I hated their choice of gimping the 360 version (even if with minimal content), so I'll boycott this game. Was going to buy it for sure, but now it's a no deal. Too bad for me and for them... but oh well, whatever.


what a stupid reason for missing one of the best games coming out this year, possibly one of the best sandbox games this gen. your not buying the game because of a contsume? the only thing the ps3 has is a costume and a ranch or a cave or a treasure(i have no idea what it is). rockstar broke deals with sony and this one of their sly ways of saying sorry were making it up to you. the important thing is that the game is good and that you have fun playing it.

It may be stupid... but my time and funds are limited and there are other great games that I may use the time and money I was going to spend on Red Dead Redemption. It's not a huge boycott... I'll just trade this great game for another - for example Monster Hunter 3 or Alan Wake.

We don't have to play all the great games they release. Even if I could - and I can't-  I woudn't.

And if they give a reason like Rockstar just gave me, I'll just switch my interest somewhere else. Simple.


So did you boycott GTA IV and all the games that gimped the PS3 version?  You seem to be against the practice of what they are doing, so I'm just wondering if you're against the practice or a hypocrit.

I played GTA4 on the PC, and at the time I didn't even knew they made those things to the PS3 version. But yeah, it's just as bad, even if I'm not as vocal as I am when they do it to the consoles I have.

But I don't believe I bought a more complete 360 game (over the PS3 version), since the only other example I remember seeing is Batman and its exclusive Joker on the PS3. Wasn't intending to buy it anyway, but hated the practice just as much.
