Microsoft Pays $50 Million For Exclusive GTA IV Content

Here’s one for the books. Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 are going to have Grand Theft Auto IV, however, thanks to a $50 million payment, further exclusive content will be available for the Xbox 360 only. It’s hard to say whether or not the extra content will cost money, but it’s difficult to imagine otherwise. This is $50 million we are dealing with. Microsoft will have fun earning that back from what I can see.

The first batch of downloadable content is scheduled for March 2008, followed by a later “fiscal ’08” launch for the second batch. I guess when you’ve got that much money in the bank, you can throw around $50 million like it’s nothing.
