Except, if you read, these are for new DLC, AND it's a rumor, unless you want to take an analyst's word as gospel.

I would hope they'd focus on GTA V and the Agent  rather than more DLC for a year old game.



The DLC was the smartest move MS could have done.

  1. it was a loan --> MS has a pile of cash, around 20 billion so 50 million won't hurt them at all and it is cash they will get back anyway
  2. The Lost and damned was downloaded more than 1 million times --> more than 20 million USD revenue on Xbox Live and the 2nd DLC is still coming
  3. They showed the world that they got the "superior" (I know...) version of GTA IV and advertised this well. GTA was heavily associated with Playstation, now everybody knows that this is one the 360 as well.
  4. This was an important step for digital distribution and a big plus for Xbox Live

Sony would have done the same, but they don't have this pile of cash.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

That would be sweet...

I mean, seeing as M$ paid idk aout $20 million for EXCLUSIVE DLC it's odd that later on it comes to the PS3.

I stopped playing GTA 4 in the middle of the story, so I really don't care.

You are grossly exagerating it's importance. The average consumer probably had no idea it had DLC when they bought it, I never saw it advertised anywhere before the game was released, only talked about on game forums. And I don't really see how it did anything special for DD...

If it was a 50m dollar loan, Rockstar lost money on this DLC, seeing as how they would have to pay back Microsoft. If Microsoft covered the cost of development, then they lost some money.

Where does it say that it will release the Microsoft exclusive dlc?(forgive me i am going on 2 hours of sleep)

They may just release more dlc for the ps3 and the 360.

And i believe that the 50 million was a loan


Why would the accept a loan to make it exclusive when they could release it on both platforms getting more money?



Yeah people still play GTA 4... that's an ignorant statement... over 200,000 new PS360 were bought every week this year... there are new owners in those numbers who will buy it... and the content is of exceptional quality



If this came out now I would have gotten it but since its coming out so late im not sure.
