Grand Theft Auto IV Unveiled On 360
Despite expectations that this would be the least eventful of the E3 pre-conferences, Microsoft's Peter Moore drops the news that Grand Theft Auto IV will be on Xbox 360. Rockstar and Microsoft have teamed up to do exclusive episodic content in the GTA gameworld for the 360. Slated to release October 16, 2007 in North America, October 19 in Europe. Other details include lots of support for Live Arcade titles (Sonic, Galaga, Street Fighter II), the official unveiling of Shadowrun for the 360 and PC, the airing of the Halo 3 Teaser Trailer (which is already on Xbox Live), and much discussion of 'Live Anywhere'. This last is an expansion of Xbox Live to PC and cell platforms in addition to the Xbox arena.
Rockstar Games announces Grand Theft Auto IV for the Xbox 360(TM) and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.
The game will be released for both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 on October 16th, 2007. HOwever since you won't be able to play it on PS3 until late november when its released then it can be said that the 360 will have it first.
So you see what had happened was....
Yeah, sounds like the core game is for both but..
"Microsoft and Rockstar have entered into an exclusive deal to privide episodic content via Xbox Live Marketplace."
so additional content will be only available on the 360 if I understand this correctly.
