The full transcript is a financial report for Take Two, so it's long and painful to read fully. However, you can see the information is clearly there by reading the full thing (if you have time):

You can also just search for the term "episodic" to find the text quickly in that page. This gives us several bits of information:

1) The added content for the 360 is almost certainly genuinely exclusive -- not "exclusive for a while," or "exclusive but the PS3 gets its own content" or "exclusive to online because the PS3 gets the content on the BR disc." It's flat out, totally exclusive to the 360, with no corrolary for the PS3.

2) Microsoft is spending big time. I have strong doubts they could possibly make money on this deal, but I suspect that isn't their goal anyway.
