It's good news that Rockstar isn't going to release exclusive content for Grand Theft Auto IV only to Microsoft. The Playstation 3 is getting it too! What is, however, a bit lame, is that the Grand Theft Auto IV completist might have to buy both consoles and both copies of the game to get all the content.

Eurogamer reports:

In case you missed it, Microsoft revealed at X06 that Xbox 360 owners will get "exclusive access to two downloadable, epic episodes of GTA IV via Xbox Live, each with hours of entirely new gameplay and available only on Xbox 360 just months after the release of the title". Advertisement

We're told to expect much the same deal on PS3, except unique to the platform. Interestingly, the downloadable content, our source maintains, will take the form of brand new areas which will link into the main GTAIV game world.

"Think of the world as a large island - the new downloadable areas will be like smaller islands linking into it," the source explained.

Eurogamer reminds us all of the fluidity of the term "exclusive" in this generation and that we will probably see all content on both platforms eventually. But doomsaying's what we do best. Florian Eckhardt
