360
Downloadable content. triggers for gas and brake. Custom soundtrack for ears. And to a lesser extent, achievements. Though I guess the PS3 could be getting trophies or whatever.

If there ever is a PC version perhaps I'll get that one as well. Mods.

PS3. controles perfect and will play best on PS3 just like with GTA SanAndreas and Vice City on PS2 compared to xboxGarchomPro

They controlled better on Xbox actually. Analog gas and brake with triggers = factually better than pushing a face button.

those who own the 360 should ( if they are not fanboys ) buy it for 360 , for the simple fact that it get exclusive content .

PS3.

So hopefully the downloadble content isn't exclusive, just timed-exclusive, like GTAIII, GTA:VC, GTA:SA, GTA:LCS, GTA:VCS etc.

PS3, I own a 360 as well. So nobody go, "LAWLZ COW". I bought the core 360, where as my PS3 has 5.1 audio and 1080p video, you do the math.... My 360 is hooked up to a small 480i TV with 2.0 audio... Of course, I might buy some components for 1080p, but there's still no 5.1.wemhim

You don't have a receiver? Your 1080p TV doesn't have component input? In case you failed to notice in some bizarre way, the 360 comes with component cables attached to the AV cable that you've plugged into your SDTV?

[QUOTE="winner-ps3"]it only makes sense on a SONY consoleMoldOnHold
GTA3, VC, and San Andreas was just fine on the Xbox. :|

Yeah I don't get that arguement either. "It's always been/I've always played it on Sony consoles!" So what? The 360 version is in this case the obviously preferable alternative.

I don't actually see why, given the choice, you would want to get it for the PS3, if we are assuming the games are going to be identical on both platforms, the only difference is really the extra content (Minor stuff like Achievments [something GTA could use well], Custom Soundtracks, Sixaxis support) . Which means you could get the better GTA experience on a 150 dollar cheaper console.. doesn't make sense.

Obviously if you only owned a PS3 then that would be your choice.

I think that the PS3 version will run smoother and the initial load will be faster than the 360 because of the HDD.AIH_PSP
The main development is on 360 it will not run smoother on PS3. Half multiplat games run half the framerate of the 360 counterparts. Plus if you have a 360 HDD caching is done. Halo 3 was optimized for HDD it says so on the box. On top of that exclusvie content alone is the best reason to get the 360 version.

I own both consoles (PSN ID: LosDaddie) and would never, ever consider buying GTA IV for the PS3.

Reasons why I'm buying the x360 version:

  • Lead Dev Platform - It's the only version shown thus far.
  • DLC - Cows have nothing to counter this. :D
  • Custom Soundtracks
  • Achievements

There's no reason to buy the PS3 version if you own both consoles.

I'm not really a fan of the game but since the 360 is getting exlusive content and usually runs multiplatform games better 95% of the time it seems like a no brainer here.

There is 5.1, just use optical.

XBox360 version for content download, better controller, and a much much greater online community

I don't think the core 360 has optical. Maybe, cool if so. EDIT: Just looked in the back, optical portless.

There is no optical port on the back of any 360, it's on the AV cable. Buy a 360 Component Cable and you should be all set for 1080p/5.1 audio.

user_nat

not every one willing to pay extra money for the extra content. I heard its around 20. 40 for the whole thing and 100 all together including the game. not worth it if you ask me

Why don't you have a 'I'm not getting it' option? I'll play it eventually, but I'll never waste my $$$ on that trash (other than rental fee of course).

I'll be getting the XBox 360 version because of the better controller, downloadable content, better online community and I don't own a PS3.

360.. I'm not buying a PS3 until its software warrents a purchase and chances are that won't be before GTA IV comes out... Besides the 360 is the lead SKU in development and we all know how "hand me down" ports turn out on the PS3..

that's kinda dumb question TC, since unless you own multiple consoles you're just going to buy it for the console you have (unless you only have a wii)

i'm getting it for PS3

I am waiting for reviews + as a PS3 / 360 owner I wanna know EXACTLY what the downloadable 360 content is...... Think about it what if they just add some stupid side missions or some crap that does not pertain to the story at all, or somthing lame like 1 or 2 new cars.... that you have to PAY FOR...... cause the content by no means will be free. I am tired of lame *** MS points rip off. I finally managed to get my point balance back to zero, and I doubt I will be purchasing anything else. MS needs to use Sony's system of using the actual amount of money that the items cost is what you actually get charged.

GTA4 on X360. Episodic content for the win and I will state that it will probably look better on X360 because of more usable RAM and a better GPU. No offense and I am sure my PS3 will be crying over on the shelf but I have to be realistic about my multiplatform game purchases.

360 for the downloadable contentshaggyaz
Funny. I'm getting on PS3 because of that reason. I dont like paying for extra stuff, period. You should not have to do it. I've done it. I dont like it. I want to pay $60, not $65, $70 or possibly more.

Don't be naive, if there is extra GTA4 content for PS3 after release, it will NOT be free.

I want to get a PS3, but I prefer 360's controller by a wide margin, and the downloadable content is enticing.

So you're gonna get the PS3 version because the 360 gets optional DLC? And I guess you don't like expansion packs either then, Mr. Episode Three on my wish list?

You're not particularly sensemaking.
