I have both the xbox360 and ps3, but i can't decide which platform to buy gta4 on. I want to buy it on ps3 because i had the other gta games on the ps2 but i want to buy it on the xbox360 because i like xbl more then the ps3's online service. But may everyone give me the differences on the two versions.

thanks =)

Why would owning previous titles on the PS2 be a reason why you would want to buy the game on the PS3? That wont effect the game at all.

Well if you want exclusive DLC ignore the other replies. If you dont want DLC (can't imaging why) then it doesn't matter.

Very good, and obvious, question. I'd love to hear a response to it.

Is that really necessary?

Back on topic, I own both 360 and PS3 and Im choosing the PS3 version, the gamepad is better, the online on PS3 is gonna be just fine seeing as how this is probably gonna be the highest selling title for PS3, plus doesn't PSN get some sort of exclusive feature like 16 player online as opposed to XBL's 14?

The exclusive content will not come out for a long time so I'll wait and see if it's worth it, I'm also against paying for this content, it really has to be worth it.

Regardless, the game is going to deliver and be more than enough initially.

controls. He'd be more used to the button layout. I always get the games on a certain console (guitar hero-ps2, battlefront- xbox, burnout- xbox/360, ect.) not to mention online sources. if you buy a game on PS2, chances are you'll want the next one on PS3, because you've probably have experience with the online system. He sounds like a casual, considering him having no idea about this debate, so of course he'll want to stick with the system of choice (ps2 for last gen). It's like if you like red apples, but aren't sure if you want to get green apples or red ones. They're both the same tasting, but you're used to the red ones, so why not get those?

360 and I'm actually going to list reasons why unlike alot of people.

1 360 version gets the exclusive DLC that Microsoft paid $50mill for.

2 Reports stating the reason for the delay untill April was because of problems with the PS3 version.

3 This is an opinion piece but I have preffered the controls in previous Xbox GTA releases, using the Triggers for the Gas and Break pedals. But if you didn't like them or never tried them then put this point under PS3 then.

He would be more use to the PS2 controller, but he didnt mention anywhere in his thread that he preferred the PS2 controller over the 360s. Also the PS2s online system was pretty bad, I doubt anyone would buy a game trying to reproduce that experience, and they aren't the same tasting one is getting exclusive content(360) while the other is not(PS3).

Wait a second wait a second

Let's Talk the TRUTH !

If you want more missions and gameplay, well Xbox 360 got 2 exclusive DLCs which have more missions. ONLY and ONLY missions

and if you want graphics

PS3 !

I don't give a bleep to more missions so I choose the PS3 version because of

1- Warmer colors

2- Less jaggies

3- Free online

4- Smoother FPS

First off, since when has the DLC been confirmed to be "only missions"?

Second, when has any of the highlighted text been confirmed (well, besides number 3)?

Could Be Possible

I mean with development costs of Like 10 Million - 40 Million in Making games, 50 Million sounds like it so be more than Able to make some huge game

How ever Considering What Size the Download would be for such a huge game makes me wonder

You're in for a rude awakening buddy, you obviously have not been following this game nearly as closely as I have. The 360 version looks slightly better at the moment, runs slightly smoother, will have very large downloadable missions, achievements, etc.

This crap is pointless this will never end. on burnout paradise what happened people asked PS3 or 360 on devil may cry people asked PS3 or 360 its annoying both or going to be exactly the same and i think it pisses people off that its going to be that way. get over it face the facts it will be exactly the same your on a console it's not like a PC you guys will get the same exact gameplay and version. So toss the **** into the air and pick what ever you want but if you want my openion i like the PS3 controller better then the 360 when it comes to 3rd person games and action adventure type of games. But for frist person i like the 360 controller better every thing else i favor the PS3.

Lems and there DLC, you act like you cant play the ps3 version, but do you realize they will be the same exact product. You also act like the DLC will provide hundreds of hours of gameplay, and without it, you cant play the game. So going off your basis, both versions of the game will be crap until the DLC releases.

Look at Half-Life 2 Episodes 1 and 2. Both of those COMBINED don't even come close to the size of Half-Life 2. Same with Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion. It is a big expansion, but it isn't even remotely close to the size of Oblivion.

I don't know if the Xbox 360 version will look better or not but right now all previews say the PS3 version is superior

and the game is done, they are just fixing glitches. So I think the graphics are not gonna change and yes

PS3

Less jaggies

Warmer and realastic colors

and 2 exclusive DLCs only contain more missions

I see it as this, the content can end up being amazing, or being terrible, I would rather have the game that will be able to play the extra content if it turns out to be amazing, nothing bad will happen to 360 users if the content turns out terrible, but if it is amazing PS3 users will be missing out. With the PS3 you will either be missing out, or being even.

(I doubt 50 mil worth of content is going to turn out bad).

So hold on. The article, which you posted by the way, says the two of them look the same...but you still say the PS3 version looks superior?

Do you even read what you type before you hit "submit"?

Then what was the point of giving a link to something that doesnt even support your own claims? I dont understand what your saying now, earlier it was "all previews say PS3 version is superior", now its only some? Also Rockstar might say that the PS3 version is better if it was, nothing stopped them from saying the 360 version is the "definitive" version.

i cant imagine what idiot would pick the ps3 version over the 360 version if they had BOTH systems.....why would you want to miss out on the expansions? Other than that they are suppossed to be identical....besides xbox360 version having live and achievements.

Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City and San Andreas.

If you at least own any two of those games, buy it on the 360 beyond any shadow of any doubt. Clearly you're a GTA fiend and the 360 version will have the extra content that a GTA fiend would want. Even if you only have 1, if you like GTA and would ever consider getting more versions or expansions, the 360 is the way to go. Only reason to buy it on PS3 is if you don't have a 360.
