I took the "it" to mean the exclusive content coming to X360..."it" will happen, because they had a deal.

The last chance thing, is a good ol' bit of snubbery though...snobbish snubbery....^_^ Sony putting competitors down, etc.

But if there is more to it....I wait with baited breath. ^_^

Also read the About Us page recently, and thought it was quite groovy Tim Smith was also another ol' Amiga Format-ter. ^_^

Well isn't Sony getting an exclusive RockStar title? Could that be it? Oh well, if you look at the charts, I don't know why Sony is having such a big head. Microsoft is a big company and they have said in the past that even if Xbox360 does as bad as Xbox did, they'll still make another one... the war will not end with this generation, and video games will see another golden age (this one fulled by the corporate war machine.

Yeah, well, it's quite likely PS3 will get dlc too, even if it's not the same content that's exclusive to 360.

I still had a hard time trying to tell my mate about GTAIV on X360. He seemed to think he had to buy a PS3 to enjoy it, and there are tonnes of casual gamers who aren't in the know about the DLC, and still associate GTA primarily with Sony, and use it as an excuse to purchase the machine.

There's a chance the X360 & GTA adverts may have changed the public's perception a bit, and it's good to see X360 in the lead with GTA sales, but 360 still has a larger installed base for the time being. In the long term, the PS3 could still overtake though, both in installed base, and in GTAIV units sold.

Following Take-Two's initial rejection of Electronic Art's tender to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock at 26 USDs per share, Sony Computer Entertainment may well have put forward a fair better bid at the end of April 2008 when Take-Two’s share-holders were willing to listen to other offers.

They may have even offered a complete buy-out of Take-Two, but if "Sony" now have a controlling share, I very much doubt any more Grand Theft Auto franchise titles will ever be made available for the current Microsoft video games platform.

Until the deal is legally recorded, David Reeves obviously cannot make (or would want to make) any details public in case the comments give Microsoft a similar opening (now they have loads of unspent funds previously allocated for Yahoo!).

BFN,
