Forums - Sony - TAKE TWO'S AND ROCKSTAR'S BIGGEST MISTAKE!!!!

Soul_tech10 on 31 July 2008

In my opinion Rockstar made te worst decision of thier lives accepting microsofts $50,000,000 for the exclusive DLC.

Why???

1: Microsoft charges developers to put content on XBL, So Rockstar would loose thier money of microsoft on both development and fees for uploading it to XBL.

2: There is a limit in size for all software, exclusice or not of 150 MB, Microsoft recently made an exception with a game and increased it to 300MB.

3: Out of all the people who have GTAIV and XBL, how many of them have a HDD. Not all 360's cme with a HDD pre-installed but ps3's do.

Where do you think the GTA IV DLC should be??

Yes it is a mistake but we have a few exclusive games from Rockstar on the PS3 so its fine (Red Dead Revolver 2, L.A. Noire and another i believe)

Its only a mistake for Sony Fanboys. For Rockstar, it was a great decision because they sold more multiplatform than would have been exclusive.

1. Since MS made the deal then I doubt they would still charge for the uploads. If they did manage to sneak something like that past them then Rockstar deserve whatever losses they may incur for being so hopelessly inept.

2. I've downloaded many demos in excess of 1GB. The limit is for XBLA games.

If GTA IV had been a PS3 exclusive Liberty city would have been much larger, but it had to fit on a DVD.

Hello welcome.

No it wasn't a mistake because.

1. They are a business and their not stupid they like money because they need to pay employees. I'm sure Microsoft is not charging them for a favor they payed for. geeeez

2.That only for xbox arcade games downloads, this is an expansion to a full game.

3. Just about everyone who owns a 360 especially who brought gta has a hard drive. I don't even think you could save the game without one.

4. Residuals
