    "hinting that the Xbox 360-exclusivity surrounding the episode is due to expire"

    I'm still not holding out for the PS3 DLC... don't think it's coming soon. Even if it does come, I probably won't purchase it unless they release the Episodes from Liberty City on Disc. :| I'm not rebuying GTAIV again. Or a GTAIV Complete Edition is released on the PS3. #grandtheftautothelostanddamned

    It's amusing how much it bothers people that the GTA IV DLC may not be entirely 360 exclusive. Exclusive DLC isn't in the best interest of gamers.

    Anyway, hell yes if this turns out to be true. Hopefully GTA IV runs well on my hardware, seeing the time it's had to be patched and the fact that it sells for less than $20. #grandtheftautothelostanddamned

    I'm not a person that has problems with exclusives ... I think it makes good business sense for certain companies at certain junctures.

    However, hopefully, down the line, both episodes will get to the PS3 and PC. #grandtheftautothelostanddamned

    @jayntampa: .... I'm surprised than people still believes that GTAIV's DLCs will be available on PS3. Did you guys were sleeping in a cavern for 2 years or what ? Microsoft bought the GTAIV DLC. They paid 50M$ for them. It's been in the news since then.

    Seeing the DLCs on PC 6 months after their release on 360 was sure to happen since Microsoft also have Windows. You are going to hear about Gay Tony on PC in May next year, mark my word on this.

    However, thinking about a possible release of these DLC on PS3, it is impossible. It is like if the next iPod would run a Windows OS or if New Super Mario Bros was released on PSP.

    @jayntampa: Ok I must admit that my response was a bit aggressive ;)
    Knowing that GTAIV cost around 100M$ to make and that Microsoft paid 50M$ for exclusivity for the first 2 episodic contents on 360 (since some people are saying that 2 more DLCs might be on the way) I think they would need a very good reason to break that contract. I don't think that Microsoft's army or lawyers would have negotiated a deal for a year of exclusivity at this price.

    Anyway, I think that Microsoft didn't really win in the long run with this strategy. GTAIV didn't have the expected reception from gamers and total revenues from the sales for the first DLC didn't cover the 25M$ yet. I don't think that BoGT will be able to beat that nether. And people doesn't look like they bought more XBox with this deal since most of the people around thinks that the 2 DLCs might be coming to PS3 eventually. #grandtheftautothelostanddamned

    GFWL is pretty much a Microsoft platform as well, so the exclusivity isn't really being broken, per se. #grandtheftautothelostanddamned

    @QualityJeverage: I dunno, it says "Only on XBOX 360" on the box, not "Only on XBOX 360 (and also PC when we feel like it)". It's stupid. Make it exclusive or don't. Stop jerking people around and looking for loopholes.

    Besides, isn't the PC version of GTA4 an unholy mess that requires almost a Crysis-level system just to run properly?

    @Archaotic: Couldn't Take-Two/Rockstar just bypass this "exclusivity" bullshit by releasing the GTA Episodes as GTA IV: Special Edition?

    Wouldn't something like that technically make the PS3 version a "different" game?

    Apparently, there was almost an 8-bit A-Team game made in the UK, but two software houses got into a legal battle over who had the licensing rights:

    Ocean Software (A company famed for it's movie/TV licenced output), and The Edge.
