| DMeisterJ said: Theoretical Conversation between a 'casual', and a GameStop employee Customer: I'd like to buy Grand Theft Auto IV Employee: For which system? C: Does it matter? E: Well, the 360 version is 'complete'? C: How so? E: It has Exclusive episodic content available to download in the future C: Cool, is it free? E: No, you have to pay for it. C: Does the PS3 version have this EEC? E: No, nothing to download after you buy it. C: So on the 360, I have to pay to play the complete version of the game? E: Yes. C: I want to buy the Arcade [360], since I wanted UNO on the 360, will the downloads fit on the itty-bitty memory card they gave me? E: Most likely not, you'll have to buy one of the XBOX 360 hard drives. C: Those are hideously overpriced, so I can't even play the full version of the game if I buy the Arcade, which is for casual people to buy? E: I wouldn't put it like that, but yeah. C: Okay, I think I'll take the PS3 version then, it just feels like less hassle. I mean, I don't think that that's exactly how the conversation will go, but I do think that this DLC is only going to be important to 'hardcore' gamers. |
More like:
C: I want GTAIV
E: For which system?
C: Which is cheapest?
E: 360 Arcade is the cheapest, but you can't download additional content onto that.
C: Oh... Do I need that?
E: No it's just extra missions and stuff, but you'd need a 360 Pro or Elite which cost more.
C: What about the PS3? Does it have d/l content too?
E: The extra content is only on 360. Otherwise the PS3 and 360 versions are identical. The PS3 costs even more than 360 Pro but it does have a built in Blu-ray player for HD movies.
C: (If he has HDTV) I'll take the PS3. (If not) I'll take the 360 Arcade and get a hd later if I want.
