Why Xbox 360 > Playstation 3 in Grand Theft Auto IV

xsynergyx | April 21, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
Game Daily has decided to diss the Playstation 3 and give 4 reasons on why Grand Theft Auto IV will be better on the Xbox 360 than the Playstation 3. A couple of the reasons include that many PS3 games require many gigabytes to run whereas the Xbox 360 does not and how the PS3 didn't come with HD cables where the 360 did. Go to the source to view the other two Whether you think these reasons are simply ridiculous or you agree with them completely, everyone has opinions and even when the game comes out, there's still going to be arguments.
Sure, PlayStation 3 has free online play, but Microsoft's Xbox Live is a premium service that allows for user-friendly match making and features a robust online community. Besides, it's much easier to locate friends and communicate with them. Considering that most of our closest buddies have Xbox 360s, it just makes sense to stick with that platform instead of playing lone ranger with Sony's black monolith.

    I'm tired of the same *bleep*ing articles over and over again with console fan boys at each others throats. Not only on the subject of GTAIV, but everything. The top ten most popular articles are usually littered with some sort of 360 vs PS3 article.

      Sadly, that is true. I thought of removing this article as well, but seeing as some people are commenting on how the GG staff is full of Sony fanboys, I decided to let this one through.
      No more fanboy articles for the time being, people. Whether it is 360 fanboyism or PS3 fanboyism, we have enough of those.

        Oh yeah, THIS proves the GG staff isn't full of Sony fanboys.

        Someone out there approved of Akashi's original wording of this article (only wish I took a screenshot or something. Maybe you saw it before it was edited). If that doesn't prove at least one moron on the staff has wet dreams of Kaz, I don't know what does. The fact you believe there are no Sony fanboys on staff with the likes of ITANI approving articles confuses the hell out of me.

          I really don't see what the hell everyone is getting crazy about. Its news nonetheless and i personally Doubt anyone of the article author meant any Flame wars to happen. Its just the fanboys that starts it. In my opinion i think the fanboys should leave this site. The news is fine and i don't see whats wrong with it.

          However i love how this article points makes no sense, other than the DLC. First off the PS3 controllers don't require batteries and they are rechargeable, through anything USB plug in. Hell its wireless, who needs wires when you have a cordless ones.

          The HD cables isn't really an issue. You can get a cheap 10 dollars one in stores, when you buy the game and system. Besides the PS3 does have HDMI standard on all consoles.

          And Jesus Christ the space isn't really an issue, i heard its around 1 GB. Which i think its very feasible and doesn't take up alot of space.

          Like i said the only thing i can see that makes sense is the DLC, everything else is just stupid. And while some of it is fanboyish i don't see how its not going to be allowed. Maybe GG needs to have supers take care of the flame wars instead of not allowing to post news. Its just not fair to anyone. This site is a news site, if you don't like the article or think its going to create a flame war just don't post in it, simple solution really.

      Those "fanboys" can go argue over gaming consoles that they have no financial ties to while I go play Grand Theft Auto IV on April 29.

    Truth, nothing is really fanboyish or anything. They're legitimate points and gripes.

    Some could be moot though...if you don't have a LIVE account or already have HD cables for PS3.

    I'm sure some people prefer the Sony controller as well. Not my personal preference, but to each their own.

    Own both systems and I'm still getting the PS3 version.

    I have HD cables, Prefer the DS3, have a huge upgraded harddrive and will probably never finish the main gta4 game so I wont be needing addition content.

      I see where your coming from...I probably won't get 100% completion either...but not doing all the paramedic missions is one thing...not doing sections of the story is quite another.

      I imagine for 50 mil Microsoft has secured a pretty sizable chunk of game...

      Like I said to each their own, but if you own both I think you'll regret not getting the one with bonus content.

          That was only an advance by the way, the true price has not been unveiled for the 2 pieces of content expect something closer to $200 million when the figures come out.

    I have both systems as well, and will be getting this for the 360. DLC was one of the deciding factors, I want to get the most out of this game as I can, as if MP alone won't do that, heh. Live was another factor.

    I'm glad this article was submitted and approved. There are more 'Sony-sided' articles on GameGrep from what I've noticed. I suppose the title could have been a tad more friendly, the 'question' for the other article isn't that much a difference.

