Comments on: GTA IV extra game download details emerge

Most overrated game ever

And it didnt take that long to get bored with it either.

The complete failure of the story after leaving Broker, combined with a lack of things to do and see once you've taken in the shows and watched the TV, add up to a game thats crying out for something extra.

If the expansion is over £15 though, it can piss right off.

PS3 DLC coming too.

I would be pretty embarrassed if I were a 360 owner that got fooled by Microsoft into buying the 360 version, based on the broken DLC promises. Still I suppose it worked for Microsoft so they must be laughing at gamers expense, they managed to get 45% of the sales, compared to the PS3 version (good considering GTA is traditionally a Playstation franchise).

Only on XBox?

Disenfranchising the PC gamer market, eh?

We won't like that at all.

xbox only?

How come? Considering the main reason I bought my PS3 was for a) GTA IV (and then b) Blu Ray), this'd be a bit of a bastard if the new stuff wasn't available for me.

PC/PS3?

I'd assume that this will appear on the PC for free someday (ala Mass Effect).

So when will it hit the PS3 store?

Just curious.

The small matter of $50m from Microsoft to Rockstar, that's why.

but that was said 6 months ago

plenty of time to M$ to throw more fistfulls of money at RockStar to get them to drop plans of PS3 DLC

i suspect what is likely is that the xbox will get the DLC exclusively for a few months and then it'll be available for PS3 and PC

i don't care - as someone who is buying a DS this xmas just to play the GTA game on it, if i have to i'll get a 2nd hand xbox from ebay so i can play the DLC

I am so tired of GTA.....

I would love to see GTA come out first for the pc for once.

I am sick of seeing GTA on store shelves and I am unable to play it.

Erm....

Well it doesnt make mention of what content for one. It wont be the content Microsoft has bought / paid for. Or it wont be downloadable at the same time at least. The PS3 may get its own content separate from the 360 or the dlc could just be a few news cars. Dont count your eggs... and dont count on $ony

MARK IS BORING

@Anonymous Coward (AKA MARK) "PS3 DLC coming too."

"PROBABLY" Its one way of some bloke from Sony frantically making up for the PS3's loss. You're obviously gutted mate!
