According to an earnings call with Laine Goldstein, the Take-Two CFO, $50 million changed owners as Microsoft secures downloadable content for GTA IV. With this hefty amount of money, Xbox 360 will get two content packages.
"The first 25 [million dollars] is for the first episodic content package that’s supposed to go out and that is in March of ’08.", "The second 25 [million dollars] will be for the second episodic, the episode, and that will be later in fiscal ’08," said Laine Goldstein about money paid by Microsoft.
Nowhere is mentioned PS3 exclusives or episodic content, and asking the difference between Xbox 360 and PS3 version of the game Strauss Zelnick of Take-Two comments, "Obviously we’ve episodic content coming for X-Box 360 for the title and because the consoles do differ, there will be some differences in the games." This doesn't exactly raise the hopes of PS3 owners, but it is still a bit too early to say.
