Yes, I think they are mad. Getting GTA as exclusive would really hurt the compeitor. GTA is the only reason I want a PS3, if M$ had rockstar exclusive then, well PS$ would be nothing more than a cheap blu-ray player for me.

They were givin the optertunity for Grand Theft Auto III exclusivity. As in exclusive years ago for Xbox 1.

If you've ever played parts I or II you'd know the game sucked back then, also Rockstar had only ever released the crappy Midnight Club game on PS2 becides that, I would have turned it down too tongue.gif
