A Take-Two spokesperson has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that the episodic content planned for Grand Theft Auto IV will be exclusively released for the Xbox 360.

Talk of an exclusive deal began following the release of Take-Two's Q2 financial report on Tuesday. The report stated that the episodic content would be released on 360 during the 2008 fiscal year - with no mention of PlayStation 3.

Now a company representative has told GI.biz, "The Grand Theft Auto IV episodic content is exclusive to Xbox 360."

Ah, MGS4 is on its way. I can sense it.

They couldn't fit the entire content on the 360 disc so they will have it on download via live?

Read, fool. Episodic content is different than retail game content at release.
Don't you know what episodic gaming is?
Look at Sam and Max. It's like saying Episode 1 is multiplatform but the sequels are only on platform X.

Even worse, La Noire taht was suppose to be a Ps3-exclusive might not a ps3 exclusive. Besides Heavenly Sword, MSG4 and FF, what does sony got going for it??

It definitely isn't a PS3 exclusive.

so why is so being chippy about spending money to keep their exclusives???

have you heard of "2 days to Vegas"? its eerilie similar to GTA4 ain't it?

I don't know what episodic contet means, but I've read somewhere a while ago. That the Xbox 360 will get an exclusive GTA 4 thing (kinda like an expansion pack for the pc) it was called something with Black can't remember the whole way.

But we might be talking about the same thing for all I know lol...

@JYUU
news are emerging that Microsoft shelled out 50 million dollars to get this downloadable content exclusively for the xbox360.

The first 25 million is for the first episodic content package that 's supposed to go out and that is in March of '08," Take Two CFO Laine Goldstein is reported to have said. "That's why it moved into current because it's in the next 12 months. The second 25 will be for the second episodic, the episode, and that will be later in fiscal '08."

So?
They secured exclusive content, that all what matters. =\

Well yeah, how else do secure exclusives? lol
