$50 is an insignificant amount as far as anything GTA is concerned. They made $310 million on day one, reaching $500 million in the first week. If it sold 6 million copies in it' s first week, and has a lifetime sales expectancy of approx 18 million, $50 million is fuc.king pocket change.

If Take 2 wrote it into the contract that the PC version would feature all additional content and Microsoft' s choice was take it or leave it, they' d gladly have bent over an taken it. The content belongs to Take 2. They own it, not Microsoft. Microsoft aren' t payin for it' s development, they' re paying to have it " exclusively" on 360. It' s not about them *smirk* " allowing" anthing. They don' t own Take 2, they don' t own Rockstar and they don' t own the IP. Right now they have a signed agreement from Take 2 that promises that Rockstar will deliver 2 lots of episodic content " exclusively" for 360 at $25 million a piece. We don' t know anything else about the deal. However, as we' ve seen time and again, PC releases don' t factor into Xbox exclusivity. It' s almost inconcieveble that Take 2 would sign anything over cut and dry, essentially transferring ownership of the downloadable content to Microsoft. It just doesn' t work like that.

Not that it matters. If the EA deal goes through then they' ll break the contract and release the content on PS3 in the same way that Capcom broke their 3 game deal with Nintendo and released Viewtiful Joe, Killer 7 and Resident Evil 4 on PS2.

Historicly the GTA titles have sold less than a million on the PC, its not where the big bucks are for Take2
