Honestly, you sound like you are from Sony Defense Force.

A. I'll take the DLC over split screen every time. Opinion.

B. You don't own a 360, so THAT'S what convinced you to get the PS3 version, not the "poor quality of 360 hardware alone" Perhaps the reason he has a PS3 is because of the "poor quality of 360 hardware."

C. Less than 1% of the TV's in North American homes display 1080p so few of us really care. Source? I don't think that this is totally wrong, but I'd like some facts to back it up, please.

D. Sixaxis controls suck. Opinion.

I have both consoles and will buy the 360 version for DLC/Achievements/online with friends via Live, and it's not even a question. Might I regret it if the DLC sucks or the frame rate is truly really bad? Sure. ButI doubt that it's the case. All the preview builds and screenshots and stuff have been shown on 360 and people said it's strong.

 

Both versions will be fun, and beyond that it's just preference. But don't be a blind fanboy and give MS its due for having the foresight to carve a piece of the GTA pie out for themelves. If this rumor is true, then perhaps Sony did the same. You can love Sony all you want, but it doesn't make them perfect. It doesn't make MS perfect either.

 

@ fanboys in this thread:

Really, people who want it should just buy the game and be happy about it. Whether its on the PS3 or the 360, why should you care, so long as you enjoy it?

I'm not a fanboy.  You can read all my old posts if you think that.  And your nice comments in blue are reading things into what I said that aren't there.  I clearly say it's my opinion that DLC is more important.  Noweher do I say MS is better or perfect - just props for getting a piece of GTA when it used to be a Sony stronghold.  And I pointed out that he doesn't own a 360 because he said the reason he is CHOOSING to get PS3 version is because of crappy hardware.  Even if he did have 2 previous ones, he's not CHOOSING to buy PS3 version if he doesn't have a working 360.  It's his only choice short of buying a new console.

 I'm not a MS fanboy, other than Halo.  I do prefer it over my PS3 at the moment, but I like them both fine.  In fact I despise MS in most areas - I'm a huge Apple/Unix/Firefox, non-windows, non-IE,non-Office campaigner.  It IS possible to present an opinion about a console based on the facts of the particular situation without being a fanboy.
