Has the thought ever occured that maybe someone wants to play without the fear of their console dying? or free online?

Or maybe not everyone cares about DLC that you have to pay for, which adds a few hours to an already 100+ hour experience.

True, and despite what some people might say, alot of the long time casual gamers will be getting it for the PS3 because theyve always played GTA on a Sony Platform.

if u have a ps3 and don't have a 360, your not gonna go buy a 360 just for the extra stuff GTA4 has, ppl stop confusing your self! 360 version will obviously sell better because it has a bigger user base and it has a DLC but PS3 version will sell great as well cause not all the ppl that own ps3 own 360 as well, also the PS3 Version of GTA will out sell the 360 Version of GTA in japan because of the fact that PS3 has alot more userbase in japan than 360 does. now everyone enjoy life :D

I'm not denying that GTA 4 will be great on both platforms. Just saying the 360 version'll be better.

I think you're exagerating quite a bit there. If DLC and the like made on version "far superior" to another then TES4 on 360 and PS3 would have scored a 2.

BETTER CONTROLER?RUMBLE? WARMER COLORS?

1. Xbox 360 controller is way better. Better Trigers + Analog Sticks. FAIL
2.Rumble? Only the new controller's have it. Sorry :). FAIL.

3. WARMER COLORS? Since when is this a factor? FAIL. LOL

Xbox 360 for the Win , Always!

:lol: No.

I don't worry about getting RROD in the least. Second, that "better controller" is opinion. The Xbox 360 version has achievements and DLC which pummel the PS3 version. Resisting the truth is futile.

Your damage control makes me a sad panda, you're getting it for PS3 because it's the conly console you own, I'll respect your opinion until you get a 360 and you stop being biased.

You know, I was thinking kinda the same thing. I was wondering how many people that own both a 360 and a PS3 are getting it for PS3, just out of fear of buying it for their 360, just to have the system go out. I know i would be scared of wasting my money like that.

It's not like PS3's are 100% immune to breaking down. Even if you do get a RROD, you can get one back for free because of the warranty.

Actually, I think it is the minority that actually care. I work at gamestop and I rarely hear people who stop and talk about the game even bring up the DLC. This can indicate a few things, they either have no idea about it, they don't care about it, or they they've already decided to get it. After seeing the advertising on the 360 DLC, I can probably safely assume that most have not already decided to get the DLC and the first two reasons are most likely.

Sorry, but the three year warranty isn't good enough for me. I should have to worry about having to sjip my console anywhere. That's just unacceptable to me. True the PS3 aren't 100% immune, but they sure as hell aren't in the same state the 360 is in. There is a HUGE difference there and you know it.

Hardcore GTA fans will probably get the 360 fans, and if not, it probably won't matter. Of course, theres also the idea of wanting to keep the franchise on the same console, which I think is a lame idea.

The only way it doesn't count is if you're trying to justify buying the inferior version of GTA 4. Which is the PS3 version.

May aswell be scared of buying a PC since it can get a virus, or scared of buying a house, maybe a tornado or an earthquake will destroy it... seriously, **** happens, if you're scared of buying a game for your 360, or buying a 360, may want to be scared of buying everything you buy, seriously, **** happens at times, big whoop.

It doesn't count because you have to pay for it. Get over it already. They are the same game. So no it doesn't count. Hell the DLC won't even be available when the game releases. You fail. Trying to twist it into a PS3 defense thing isn't going to work.

Isn't your job to TELL them about the DLC then? I own both consoles, and it is a no brainer that the obvious version to buy is the 360. Infact, that may even be the last game I ever buy for my 360.

Why is everyone getting ther nickers in a twist because of this magical dlc, it won't even be out when the game releasis. So until then shut up and enjoy the game.

I don't view the two games the same, even if at first they are nearly identical. One will have the option to expand it's content if the user wishes, the other will not. It's a difference, one where the Xbox 360 clearly wins. Having the option is better than not having one at all.

Some of the excuses being said in this thread have nothing to do with the actual game and it's content.

No, it isn't my job to tell people to get a game due to the DLC. If they came to reserve the copy of the game, they've already decided to pick up a copy, so why should I care.

NO, and you dont have a 360

I never said I have one, this is for the people who have both but still choose PS3 version. I can buy a 360 if I want, but the extra DLC isnt worth it, and I have interest in only 1 other game on 360 which isnt even out yet and is also coming on PC, so theres no point in buying one.

