There's over 100 hours of gameplay to begin with. I don't see why everyone cares so much about DLC. It most likely (and by most likely I mean 99% likely) won't even be free, so unless it can add a significant amount of gameplay, why bother?

Also, to Coaster Individual, I'm not sure exactly what your point was in your post, but the point of using Blu-Ray isn't necessarily to utilize the whole 50gb; it's to expand the limitations. There's only so much you can put on a DVD, and I'd be surprised if Rockstar hasn't had a significant amount of trouble getting Liberty City to fit on one.

^ yea from my understanding they did. They had to wait for the compression technology to be improved before they could put GTA 4 onto a dvd, but they did get it to work, didn't they?

As for the DLC, chances are, they're going to include significant new story lines in the GTA world, and not just a little bitty side story like what they did with Mass Effect. Sure you don't have to have it, but it'll be a nice way to continue the single player life of GTA before they move on to the next city in the generation.

Umm, GTA London was already done. Between GTA 1 and GTA 2 I think. But yea, they did that one already.

thats a hell of a read, good find! Bassically settles the argument between which version is going to be best (360). Glad i got my 360 a long time ago! I've never had any regrets.

GTA London was awful, GTA 1 was the second best game ever, GTA 2 was a bit gay also, 3 was damn pwnsome, Vice even more so and San Andreas is freaking sweet, just not quite as good as the very first one [:)]

I've pre-ordered mine now, decided to go for the PS3 version after all, really, it boiled down to the fact that I'm used to playing GTA on a Playstation Pad, not an XBox one [:)]

A GTA London now would most likely suck too, The streets in England are like half the width of those in America, to carry the same number of lanes, you'd be forever getting pissed off that you couldn't get anywhere. If anyone played "Getaway", that was in London, and that sucked [lol] Really, it's probably mostly to do with the fact that London sucks arse, it just generally is a bunch of gay.

After reading that article, I'll probably buy it on the 360 as well heh. I'm still glad I have a PS3, the games that are sole releases on the PS3 are far better than anything seen on the 360. It's just a shame that the 360 was released when it was making it the lead console for GTAIV, if it had been developed originally for the PS3, it would have been a far better game, but still.

The reason that ported titles have lower frame rates or w/e is because they'll actually run at 720p or 1080p on the PS3 where as they might run at like 640p or 600p and be upscaled to the higher resolutions.

I haven't seen a game run at full 1080p on my PS3 yet, they all run at 720p, it's been a bit of a let down so far. Motorstorm at 1080p would be the most glorious visuals ever seen!

I'm getting it for PS3, don't have it pre-ordered though.. I probably should pre-order it, either way I hope they have it in stock when I want to buy.

Usually places like wal-mart will have it in stock, but you would have to go pretty early.

Mine was supposed to be due today [:(] everything else I order off HMV comes the day before the release date, it's not fair! The email says they've sent it on it's way to me and it isn't here [V]

Dont for get the PSP title "Gangs of London".

I have both "The Getaway" and "The Getaway: Black Monday". The games were ok but IMO to real. It just didnt feel right. And yea, it sucks trying to get anywhere in London.
