Microsoft execs had a look of triumph when they announced that soon after the release of GTA IV, XBox Live users would be able to download two exclusive, new episodes adding hours of new gameplay. Now, it appears, PS3 owners will be given a similar option but with different content, exclusive to Sony's next-gen platform.
Some information about the content of these two new episodes has also been revealed to Eurogamer and it is suggested that these episodes will be new areas, expansions to the game map, presumably featuring new missions and enhancing the game's storyline.
This is an anti-climactic end to the GTA saga which initially was advertised by MS as a big win over rivals Sony. The truth is that Sony has now lost its special relationship with Rockstar and the old days of GTA exclusivity on the Playstation platform are now over.
Throughout this story we are all assuming that the exclusive PS3 and X360 content will be significantly different, it will be interesting to see what Rockstar comes up with in order to keep both MS and Sony happy.
