I'm not sure if any of you stumbled on this article, but when I did yesterday I thought to myself Oh yeah!? I went out today and pre-ordered 1 SE copy of GTA4 and 4 standard, for PS3. I'm keeping the SE version and two standard to give to my old man as a birthday present along with his PS3, another to my bro and the rest I'm eBaying. I might pre-order more seeing as we might get that $600 tax rebate and I wasn't expecting to get it.

I have both PS3 and Xbox 360 and I am not going to succumb to buying the 360 version.

I encourage others to do the same and purchase an extra copy of the PS3 version when you do. I already convinced two of my friends.

Blu for the Win!

I wouldn't doubt if 360 "Owned" launch #'s. But just because there's more 360 units out there. Isn't there? That would be the only reason I could think of.

[love blu or go home!]

Are the games the same? a friend told me the 360 ver has something the ps3 doesn't. Is that true and what is it?

How do you figure? Just because the disc can hold more doesn't mean they're going to make two completely different versions. Usually when a game's coming out on both they only have minor differences. It's just easier for the game makers to do that rather than make two totally different versions. Or do you know something about it that I don't? If so please provide a link.

wasnt really commenting on the versions of the game. Just that ours will look WAY better and if there is anything more ours will be the better.

There are tons of die-hard people that buy games,movies or books from Ebay who only buy from Ebay so I'm not really cancelling out any sales from doing so since they're choosing not to go to a retail store to buy the game in the first place.

According to Moore last year, he said each of the two episodes include a minimum of 10 hours of completely new gameplay. So they are very different. But who knows the exclusivity might be time specific and the content may be released on psn months later after it's release.

well, in PS3's defense, there are a butt-load more 360's out there than PS3's at the moment. I may be getting a 360 soon for the good exclusive titles, but anything being released on multiple consles would be a definite PS buy for me.

That seems like a huge waste of money. I can only play one of them. I can understand as gifts though, but if you buy extras then ebay them, you are cancelling out sales just by reselling them. Plus you are out some money yourself.

yes because its really important what platform sells more isnt it. Its not like its a games console itself or a exclusive. It doesn't matter as long as ps3 owners can get one or 5 in your case.