Oh noes, the cows prefer the PS3 version, go figure.

Get over yourselves not EVERY 360 will RROD. I swear the cows still are the only people that beleive that.

It's either the Ultimate 360 version or the Vanilla PS3 version and why do you conviently forget 360 will have custom soundtracks and rumble support? You cows STILL will have to buy DS3's to enjoy rumble.

Funny thing is, lemmings argue you should get GTA for the 360 and Cows argue you should get it for the PS3. Now whodathunkit!? As far as I can tell, most people here only own one of those consoles.

You know, I was thinking kinda the same thing. I was wondering how many people that own both a 360 and a PS3 are getting it for PS3, just out of fear of buying it for their 360, just to have the system go out. I know i would be scared of wasting my money like that.

May aswell be scared of buying a PC since it can get a virus, or scared of buying a house, maybe a tornado or an earthquake will destroy it... seriously, **** happens, if you're scared of buying a game for your 360, or buying a 360, may want to be scared of buying everything you buy, seriously, **** happens at times, big whoop.

1. You only get viruses on computers if you dont know how to use your computer properly.

2. lol...the chances of a tornado or earth quake are FAAAAAR less then RROD. Plus I live in a city so Tornado is out of the question.

Actually, I think it is the minority that actually care. I work at gamestop and I rarely hear people who stop and talk about the game even bring up the DLC. This can indicate a few things, they either have no idea about it, they don't care about it, or they they've already decided to get it. After seeing the advertising on the 360 DLC, I can probably safely assume that most have not already decided to get the DLC and the first two reasons are most likely.

Isn't your job to TELL them about the DLC then? I own both consoles, and it is a no brainer that the obvious version to buy is the 360. Infact, that may even be the last game I ever buy for my 360.

No, it isn't my job to tell people to get a game due to the DLC. If they came to reserve the copy of the game, they've already decided to pick up a copy, so why should I care.

I know, must of you gamestop employees lie to people just to get them to buy the most expencive product. So of course you'll plug the PS3 version...

I already know GTA IV will be epic. I can't wait. It will be the talked about game. People will talked about all the things you could do in the game. And then there will be seperate talks about the exclusive content. And one thing I know for sure that people will say is "I told you so". It can go either way, "I told you so, the content is awesome!" or "I told you so, the content wasn't worth it". Can't wait. Some of these people will feel bitterness and owned.

You sir, are a genius. Both games will cost the same.

Has the thought ever occured that maybe someone wants to play without the fear of their console dying? or free online?

Well...I've got a PS3 and a 360, and I'm going to play it without fear of my console dying...And that'll still be on my 360. So far, my 360 has run just fine, and even if it crapped out on me tomorrow, I've still got a warranty from Best Buy, not to mention the 3 year RRoD warranty through MS. Since I've got no concerns about the "safety" of my 360, I'd much rather have the version with the aforementioned DLC. Besides, you have absolutely no idea how good the DLC is, so writing it off doesn't seem particularly wise.

However, for people who don't have a 360, there's no shame in buying the PS3 version; it'll still be a great game for a great system.

Oops sorry misread the post. Anyways, it's still not my job to tell the about the DLC. Most of the time, customers only own one of either two consoles, so it would be a little pointless.

It's not like PS3's are 100% immune to breaking down. Even if you do get a RROD, you can get one back for free because of the warranty.

Sorry, but the three year warranty isn't good enough for me. I should have to worry about having to sjip my console anywhere. That's just unacceptable to me. True the PS3 aren't 100% immune, but they sure as hell aren't in the same state the 360 is in. There is a HUGE difference there and you know it.

I guess you didn't own a PS2 or PS1 either? Or maybe you just have a double standard because you're a Sony fanboy.

I don't view the two games the same, even if at first they are nearly identical. One will have the option to expand it's content if the user wishes, the other will not. It's a difference, one where the Xbox 360 clearly wins. Having the option is better than not having one at all.

Some of the excuses being said in this thread have nothing to do with the actual game and it's content.

Well nobody needs "excuses" for their preferences. What may be legitimate reasons to some people, may not be for you.

And you're a bigger genius, you work at a game store and can't figure out the PS3 is more expensive then the 360. So you'll try to plug the PS3 just because you want the bigger sale...
