Most gamers will not care about the extra gameplay, and most will not buy it. I heard its only 10 hours each which is pretty crap considering its going to be expensive to buy.

Wow. Why is rockstar doing this? Didnt sony give them the ability to make GTA one of the best selling franchises? Dam $$$ was brought into this. Also it could have something to do with the user base, and the ps3 is catching up.

Developing games on the PS3 is still in its infancy. The problem with this is ... the 360 is easier to develop for, so a lot of games are being developed on the 360 first. This is why all the trailers and gameplay shown so far for GTA4 have all been on 360 hardware. Rockstar isn't doing this on purpose, they want their game to sell as good as ever on both platforms.


But wasnt GTA4 being developed for the ps3 fisrt seeing as it was exclusive to the system at some time they were working on the ps3 version or am I wrong?

10 hours each??? Thats a pretty good expansion. A lot of games nowadays only last around 10 hours. I would not mind paying $20 to expand the game another 10.

Dude, $20 for 10 hours is fine with me.  Half Life 2: Episode 1 cost $20...and that was only like 5 hours of play.

$20 for half a tank of gas...$20 for a few trips to Subway...$20 for 10 hours of superb gaming...it seems fair to me.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

No special content for PS3 doesn't surprise me. Rockstar doesn't & shouldn't care. They have a nice deal going with MS --> money = good.

BTW, the link to the "2 week delay" page doesn't work. If the PS3 version does get delayed by 2 weeks - that could be the biggest news of the year (and a huge slap to Sony). But I can't see it happening.

I think you're wrong in that regard. You have to remember, GTA hasn't always been exclusive. One of its iterations (San Andreas) appeared on the original Xbox and the PC. So, since the 360 rushed to market, it's possible Microsoft approached Rockstar and asked them to develop it for the 360, too (with a moneyhat).

Yup. Both MS and Sony love their money hats.

Not sure if you left these out on purpose (because your point was regarding xbox), but just wanted to point out that GTA III and Vice City also came out on PC
