The two console versions of the new GTA game

360 and PS3 owners, I'm really interested to know exactly how many of you plan to buy the 360 version of GTA 4 now that it's official that that version will have exclusive down-loadable content. I know that with this news that PS3 haters will probably be jumping all over the system, if they haven't started already. I'm really curious to know though, exactly how much of a blow this will be to the PS3 if itdoesn't get down-loadable content of it's for the PS3 version of GTA 4. I wouldn't be surprised if some people actually cancelled there pre orders for the PS3 version of the game, and pre orderd the 360 version the minute this news broke. As it stands right now the 360 version looks like the better one. Of course that can change if the PS3 version eventually winds up with downloadable content of it's own, but of course only time will tell.

remember it says DOWNLOADABLE content

they can always just throw it on the disk and say it is not downloadable

There are so many other reasons to get one over the other like rumble, achievements, custom soundtracks, Live and so on. I don't think DLC is such a deciding factor.

Deihmos

yes deihmos, we all know you like your 360 more than ps3

Live ? is there an online mode on GTA4 ?
Achivements, ps3 will have trophies in Home.
Rumble, if we're lucky ps3 will have rumble AND motion sensing
Custom soundtrack, who needs them with the always awesome GTA soundtracks

so with the exception of DLC which like you said is not that big of a deal, there's not realy any difference between the 2 versions.

Exactly.

Dude give me a break, I'm not trying to start anything. I just wanted to see how people felt about this subject.

Yeah come october before GTA4 comes out PS3 will have rumble in the controllers plus the sixaxis Will have trophy's through the HOME network which will work better then achievements and why wont PS3 have custom soundtracks by then? Plus it will look way better then 360 as the publishers already said its to hard to program on the 360, PS3 has way more space. So mgp ahead and PAY for your downloadable content when a few months later I'll get it for free.

Im getting it for PS3, which I already preordered it. and the other reason why I dont like Xbox360 bcuz of download ablecontentsthis and that which they shouldve came with the game in the first place....... the PS3 ones will most likely get its own exclusive stuff anyway, if not what's the bigdeal.

-Currently taking a break from playing too much Resistance.

ill prolly get it on my ps3 because i liek to game more on my ps3. DLC, could care less, like others have said by the time that roles out (what 6 months later?) ill have become bored of the game most likely (seems to happen for every gTA title) and there will be other games to choose from. Besides im not paying 20+ dollars just for a few extra hours of gameplay. And with the way MS charges for these extras, what (10 bucks or sumn for a few extra gears maps) you can count on it being a lot more money than its worth. No thanks...

yes, but will trophies be as fun as earning Achievements ?

and rumble, gta 4 on the ps3 won'tt have it. Btw, now that i think of it, i don't remember rumble in any of the ps gta games O_o, is it just my bad memory ?

considerign rumble isnt used in any innovative or good ways that impacct the game, rumble is a nonfactor in a decision to buy a game. Achievement points are not exactly what i would call fun. I play the game, thats fun, it just so happens that i may earn an achievment along the way.

Someone please tell me why forums are filled with such stupid fanboys??? You people who bash other systems are the real idiots beacuse your the ones who are losing out. I have a 360, PS3, and a Wii so I can experience what all of the systems have to offer. Each system has there own pros and cons but while fanboys are crying and whining about which system is better, real gamers can enjoy the percs of each system. And even if I only had a 360, I would still want a ps3 for its exclusives, and vice-versa. So just shutup already

Money should answer your question. Should they be able to have all 3 consoles, we would have less troubles here. In fact, many even havent used the other consoles they bash yet speak as if they had. They dont understand that each has good and bad things. 360 has a great library and exelent online, yet a crappy hardware rate. PS3 has great hardware, yet a meh online and a crappy library and Wii has a great list of party game yet no online and no intention to appeal to hardcore gamers (which are actually most of us)

Great, I'm glad there are people out there who have the money and time to spend over 1200 bucks on video game consols, not counting games. And while your at it why don't y'all just buy every version of every multi-plat game.

Just because some people have more money than they know what to do with doesn't mean the rest of us do. I bought a ps3 cause I knew that overall it would have the most games on it I want to play (I'm not gonna go into how worthless I find the 360 game library). Just because someone supports the ps3 and that version of the game doesn't make them a fan boy. It's about being a smart consumer, not just an overfunded consumer.

That being the case, I will ov course be getting the ps3 version of the game. None the less, I think that Take Two is shooting itself in the foot with this one. They know the game will be popular, but they take an advance to make some DLC for the 360, shutting out what will likely be at least 1/4 if not as much as 1/2 their user base for the game. And, unless they plan on selling the DLC for more than 20 bucks, they will have to sell it to nearly half the 360 users out their to break even and not have to pay back M$. So, notonly are they putting themselves in a difficult situation as far as their responsibilities to microsoft, they are severely limiting their sales of the DLC. IF it works, great, but if not, I don't want to hear one 360 fan complain if Take Two continues its downward slide and goes bankrupt or something.

And I'm done.

That is exactly what it is. I never have understood why so many people praise to 360 achievements system. It's not like you get a rebate or anything with more points. It's like the points people talk about giving to drivers for hitting stupid pedestrians (not that you actually hit them). They're good for a laugh or the moment, but when it's all said and done, we still have to eat, breath, and live none of which any point system is gonna help a gamer out with.

It does NOTHING. You get nothing from the points, it just gives some people a good feeling to have the most achievements, i could really care less.
