Well for an AVERAGE Consumer GTA IV PS3 could be "more complete" due to FREE ONLINE..

on 360 you would need to get a gold membership for the online mode = $50 + whatever DLC will count

making GTA IV cost over $110

so the CONSUMER needs to decide

PAY over $110 for a COMPLETE experience or pay $60 for Ps3 version & $60 for MGS4 coming a month later

 

Well ...

Let's add it up for a consumer that hasn't made the purchase of either system:

PS3 route:

PS3 - $399

GTA IV - $60

Episodic content - $0 (it's never gonna happen)

Total: $459

 

360 route:

360 - $229 (after price cut)

GTA IV - $60

Episodic content - $0 if you don't have a hard drive

Total: $289

Addition - hard drive - $50 off eBay

Content cost: $20 per episode estimate

Xbox LIVE cost: $0 for silver members who can download everything gold members can 

Total for complete GTA IV experience: $359

 

That's still $100 cheaper for the complete experience. I just don't understand why folks believe Sony, with a much higher price point, will move more consoles AND games because the original was on the PS's. LOL!
