Wow, I'm a third-year law student and I never knew that.
By the way, this thread is hilarious, leo-j teaching contracts!
I'm not going to speculate one way or the other because I don't know the details (plus I hated contracts), but my guess would be that this is highly unlikely.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
If getting free from contracts were that easy...

Why would the PS3 version take longer f the main issue is storage space? Why would it be illegal for Take 2 to move the PS3 release date forward if they have negotiated their way out of the deal they had with MS? |
"Why would the PS3 version take longer f the main issue is storage space?"
The main issue is that the game is incomplete. There will be 3 main components to development:
- 360 engine
- PS3 engine
- game engine/game
I'm pretty sure the PS3 engine (its an inhouse development remember) would be lagging the 360 one. At least in terms of optimisation, simply because its a much more complex beast.
And the game itself is not ready. They need more time - its not a technical issue relating to storage space.
"Why would it be illegal for Take 2 to move the PS3 release date forward if they have negotiated their way out of the deal they had with MS?"
Take 2 is a public company - with shareholders. They have publically stated (to shareholders) that GTA has been moved to next year. This results in people buying/selling huge amounts of shares.
To reneg on this now would result in a class lawsuit - and would borderline be illegal. The last thing T2 need now is MORE lawsuit fun. They are trying to clean their image remember.
This is the main issue - separate from whatever deals they have with Sony/MS.
...
There is unlikely (as in Sony releasing a $399 PS3), and then their is this rumour - impossible. Its about as likely as GT5 being released exclusively for the Wii this Xmas - and Sony publishing it.
