If this is true, I do not think that Msoft bought out TakeTwo, instead, I think Msoft approached TakeTwo, offered a mountain of cash to abate their financial woes, and attached to that mountain of cash was a small, oh so small stickynote that said, "Make GTA4 exclusive".

Have a nice day -- except you, SDF. Let me hear it, "GTA wasn't a system seller anyway...".

Or MS just bought the rights to GTA. Interesting nevertheless and a absolutely HYSTERICAL post!

Damn, just when this was starting to sound like good news.

Not only would MS own GTA4 if they bought Take 2, but they would also gain back the rights to all the Old Bungie games like Myth and Oni...

Kinda strange that the 360 support page has a PS3 box shot...

Sarcasm aside - I doubt this will happen, but if it does, then can we shoot any fanboy that says "GTA sucked anyways, you can have it."? If not shoot, how about a public lashing?

P.S. I know anyways is not a word, but fanboys don't care.

That would seriously kill the PS3, and no amount of MGS4 could save that.

I'm waiting for the one commenter to not realize the sarcastic tone of the post and say something along the lines of "Joystiq is so lame. They're Xbox lovers and they're just trying to get more hits. That has got to be a rumor." Because I'm definitely 100% sure more hits = more $ for all those extremely wealthy bloggers that don't care about the industry but instead swim in a pile of advertiser's gold.

It's good to see a rumor announced, debated, heralded, investigated, and ultimately shot down within a single post.

What the hell are you talking about. There is a support page for the PS3 as well. They were in the process of the updating the support page when you wrote this.

The only thing that would worry me about this happening is MS dropping the ball and trying to market GTA IV to Japan instead of getting more Eastern oriented games out to Japan.

lol,
oh you guys, you're so silly.

for an announcement to even be remotely close to on the level of the new hardware announcement it would have to involve Halo 3 and a midget parade.
I can see those tiny master chiefs juggling flaming bowling pins now....
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

"12. I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but the page appears to be there:"

Thanks for proving me correct. Do people actually read or just react?

Hey ck, lemme just towel off some of this gold ...

... there, that's better. I'm dictating this to my secretary, so I apologize for any spelling errors. In between rapidly clicking refresh on the page to inflate our pageviews and taking personal phone calls from the Big-3 eager to buy advertising, we sometimes get around to making some posts. Glad you appreciated our tone. :)

Oh yeah,

Well, Take Two is for sale. MS does have money. It isn't outside the realm of possibility. We don't have to kill the rumor just because the poster of the article did.

Since everyone else's posts have already covered the essentials (insult ps3, insult 360, flame the fanboys, flame those who don't read the entire article, ask whether GTA will have boy-on-boy kissing), I'll move on to other data of interest:

Larry on channel 10 has come out to say that tonights big 'reveal' is **not** about the 360.

Niiiice post.

But what would all the blogs write about if MS just got fed up and bought Sony?

Actually, this should happen so that Ken can demonstrate the next version of Windows. I would pay to see that.
