"Downloadable content will also be made available for both consoles, although Rockstar did stress that owners of Xbox 360s without hard drives would not be forced into purchasing one to play the standard game."

Good news for PS3 owners. Probably fake though.

Yeah ... everyone gets extra content, but only the 360 owners get the extra downloadable episodes. I could care less about hats, extra guns ... give me exra cities!

Those trusted reviews can't be trusted. It's been said a billion times by Rockstar that you won't need the HDD for 360. It will load faster if you have it, that's it. And while it's likely that the PS3 will get some DLC further down the road, the 360 will absolutely get the same ones+more.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

The article says a HDD is not required for the 360 version of the game.

Opps ... my mistake ...

The promised downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV will apparently only be coming to the Xbox 360 version of the game in FY 2008. Could this be because Take Two promised Microsoft exclusive content, or could it point to ongoing issues with Sony's digital distribution system?

 Your right. Sorry I think I am going blind.

Um, it says the HDD would not be required to play the game. It has to be required for downloadable content as it has to be saved somewhere. Where are you getting that you need a HDD to play the game?

After MS paid $50M for the exclusive content, I doubt they will release that content, nor allow R* to create other content for Sony. If R* does, MS needs all of that money back.

 The rant stated you needed an HDD to download the extra content, not play the game.
