GTA IV : Rockstar rep says "complete experience" only on 360

[DoesWhatNintenDont]

Rath,
As far as I understand, the content is being released afterwards too.

Again the stark difference for me it this, the developer themselves has stated that for the "complete experience" of the game, one needs this content.

So while it does have similar characteristics with expansion packs, the main problem I see is the entire game is being developed with the content in mind for the full scope of the experience. It's not an expansion pack that is going to be added months down the line simply because the people demanded it, like some pushed sequel for a movie.

So basically the full game is going to be devleoped, and PS3 and 360 will get 90% of the game at launch, then later down the line 360 gets the other 10%. An expansion pack by definition would be adding to the entire original game thus we wouldn't simply be adding content to get 100% rather the content would make it 130%, 150%, and so on.
