That is such a common error among 360 fans. Microsoft didn't give Take Two 50mil for exclusive content, they loaned Take Two 50mil for exclusive content. That was done with MS/Take Two's expectation that the downloadable content will make more profit then 50mil, if however it does not, then Take Two have to pay Microsoft back for the balance. Basically, Microsoft only advanced Take Two money that they would already get anyway for the extra downloadable content, so Microsoft are not losing any money at all.
And if anyone thinks that Microsoft are going to throw big dollars at Konami for a year later port you are in dreamland. Microsoft will never get their money back in sales. MGS4 will do it's damage in 08, fall 09 is useless, MGS4 will be old news come that time. Especially since Sony have already announced that they will be bundling MGS4 with PS3's.

Heh, nice info about the Take Two payment. If they sell 5 million copies of $10 add-on content, the payment is done.
Konami also has a deal with Sony to produce the MGS movie, so there is likely at least a gentleman's agreement there.
If you want to play MGS4, just get a PS3. It's also a great blu-ray player and that format is looking good, heh.
