The only reason this makes me happy is maybe we can steal some of the PS2 fanboys. I think it's the only reason my cousin didn't want an xbox, he loves GTA and they always come out for PS2 months in advance, maybe this will steer him away from the PS3 and he'll get a 360.

I could care less for GTA (found it kinda boring) but its the kind of game that really moves systems so im VERY glad that MS got it as an exclusive... (if it did...IGN states that it is not an exclusive while gamespot states the oposite).

This is great news!
Although you know, as with the Xbox from PS2, when its released on other formats it'll have extra features... but then, I remember PS2 owners rubbing it in Xbox owners faces that they had the previous ones first.
I had a PC. I just loaded up my MP3's and laughed at all of them.
i wouldnt hold my breath on that. the 360 will have DL content and anything new to come out for PC or ps3 will surely come in DL form atleast.

12:54: I get the official Rockstar Games announcement of Grand Theft Auto IV in my e-mail--it says that the game will be release simultaneously on Xbox 360 and PS3. Moore said it was coming to 360 first. What the...?

Core programming isn't easily changed, though. Surface stuff, like extra content, sure, but it depends no where they go with it.
Got me thinking... do any companies think on using the HD to download engine code onto for their games in order to later patch or add improvements?

At the press confrence MS just announced that GTA 4 will only be on Xbox 360 and will get udates through Xbox Live!!
I dont think thats entirely true because if you go to http://www.rockstarg...randtheftauto4/ it shows it for PS3 as well I think what they meant was that XBOX 360 will get "Exclusive content" via XBOX Live

Finally MS got it right. And its understandable that Rockstar doesnt want to lose a few hundred million just because of an exclusivity deal with MS, and maybe MS doesnt want to pay the same amount to buy them out.
Simultaneous launch is bliss for me. I was shocked to find that GTA3 went exclusive to PS2 after it was supposed to be an xbox1 launch title aswell (only a couple months after the ps2 version), and I was so angry they had to rape a pinnacle game with the lower end system (bad framerates). The xbox1 version was far superior though far too late.
This time I will get my game and I dont have to buy another console for it!

Anyone got any ideas for de-regioning or other solutions?
btw - can't wait for a Live multiplayer GTA!

The new episodes will be available soon after the release of GTA4, which is scheduled for October 16, 2007 in North America and October 19, 2007 across Europe. Pricing is yet to be revealed.
