The decision to keep GTA IV episodic content off the PS3 is a mean one. It may also have a big impact on both sales of the game and of the 360 and PS3 consoles themselves, so what could possibly lure Take-Two into going steady with Microsoft?

Oh, about $50,000,000.

This was revealed in Take-Two's second quarter fiscal 2007 results conference call. When asked for details on the move by analyst Evan Wilson, of Pacific Crest Securities, Take Two's CFO Lainie Goldstein disclosed both the sums involved and prospective release dates

Quote:
 

"The first 25 is for the first episodic content package that's supposed to go out and that is in March of '08. That's why it moved into current because it's in the next 12 months. The second 25 will be for the second episodic, the episode, and that will be later in fiscal '08."


So Microsoft ponied up $25 million a pop for exclusive rights to two GTA IV episodic downloads. Hooley dooley. Bets are now being taken on just how much these things are going to cost.


if you want I included the OFFICIAL Conference call so you can listen to it yourself...and that is here

Murder, murder, my mind state, shit ain't change since my last rhyme
The crime rate ain't decline
Niggaz bustin' shots like they lost they mind
Like twenty-five to life never crossed they mind
Tell me young nigga never learned a thang
Dead at thirteen cause he yearned to bang
Sent a lot of flowers, but how could I cry
Tried to warn the little nigga, either stop or die
Mercy is for the weak, when I speak I scream
Afraid to sleep, I'm havin' crazy dreams
Vivid pictures of my enemies and family times
God forgive me cause it's wrong, but I plan to die
Need to take me in heaven and understand I was a G
Did the best I could, raised in insanity
Or send me to hell cause I ain't beggin' for my life
Ain't nothing worse than this cursed ass hopeless life, I'm troublesome...
