Does the PS3 have the extra DLC now or is that still 360 exclusive?

well depends who you ask. the PS3 owners are hoping for some, the 360 IS getting some. some magazines have claimed that Rockstar is developing some for the PS3 just not as big as the 360's some dispute that. its a very mixed bag lol

Niko Bellic ?

Is he supposed to be Serbian or something?

Niko is from an undisclosed War Ridden Eastern European country. Sam Houser said his homeland is like the name of the GTA III character, its never revealed. although some characters in the game refer to him as "that polack scum" but thats probably just a random comment.

also heres a new screen of the HUD, complete with wanted circle on the radar.



when you get a wanted level, you must avoid the cops till you're out of that blue circle on the map. if a cop spots you. the circle centralizes again on where you were spotted. the higher your wanted level, the bigger the circle is. pretty cool idea. also the cops are smart this time. like in San Andreas if you got a wanted level and hid under a bridge, they'd still somehow find you. thats now fixed. you can hide from them and they will not find you. also heres a REALLY cool piece of info:

A Rockstar PR guy started walking Niko through the city while he spoke to me about various features in the game...more music than ever...lots of Eastern European music that hasn't been released in America...very cool stuff. But perhaps the coolest thing I saw while he was playing was when he stopped touching the controller. Niko stood still while Steve was occupied with something and right there, a taxi got rear-ended by another car. What followed was pure magic

The cabbie and the guy who hit the taxi jumped out of their cars and approached each other. Once they got in to each others' face the fists started flying. Meanwhile, cars are honking for the two vehicles to get out of the way. The two keep slugging away and a cop pulls up. He jumps out with his pistol drawn and both men throw their hands to the sky, surrendering. The cop then drags the cabbie away (he punched first), puts him in the backseat of the cop car and drives off. The other driver returns to his car, gets in and pulls away.

that is like the awesomist thing ever....

Man! this pisses me off so bad. I bought a ps1 for the first two GTA's, then I had to buy a PS2 for the next set of GTA's, now I have to buy a PS3?  I'm going on strike, I'm not giving in anymore. I'm not buying a wii either, screw nintendo too.

The 360 just became your new best friend.

PC hasn't been confirmed but it is still a big possibility

anywho the Official Playstation Magazine gave the game another perfect 10 out of 10 here are some key points

   

- One of the reasons Niko goes to Liberty City is to track down the man who betrayed his old army unit.
    - Cars no longer catch fire at the slightest provocation.
    - There are several points at which you make life or death decisions between key cast members.
    - Comedy clubs feature real comedians.
    - "Michelle" is the first girl that Niko hooks up with.
    - Dimitiri Rascalov is Mikhail Faustin's right hand man.
     "Other uses of the phone on missions include calling a target to make him come to the window and into Niko's sniper sight."
    - There is a museum called the Libertonian museum, which features dinosaur fossils and exploding vases. Environments such as these have been created specifically for shootouts, so there's plenty of cover.
    - The name of every radio station is revealed:
          o WKTT - We Know The Truth (right wing talk radio)
          o San Juan Sounds (latin)
          o Integrity 2.0 (speech, hosted by Lazlow)
          o Liberty City Hardcore (punk/hardcore)
          o Liberty Rock Radio 97.8 (classic rock)
          o The Vibe 98.8 (soul/R'n'B)
          o PLR - Public Liberty Radio (call-in speech)
          o The Classics 104.1 (old-skool hip-hop)
          o Jazz Nation Radio 108.5 (jazz)
          o Vladivostok FM (eastern european)
          o Radio Broker (alt rock)
          o Tuff Gong Radio (reggae/dub)
          o Electro Choc (dance)
          o Massive B Soundsystem 96.9 (dance hall)
          o IF99 - International Funk (funk)
          o The Beat 102.7 (contemporary hip-hop)
          o K109 The Studio (disco)
          o Fusion FM
          o The Journey (ambient/chillout)

Has anyone heard the rumours that this Nikko guy dies pretty soon in the game like first couple of missions and the whole thing is a metal gear solid 2 set up.

or dies at the end and they're doing a prequel or side game.

The people at the GTA Forums must be smoking some good shit to be thinking crackpot up stuff like that.
