I'm sure they are using that to get more people to their site. There have been NO CONFIRMATION from Rockstar Games or Sony on this. So I wouldn't get you hopes us. People need to remember that Microsoft PAID for this extra content (1). You think Rockstar games would create it for the PS3 for FREE. Especially since it a lot harder to make on the PS3 (2). If i remember correct, after "The Lost" episode was released Rockstar Games said they had no developers working on a PS3 version (3). This is officially vaporware until Rockstar Games or Sony makes an official announcement. A few clarifications.1.) MS didn't exactly *pay* for the GTA episodes. They loaned Rockstar money (which was to be paid back). In return, Rockstar was to make 360 exclusive content. No details have ever been revealed about a timeframe in there. How many exclusive deals has MS made this gen that turned out to really only be exclusive for 6 months or something like that?
2.) Come on, the only people who make a big deal about the PS3 being hard to program for are Itagaki and Gabe Newell.
3.) That's pretty standard on timed-exclusive deals. They pretty much HAVE to deny any plans to make a port, even if they were working on both at the same time the whole time. Take Bioshock, for instance. "Any plan for a PS3 version?" "No, we have no plans for a PS3 version" "What about this snippet of data on the disc which indicates a PS3 version" "We don't know anything about that" Cue 6 months or whatever later. "Bioshock is coming to PS3. We've pretty much been working on it this whole time."
Now none of that stuff means GTA episodes on PS3 is confirmed, but the linked article above took the odds from about 70% (which is where I placed it when the episodes were first anounced for 360) to about 95%.
