Basically, (for those who don't want to read) Microsoft signed an agreement with Rockstar that forbids them to release GTA on the PS3 before it releases on the 360. MS is having trouble with fitting the game on 1 disc (of course...), and they don't want to make it multiple discs because it would "cause others to favor the PS3" (close enough quote...). IMO, the PS3 should be favored, because it is not holding back the game, and the media ALL FITS on a single disc. It has been delayed to at least March '08, instead of this October, because MS is trying to develop something to "compress" the data so that it will fit on a DVD9. But that will alienate all of the people who bought the Core, wont it? Too Bad, So Sad. With all of the recent problems that the 360 has (and has caused...), I'm beginning to hate MS. So, it sucks for us Sony people that (While the game will still be ready for the PS3 in October, 2007) the game will be released in 2008, all because of the fact that MS figured that "Blu-Ray isn't needed, HD-DVDs aren't needed, etc.

The 360 version of GTA:IV features bonus episodic content.

Deathvein
I'm not sure if the bonus content is accessed via Xbox Live.
KMA

UK Rebellion, a gaming blog site with a whopping 6 posts has got to have accurate information right?

Find better sources

Edit: Also to mention this is a PS3 biased source. Jesus christ, could you find less accurate information?

Nope. Rockstar have announced that they're creating an exclusive franchise for the PS3.

Nope. Rockstar have announced that they're creating an exclusive franchise for the PS3.

I've found out that this 'franchise' is L.A. Noire, which is basically GTA in the 1940's. Rumors are that there's a second unannounced franchise coming to the PS3 as well, but I'm not sure if this has been confirmed by Rockstar.

I'm not that bothered either. Wouldn't say I'm glad though.

By the way, Rock Band will be priced at around £100.
Meliv
If you buy all the peripherals. I already have a GHII guitar so I'm sorted
Deathvein
Games like that don't really interest me. If I wanted it, I'd consider getting all the 'instruments' though.
Meliv
Complete waste of money buying all of them
Deathvein
Well I do play drums, and I enjoy the occasional guitar sesh.

Bad move on your part. You've just turned half the forum against you.
Matt2k
Cause of his opinion on a console? oh no no, half the forum hated him anyway.
