50 mil for DLC will not = 10 min side mission. Punk down!!!

You said:
"5. and free online lol, past 3 months my XBl has been crap!(not been able to sign in,Problems on COD4, so why shall i pay for it when sony has free online service with my mates who i can have a laugh with)"

My reply: This is another example of why I question if you have xbox live or not. Xbox live been up since 2002 buddy, December and January and were the ONLY times xboxlive was acting up. Good luck finding games where the whole room has mics lol.

you said: "anyways i though after GTA4, rockstar exclusive to SONY ? hmm ?"

My reply: gurl, and then you woke up!! Gurl chop!

[wow4u]

"uncharted = possible best game i have ever played, beat any 360 game (dont give me the sales crap)"

You should buy an Xbox 360. Uncharted has 88/100 on Metacritic. There are 5 Xbox 360 exclusives with a better score. 88 is THE BEST PS3 exclusive score.

So, while **YOU** might "think its the best", you're either A) have not played the games that are superior or B) lying because you just want to support your favorite brand. I'd vote A & B.

HS - Really? 79/100 average on MC. Thats the best you have to offer?

MGS4? I'll take GeoW2 - Thanks.
Haze? Give me a break.

What, are you going to tell me all about how great Home is next?

[JackBauerIsHIGH]

You can count me as one of those who owns both a PS3 and a 360 and is getting the PS3 version. I don't feel like giving Microsoft any more of my money for a few more missions or episodic content. My reasons are controller preference and just the fact that i've played GTA on PS ever since it has been around. 360 is not a bad system (hardware issues aside), but the thought of playing GTA4 on anything other than a PS3 isn't right for me.

[STICKzophrenic]

I haven't really bought too much DLC. I got the Gears maps, and then rarely played on them. I got the Halo 3 maps, and have played on them a little more than Gears.

I only have a 360, so I'll be getting GTAIV for it. I plan on getting a PS3 sometime this year, and when I do, I'll get multiplat games for whichever console on which it's reviewed better, or whichever console has the better demo.

[dragonJP]

...than multiplayer maps, like for Gears and Halo 3. This DLC cost MS hella money, and for all that cash, you can bet that it will be more than just MP maps. The phrase "episodic content" is key here. I'm thinking more 'expansion pack' a la Elder Scrolls Oblivion than just MP maps and side missions. If MS/R* get this DLC right, it could be huge for the 360 and Xbox Live as well....

[t-0_ot-]

They are.. Isn't it obvious?

[kunark]

im getting gta4 for the ps3 ive always been a gta fan its always been good on the ps and this fud about dlc on 360 only. you can keep it. it wont come out for like 6months to a year. by then yall will be so hyped about the newer games, not sure whats comming out at that time but gta4 dlc will be over looked not to count how much will ms charge for it how much is some one willing to pay, for a few xtra things in a game thats 6months to a yr old?

[heavyarms]

The xbox360 version. Only mgs4 for the ps3 and maybe one other game but thats it. too many games. I would have bought this for the ps3 but because i just want the extra stuff, i'm going to get it for the 360.

[Xbox is the BEST]

Best GTA4 version only on Xbox 360. Alot of gamers will be Jumping In

[themyk]

just wanted to let that be known. the DLC is pretty cool. i well admit. and i'm sure it well give you a reason to throw the game back in your system 6 months to a year down the road. not that i plan on running out and buying a 360. but it is pretty cool.

[themyk]

i go to boarders every month and pay 9.99 for that and 9.99 for PSW. both of those mags are better than any game mag printed in the US.

bubbles to those two mags for not being douches.

[Jones Miller]

People can buy it on either system it´s a free country! I´m just offended with people saying that downloadable content will be a pile of junk! Why is that? The main reason has to be, that they don´t own an Xbox 360. Why else would anyone bash the episodic content? The funny thing is that they really don´t bash Microsoft but Rockstar. The very studio that delivers on the promise of a next-gen GTA. Did anyone say stupid?

[Citizen Cook]

PS3rd owners. You KNOW that ALL Multiformat releases play better on 360. That includes GTA! PLAYBehind PS3rd fanboys!

HA HA HA HA!

You can expect the same connecting issues and other live problems that we had last christmas.
Im buying the game for ps3 so i dont have to worry about that anymore.

[GurlPlease]

^ another sony fan who dont have xbox live^

You expect the samething to happen this chrismas??? Based on??? Gurl, DIE!!! You,Fanboys/punks are really reaching for excuses huh.

If YOU expect xbox live to have problem this chrismas...how you figure PSN will be any better this year? Metal Gear 4 is online and thats the only reason anyone bought the system *including myself*. So PSN just has to crash *sarcasm*

...seems fishy at best to me. They admitted the Christmas problems and swiftly dealt with it, move on. I have been flying through Call of Duty 4 for the last month and a half WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS AT ALL, so I don't see how GTA will be a problem for Xbox Live. You would have to think that whatever the issues were at Christmas, MS has assigned more people and resources to make sure it doesn't happen when GTAIV hits? The 360 has a lot riding on GTAIV having a smooth blockbuster release....

and I quote:

"for the downloadable content in general, it's about seeing how people get turned on by the game, and then we will tailor the production."

Isnt the first batch of DLC due in August?

[Z501]

fry!

Yes.

[moujahed]

I've owned a 360, It didnt appeal to me. So I will be getting this for the PS3. Especially since Im a PS1, and PS2 owner... i've gotten use to the controller and hate 360's.

[THAMMER1]

We all know the content will be first class. Stop the hate PS3 loyalists. All the slated and hateful comments are uncalled for.

Lets go GTA4 360 FTW!!!

i think MS didn't pay 50 mil for an exclusive dlc, its more like 5 mil. they rumored it so that people will be intrigue and buy there version of the game. other devs can make games with less than 50 mil budget and the quality is better than GTA..

[dragonJP]

...but those games didn't have the impact financially and on gaming history that Grand Theft Auto has, and MS knew that full well when they paid whatever price for GTAIV. Don't think that gamers who are strictly Sony fans wouldn't be crowing all over the Net right now if GTAIV was a PS3 exclusive. This game is as major as major gets, and MS was willing to pay whatever it would cost to get it, and only Rockstar's loyalty to Sony kept this game from being the most expensive Xbox 360 exclusive EVER. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if MS paid R* well over 5 mil for exclusive DLC....

This is coming to my Xbox 360.

Funk the Loyalty BS, I want the game that will provide the better "experience" Replay value.

I remember I got Vice city for PS2 and the Xbox. The visuals were much upgraded on the Xbox and the controller was not an issue like it is with fighting games.

We cry about "Extra Content" and games not having much Replay value but now you have that with the 360 version. No complaints, besides the Fanboy Loyalty BS and others things I'm sure.

The Xbox 360 has WON the GTAIV battle

[whoelse]

Lol is that it! 2 random missions. If true, that's poor and nothing to get hyped about!

[GurlPlease]

Please do us all a favor...

[Jones Miller]

We´re not talking Microsoft or Sony here...we´re talking Rockstar! Of course it´s gonna be rubbish, ´cause Rockstar is gonna funk up the next-gen GTA *sarcasm*

[whoelse]

Well its not exactly "Vice City or San Andreas size".

[Doctor Phil]

Just can't let it go FanBots ROFLMAO!!!! This is funny reading....

[jollygoodchap8]

I really hope the DLC stuff lives up to its hype and doesn't end up like the "Highly Anticipated" Bringing Down the Sky DLC for Mass Effect. That was nothing to get hyped up about.

20-40 minutes of play and the 400 points of DLC was over, I felt so ripped off.
