The reason to get Grand Theft Auto IV on the 360 is clearly Xbox Live. Don't say "Wahh that P.S.TRIPLE can do it too but bett4!" 'cause your lying.
MULTIPLAYER MODES:
Deathmatch: 2-16 players, Fairly self explanatory. Anything goes, you can use any tactics you like to kill off the competition. Confined to specific areas of Liberty City to keep the action intense.
Team Deathmatch: 2-16 players (in up to eight teams of two), Same as above, except you're working in teams. It's possible to have up to four people in one car (or helicopter).
GTA Race: 1-16 players, Race through the city on predetermined courses in a variety of different vehicle classes. You can pick up weapons en route and use these against your opponents, and you can also swap vehicles if you find a better one during the race.
[b]Mafiya Work: 2-8 players, Mafiya boss Petrovic has jobs for you, which he'll describe to you over the phone. Each job is like a simplified mission. You might have to pick up recruits for the firm or take out a target, or - PLAY Magazine's favourite - find and then dispose of a dozen severed heads.
Team Mafiya Work: 2-16 players (in up to eight teams of two), Same as above but this time you are in competition with another mafiya team for the same job. More tactical this time, and more challenging.
Cops N Crooks: 4-16 players (in two teams), One team plays the crooks, one the cops. One of the players on the crooks' team is [randomly] assigned the boss and the others have to protect him and get him to an escape location on the map, while the cops have to hunt and kill him.
Hangman's NOOSE: 2-4 players, Mafiya boss Petrovic has illegally flown into Francis International Airport, and someone has tipped off NOOSE. You and your team must protect Petrovic and get him to a safe location in Liberty City.
Free Mode: 1-16 players, Go anywhere and do anything! Like single-player, except playing with your friends.
#6 Yeah, because we all know that you and your friends are going to love playing the PS3 version with all of your friends. I don't know anyone that has a PS3 that plays with other PS3 owners they know.
And the exclusive episodic content isn't THAT awesome, since you will have to pay for it.
lol #6 is a jealous little kid. Xbox 360 owners get downloadable cities. PS3 owners do not. So basically we get the option to buy an expansion to the game, and PS3 owners can't get it. I'd say that makes the game a lot better for the xbox 360. Not to mention how much better the online play will be on the xbox 360.
You will never justify your purchase #6, no matter how hard you try kid.

#11 I think they were more worried about cannibalization in regards to sales of it and the other games released in the fall (Assassin's Creed, Halo 3, etc.)
#13 I don't think you understand. Their goal is to maximize profits, not to be competitive. It isn't a game for them, they have millions upon millions of dollars in development and marketing riding on it. Changing the release date to avoid cannibalization is commonplace in the video games industry.
#15 I am not trying to "sell" it, I am just pointing out the huge difference Xbox Live once again makes on the decision of which console to buy a game.
Why would I preach to a bunch of PS3 fans to buy it on the 360, a console they probably don't even have?
The question is why are you preaching in the first place. Why are you pointing out the differences (that you don't even know exist)?
I'm not going to argue that xbox live is better than psn or vice versa cuz thats pretty clear... but the game is exactly the same in all aspects, meaning yes the ps3 has online multiplayer just the same as the 360 does.
And furthermore, you are my new favorite fanboy of the month. Anyone who makes a post trying to sell a multiplat game to people on a specific console is a noteworthy moron. Join the ranks IamAmore, I'll put you right behind Drpepper on my list of people that make completely pointless, non-factual posts.
The PS3 right now is a bunch of promises, far-off empty promises and hopes for the most part.
#18 I am not trying to sell it haha. I am trying to discuss it! This is a forum! I know it will have everything the same in multiplayer be it XBL or PSN, hell the PS3 version probably has better graphics. If you have friends to play it on the PSN with then go knock yourself out, just from personal experience I don't see that as likely and all of my friends are on XBL.

Honestly why are you trying to sell this game to people that are already getting it on 360? What are you accomplishing here?
