HOLY CRAP! MS must of been desperate. However, this was a good move by MS, taking one of the best games on Playstation and bringing it to the 360 with episodic content. I think the sales of the game plus the sales of the episodic content should give them a huge profit.

This only makes the fact that my brother hates GTA even better. He owns a PS3 and I plan on getting a 360. If he were to buy the PS3 version of the game I wouldn’t have bothered with the 360 version, regardless of extra content, because I could buy something else... like Assassin’s Creed. But since he hates the series, I’m gonna be forced to buy the 360 version.

I just don’t like this at all. It’s really not fair because MS is such a big corporation they can just throw out money and get whatever the hell they want. Dirty really. Basically what those big corps like Exxon and AT&T do to get whatever they want.

They can do that because they have enough income because they make enough products and services people want. Quit bitching. The '70s are over, Zucas. Corporations aren’t evil anymore.

I don’t believe it’s right to completely monopolize in one market like MS has done and then simply waste money down the drain cause they can to try and monopolize other markets. It’s an unfair advantage. Unfair that MS can go in there and was $30 billion on trying to get the Xbox brand in the gaming industry and then use lots of other money to get it everything they can for cheap sale and whatnot. Just like AT&T uses their bigger size to take over other corporations and same with Exxon. Of course Exxon makes MS look like a small spec. Maybe they should enter the computer business and do to MS what MS does to others. Would you like that? Instead of Windows have Exxon’s OS system.

I don’t really have anything against Microsoft. I’m happy for them and where they are, considering it got all the way to there from a few people working in a garage. They worked their way to the top and made smart business moves. The business world isn’t about being nice. It’s about success. And Microsoft has done that.

Thank you you said what I said. Corporations aren’t about being nice. What I was saying.

But I really just don’t agree with going into an outside market as a bit corporation and simply throwing money everywhere to try and get you heavy ground in there and become even bigger.

SOny has enough money to spend on exclusive content as well. Besides Rocksatr could’ve just decliend the offer from MS but no they accepted it (of corse because it’s a lot of money).

Ah, I misunderstood what you said. I thought you were just being anti-Microsoft.

I personally am all for it now that I have a 360 =P
