There's no confirmation anywhere that the downloadable content is exclusive to the 360. We will just have to wait until R* decide to share some info with us. To PJ, Henning didn’t write this I did.

One GTA was more than enough and they are all basically the same game. When will it end? One GTA was more than enough and they are all basically the same game.

GTA4 will b exclusive to X360 for a little bit. I thought the game was suppose to come out this year. If not till next year then their goes my high right there. I wish MS could get that bitch ass Square-Enix to do more. That company should just outright sell themselves to Sony. I was peeping what X360 got coming later this year and they coming out the woodworks! I have never seen MS pulling moves like this. Could there b an upset this generation? I’m hearing the same thing.

I don't see mention of that on IGN or Rockstar's site. Where did you hear about exclusive 360 content? I don’t see mention of that on IGN or Rockstar’s site.

I wonder if there is a problem or limitation that prevents dual layer use.

I for one had NONE episodic downloads for GTA 1-SA... Neither was any GTA title Sony exclusive (all got converted to SEVERAL systems)... Ok, not the first release were other systems, but NO exclusivity here anywhere! I am rather concerned bout the dvd vs. bdrom problem a dual release WILL have! I mean, GTA SA took full advantage of a DVD5 (4.35gb) and the max of a DVD9 (in 360) is 8.5GB... I think the PS3 version WILL suffer from it a LOT! Where should Sony have lost ANY exclusivity here?

Sony lost a big exlusive here and now they are actually behind thanks to the 360's exclusive content...

I was expecting that date, but still. Too bad the GTA dev's won't get their wish. From an interview with Dan Houser in 2004: "The danger is currently the storage medium (DVD), and one we thing we’re all praying for in the next round of hardware is that they don’t just go, ‘It’s DVD again’."
