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.

@selnor

if they didn't soar even when their cheaper than the wii in EU I doubt they will soar due to even GTA IV

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.

So at the end of the commercial, it will say "Only on xbox 360" or something like that and only have the 360 version?

Can they do that? Its a multi platform game..

Sorry DMJ but that didn't make any sense... At the end of your post you said the DLC is not important, but somehow it plays a part when it comes to the user not wanting a Arcade 360?

On the other hand, if you were trying to make a stealth joke, you succeeded ;)

C: I'd like GTA on the Wii
E: It doesn't come for the Wii
C: Well then I'll just take a Wii and some shovelware....oh and a copy of Wii Play for the extra controller.

Now THAT's how the conversation will go.
