Microsoft spends 50 million dollars on GTA IV content · 21-06-2007, 04:33 PM

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.

GTA together with FF and MGS made ps2 a household name.
Now m$ has a sorta exclusive on one (GTA).
they get FF but later,
that leaves only MGS....

m$ would've been happy spending 10 times that if rockstar would've given them exclusivity over GTA!

Bloody Hell 50 Million bucks, How many zero's? lol

GTA IV is gonna be a hell of a game, considering how awesome the SA was and the "stories" Rockstar is going to keep making money for a long time to come.

On the PC side AMD + ATI is being taken down by Nvidia and Intel
