According to Rockstar Games spokesman Hosi Simon there won't be any consolation prizes for those who choose to buy the PlayStation 3 edition instead of the Xbox360 one. When asked during a preview of the game whether there would be any advantage to owning the PS3 version that could rival the 360's exclusives, Simon said, "not that I can think of."
"They're identical games," Simon continued. "We're not hardware makers, and we're not like a pawn between these companies, we try not to be as much as we can. We make great games for people to enjoy on whichever system they want.
"But I guess if you want the complete experience with the episodes, then yeah, you should buy the 360, I suppose," Simon said. It's no secret that the long-ago announced downloadable episodes for Grand Theft Auto IV will be exclusive to the Xbox 360 version of the game.
