If you own both consoles what is the reason you should get GTA4 for the PS3?

Since Xbox 360 has all the DLC coming out for it.

Please note that being a sony fan boy is not a reason most reasonable people will consider valid and if you only own a PS3 then getting GTA4 for PS3 is completely justifiable. But people who get PS3s and list GTA4 as a reason for getting one confuse me. I got mine for MGS4 and FF XXIII.

If you have what you consider is a good reason then by all means elaborate.

The only reason people give me is actually a pretty good one. They like the controller better for GTA.

Personally? I hated it. But then again my hands are 10 inches from pinky to thumb, the Duke fit me perfectly.

Even though I believe this question is more suited for System Wars forums, If I had X360 as well I'd look at the version that has more for its money worth value.

As of right now, there isn't any additional content for X360 confirmed by Rockstar that I'm aware of and both systems seems to be equal.

I highly doubt that Rockstar will do such thing, especially since they will gain good reputation and tons of profit if the make both systems identical to each other.

Time will tell, I'm only hopping for well done PS3 version since that's the only system one I posses. ^_^

because ive gone years before with no dlc, and i dont want to waste money on something i dont really need, so i dont get the 360 one i wont be tempted to buy it, so thats why im getting the ps3 one and not the 360 one. plus by the time the dlc even comes out, other, and better games will have come out.

You might as well get it for the 360 for the achievements and the DLC. Thats what i'm doing. However i think about the ps3 version because if i get the red ring i cant play it. So buy it for the 360 and then rent it for the ps3 while your 360 is getting fixed for free.

Simple, when you go to the store, buy the first one you pick up.

Either way, I don't care:D

I'm sorry but what you said is inaccurate, the excluse DLC for the 360 has already been confirmed. It's suppose to be huge, with a huge price tag to match. 30 dollars approximately but apprently 50% more game. Please check your facts before posting something likethat

i hate the xbox controller for GTA is jus feels messed up. the 360 pad is even worse imo.

plus the next GTA games are gonna be on PS3 so then i would have them all on the same console.

and that guy who said crap about 50% more game... um link much?

thats ridiculous,

I know the PS3 can handle some hardcore playtime without braking a sweet ... or the system.

I also like the controller better.

Expect the PS3 version to have it's own DLC as well. They mentioned long ago it will. They just have to keep it tight lipped, for the exclusive rights of 360's prepaid DLC.

DLC has been confirmed for the 360. It is said to be along the lines of vice city or san andrease... i.e. 15-20 more hours of gameplay. Microsoft paid 50 million for this.

Do you have a real link? Like, "people on the development team said", or "the game's main developer said" ?

San Andreas and Vice City were both better on the PS3. Im guessing the real game on the disc is better on the PS3.

That's more "Microsoft said"...if the DLC really is as big as SA, they'll charge like $60 for it.

lol, idk what they're thinking, but if the DLC was going to be that big it would have to be horribly compressed, or eat up half your HDD.

and thats not a confirm as the size of the DLC at all. imo at the most it'll be like oblivion and make an new island availible. but nothing to the scale Objectivetruth is claiming.

Next time take it to System Wars if you are going to compare consoles.
