1.1 - I don't know, sounds Fishy

EDIT: @1.2- I agree. After reading a little bit more about this rumor, it seems like bullcrap. Too many things in the article seem too fishy:

#1- giving Rockstar a blank check? Executives never say that.

#2- If this statement was given to the press, why was an Xbox only magazine be the only one with the scope?

1.2 - This just doesn't sound right...

This contradicts Jack Tretton's statement of Sony not buying exclusives. The only difference here is that Rockstar truly wanted this in the first place. To be able to harness the power of the PS3 solely and to take advantage of the benefits of Bluray. Who really cares about being the nice guy at this point? Good job taking initiative Sony.

if sony gets rockstar dat wud be HUGE

The next GTA that is the once coming out after nxt yrs will be GTA 7. San Andreas was technically GTA 5 and the next 1 would be GTA 6. GTA 3 was the first of the games to hit playstation 2. Then we had vice city and san andreas.

It was two GTA's before GTAIII, then there was Vice City and San Andreas, which would make 5...GTAIV makes 6...this exclusive would be the 7th in the series...and on the PS3 exclusively, according to OXM...no name announced yet...they could call it GTAV...

are you kidding me? exactly the type of person i commented on down the page; the typical "GTA7 is years down the road LOLZ" response. if you actually read it, you'd clearly state the 7th game of the series not GTA7 itself.

There was a GTA London also... and I think there were atleast one other GTA game before GTA3 (excluding GTA1 and 2)
So this would make this title...... GTA9? :O

6.1 - They aren't buying anything..

READ: Rockstar wants to make a game to harness the power of the Ps3, and Sony is providing them the money to do that. They are referring to the 7th installment of the game, as there are 6 games including GTA 4.

they've always done incentives; just never a "here's this much money to not make the game for any other system." In the grand scheme of things, it amounts to the same results, just phrased differently.

Did you really just say that? I hope that was sarcasm. People really need to just forget anything any Sony head has said up to this date because if anything they are the ones who hurt themselves the most when they talk. Did Tretton say that? Yes. Is he stupid for thinking anyone would believe it? Yes again.

And does anyone else think the timing of the cheaper PS3 and the Bungie separation on the same day is mere coincidence? I don't.

Xbots can disagree all they want but if its truly exclusive it should be SIGNIFICANTLY better than next yrs GTA since it will be able to take full advantage of the ps3's advantages and not being tied down by being a multiplatform game. A game like GTA would probably benefit most from advantage of blu ray and not to mention the standard hard drive that comes in each ps3.

14 - ok

"Sony has secured the next Grand Theft Auto, which would be number 7 in the series, to be a true exclusive to the Playstation 3"..

This means gta 4.. "the next grand theft auto".. GTA 4 will be the 7th game in the series.. why would sony pay for a game to be exclusive in the year 2010 or who know when.. and not even knowing if gta 4 will be any good? lol that would be retarded.. so the next gta is exclusive to sony meaning that the money ms gave to rockstar for extra content has to go back to them? This will be huge for sony if true.. If you think about it, it all makes sence..

GTA4 is delayed.. Ps3 has a big announcement.. g4 has a big announcement.. Rockstar keeps naming all these exclusive games for the ps3... Very interesting.. hmmmmmmm.. lol..

21 - FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE

That quote is exactly the same when Sony announced a few months back they got an exclusive IP from Rockstar. Here's the proof.

http://blog.us.playstation....

Rockstar are developing an exclusive franchise for Sony only, but whoever used this 3 month old quote and spun it to GTA SEVEN (what the..) is a comedy genius.