    There's been so much about this and quite frankly aslong as it has the base of the game the same and i can enjoy everything in it then i'll be happy.

    I don't give a flying F if the 360 version turns out better.I'm getting it for PS3 so why the hell would I care about how good it's gonna be on 360?

      LordMaChao | April 22, 2008
      Uh, so the hell what? Should gamegrep articles revolve on whether or not the information is relevant to you?
      Just stick to reading ITANI if you want your 24/7 'Why the PS3 is awesome and the 360 sucks' news and ignore everything else.

        Once again people jump the gun (I really despise the human race sometimes).I have no objections to this article.I'm just sick of people going on about how much a game is going to rule/suck on a given console.

        FYI I don't think the 360 sucks (the way it was made yes, the console itself no) I'm probably gonna buy one when I think it's a good price.

        There's a few things I hate about the PS3.One of which is all the damn delays we have to suffer (why don't they just forget about Home?).

    Because it's a smarter decision! It's not fanboyish, it's called logic.

    $60 for GTA4 + access to bonus content > $60 for GTA4

    If the exclusive content was on PS3, then definitely we'd get it for PS3 instead.

      i thought the bonus content costs money

        Probably, no one knows that...hence access to bonus.

          LordMaChao | April 22, 2008
          There's no doubt it'll at least cost something.

          It may seem like a 'WTF, what's the point then?' kind of a thing, but just imagine if Shivering Isles was 360 exclusive extra content for Oblivion. That's what makes it worth it.

    Once again, here we are on the same topic that's been repeated at least five times here on GG.

    And they said GG was full of Sony fanboys. How many times again has this been brought up? Oh yes, at LEAST 5 times!

    Plus, what's so bad about not caring about which version is better, LMC? If someone chooses to buy it for PS3, is that really gonna hurt us here?
    • 2 thumbs!
      LordMaChao | April 22, 2008
      I don't care if he doesn't care. However, reading his comment, it's obvious he came in here with an "it doesn't affect me so why should ANYONE care (ps *bleep* you)" attitude.

      By the way, I don't mean to constantly come in here and rip GG apart or anything. I probably only contribute to the problem and make the few competent people, like Xenc, have to deal with more shit. But I'm weak. When I hear some moron who takes these console wars so seriously they're willing stop at no bounds to attack people who prefer a console they hate, I push back. Sorry. I just feel like it's impossible for anything on GG to be taken seriously if so many articles look like they're directly ripped from Sony Defense Force.

        See i don't get that logic, i can understand if you was a GG mod, but by you pushing back its just making things worse. Just leave to the mods.

        It was the same thing from day 1 of gamegrep. News is news at the end of the day.

          LordMaChao | April 23, 2008
          Final Blade doesn't get someone's logic - there's a shocker.

          Yes, we should all leave it to the mods - the VERY MODS most of us are complaining about. That's some brilliant shit man. That's gold.

          What the hell are you talking about? Your complaining about the Approves(aren't mods) not the mods. Are you suggestion Krunal, Xenc, Enhance and the rest are horrible? Seriously i hope your joking.

        There's no need to be sorry man, some people are indeed taking 'console wars' much too seriously. I haven't been paying attention to the 'wars' for a few weeks now, hasn't bothered my lifestyle one bit.

        How wrong you are.I was just trying to point out that not everyone cares about which version of a game is better.But I guess I should know by now that unless you don't FULLY explain yourself then people will take things the wrong way.I always just assume that people are smart enough to get what I'm talking about.But then again I am talking about humans here The smartest creatures, yet at the same time the most *bleep*ed).

          Yeah, you left out the words 'so many'.

          I don't get it. Your desire to let this one article be the exception to the rule only proves how desperate you are. You'll trumpet this as proof there's absolutely nothing wrong, but you'll ignore how Akashi's fanboy filth made it through the filters.

          StarJet | April 23, 2008
          First of all, I haven't even seen Akashi's original article. I only saw Xenctuary's edited version of it.
          And what I said before stands still. Go ahead and find an article (with valid points) that shows that the 360 is better, and it won't be rejected. I just don't know where you guys got this "OMG! GameGrep is full of Sony fanboys!!!111!!1!" crap. Didn't you ever consider the fact that no one submitted any "360 is good" news before?

          And lo and behold, slumpy gets thumbed down.

          GG isn't full of fanboys, just idiots.
