Did TRU let it slip that GTA: Episodes from Liberty City is coming to the PS3?

I think what everyone's forgetting here is the $50 million Microsoft paid for it to be exclusive for a set period of time. Unless Rockstar wants to pay it all back, I doubt this is happening.

The best you can get out of these publishers is a timed exclusivity deal.  If you want something permanent, you're gonna have to bargain for IP owernship.  Hell, Ninja Gaiden II was published by Microsoft, and it still went multiplat after a year.

Microsoft gave Rockstar a $50 million dollar loan. Unless Rockstar wants to pay that back I highly doubt that it will ever be ported

You just repeated what thekitchensink said.  >_>

And like I said, the best deal (you know a deal, involving money, like $50 million dollars) Microsoft or anybody else can hope for is a TIMED exclusivity contract, unless they obtain ownership of the IP.  If they don't own the IP, anything can happen once the contract expires.
