Fans looking to own the "complete" Grand Theft Auto IV experience will also have to own an Xbox 360. So says Rockstar Games spokesman Hosi Simon anyway, in a short interview posted over at Games Radar that has the entire Internet talking.

Upon being asked whether there were any discernible advantages for PS3 owners that could compare to the Xbox 360 downloadable content, Simon replied "not that I can think of."

"They're identical games. We're not hardware makers, and we're not like a pawn between these companies, we try not to be as much as we can. We make great games for people to enjoy on whichever system they want. But I guess if you want the complete experience with the episodes, then yeah, you should buy the 360, I suppose."

doesnt sound convincing at all. If he was sure he would have said:

"But if you want the complete GTAIV experience with the episodes you should buy the 360"

I know I may be reading too much into this, but he sounds like me when I'm talking about something im unsure of.
That is a very obvious rookie mistake for a Spokesperson to make. He should sound decisive and sound like he knows what he is talking about.


 

Yes, but he is a Rockstar spokesman, not a Microsoft spokesman.  He did not make a mistake, he's trying not to be backed into the corner of making it sound like the 360 version is better.  He does not want to deter people from buying the PS3 version, his hesitance was intentional.  I don't think this DLC will be anything too major.   He said the games are identical, not including the extra stuff you have to buy.  Everyone's making this a big deal, this DLC is only gonna be some extra missions that in the long run won't be that much of a deal. 

 He WANTED to sound like that, because he does not want to give the false impression that the 360 version is better in some way, when the only real difference is gonna be a couple of random missions that you can play AFTER you pay, and probably not much more.
