Has anyone seen an actual Rockstar GTA4 ad on TV or just the crappy Gamestop one?
I didn't realize it was possible to make GTA look un-cool, but Gamestop found a way.

Does the PS logo jump right out at anyone else?

The PS logo was what caught my eye when looking at these posters. It is so big and due to it being a white square, it contrasts with the black background.

Further the PS symbol is icon and familiar to me, the green x is not so much. I have seen other companies use x's in there logos.

PS3: 14 titles 28.6 mil total avg ~2 mil per title

I think there's a good chance we'll be seeing exclusive xbox360 advertising for GT4 in the U.S.

Highly unlikely, in fact, its impossible. GT4 is PS3 exclusive

j/k j/k

But seriously, they’d want to maximize their sales and to do that they’d be advertising for both the PS3 and X360 versions and not just focus on any one console.

DLC will be used at Xmas :

Bundle arcade + GTA4 FINAL (game + 2 add-on) for 199$ ...

nice offer

It will be too late by Xmas. To distinguish it from the PS3 version MS should advertise DC now regardless of when it's released.

==> because u assume the "15M GTA fans" will buy GTA4 right now the 29th april ???

many will wait until the usual time to buy a console : Xmas (thx daddy)

so, I believe, MS could RErelease their game for xmas including the DLC in a new package "game of the year edition" or maybe a bundle with the arcade (to sell to people who lack of money)

Time to Work !

I don't think people should expect Microsoft to advertise their DLC exclusivity because they probably can't!

Has anyone seen an advertisement for a multi platform game which only mentions it's on one console?
